Prev Chapter Next Chapter

Evan didn’t really care whether Rose Garden gets famous or not. But the fact that Nicole encouraged

the kids to complain to Russell made him very unhappy.

Back at Rose Garden, he approached Nicole once again regarding having her move out of Rose

Garden.

“It doesn’t matter if you need a lot of rooms. I can provide them, but not at Rose Garden.”

“I don’t get it, Mr. Seet. Why are you so eager to get me out of Rose Garden?” Nicole asked, staring

straight into his eyes.

After a moment of silence, Evan said, “Because of…someone.”

“Who is it?” Nicole asked curiously.

“A woman,” Evan said huskily.

“What kind of woman?” Nicole asked again, feeling as if she was actually prying too much.

“What does it have to do with you?” Evan replied with a question of his own, looking blankly at her.

Nicole shook her head. “Nothing! I’m just asking.”

Evan clammed up, only asking if she agreed to move out, and if she did, the location and price wouldn’t

be an issue.

She was silent for a moment. Then, raising her head and looking at Evan seriously, she said, “Mr. Seet,

I’ve thought about it and… I don’t agree to move out. But since you care about this place so much, I

can take a step back and it’s fine that you provide another place for me to use as an acupuncture

treatment room.”

“Nicole Lane, why do you insist on staying in Rose Garden?”

Nicole looked at him, her face darkened. “Because of one person.”

The tone of her answer was exactly the same as Evan’s when he answered her just now.

“Who is it?” Evan frowned.

“A man.”

Evan gazed at her through squinted eyes.

Is she copying me or…

“A man? It can’t be me, right?”

Nicole’s eyes widened in surprise. Is he still suspecting that I have an agenda against him?

She shook her head fervently. “It’s not you. It’s someone who cared for me.”

To the extent that he didn’t mind getting beaten up just to protect me.

Evan thought she was fabricating wild tales the more he listened to her.

How could someone who was very good and kind to her have anything to do with Rose Garden?

Rose Garden was the Seet family’s private property.

Before he was born, his great-grandfather had used his first pot of gold to build this place.

No one was allowed to enter Rose Garden beside the Seets and the Seet family’s servants. Therefore,

Nicole and that someone she spoke of couldn’t have anything to do with Rose Garden.

Thinking about this, he regarded her with increasing contempt, making her feel uncomfortable all over.

“Why are you looking at me like that?”

“I’m really curious. Is this nonsense of yours a skill that you were born with, or is it something that you

developed later in life?”

You’re the one who’s spouting nonsense.

Evan had always looked at her through the veil of his own preconception.

But what was the point of arguing with someone who didn’t believe in her in any way?

“Anyway, I’m not moving out of Rose Garden, Mr. Seet. I hope you’ll find a place that is suitable for me

to use as an acupuncture treatment room. Otherwise, I’m just gonna use the extra room at Rose

Garden,” Nicole said, staring fixedly at him. “Now, good day.”

Evan gave her a sidelong glance, got up and walked out.

This woman sure is stubborn. She’s still hoping to become Mrs. Seet, isn’t she?

How can I make her drop the idea forever?

At night, after putting the two children to bed, Nicole was sitting alone at the table, compiling books on

medicine when her phone suddenly rang.

“Nicole, it’s me.”

Zane?

Nicole’s heart thumped.

“What do you want?”

“Your mother’s death anniversary is in a few days. Could you come back? I’d like to have a chat with

you.”

Mom’s death anniversary.
