Even Maya herself could not describe that man.
Noticing Evan’s cold expression, Sylphiette smirked happily. Mission accomplished!
“Apologies, Nicole. I shouldn’t have intruded on your private matters,” she said. “Let’s go, Evan. I don’t
need an apology from her.”
Evan looked at Nicole for a while longer before turning around and leaving.
“Thanks for helping me out, Nicole!” Sylphiette sneered before rushing out of the door. “Evan! Wait for
me!”
Nicole watched as the two of them walked back to the main house together as she struggled to catch
her breath.
Sylphiette’s tricks did not matter to her; what mattered was Evan’s attitude towards her.
‘I’ll never fall in love with her no matter what’…
Her heart twitched painfully whenever she thought of his words.
The pain reminded her to steer clear of him and keep all inappropriate thoughts at bay.
“What are they doing here, Mommy?”
She looked down to meet Nina’s eyes. “Everything’s fine, don’t worry.”
Nina stared into her mother’s eyes, noticing how moist they were. I bet evil Daddy and the witch
ganged up against Mommy!
“It’s time for dinner, Nina. Tell your siblings to come here,” Nicole said.
Nina nodded and ran off to get her siblings.
During dinner, Nina stared into space as she pondered over her plan to teach her evil daddy a lesson.
However, she could not come up with a good plan.
What if we targeted evil Daddy’s favorite witch?
We’ll be able to take revenge for Mommy and teach them a lesson!
After dinner, she dragged her siblings into their room to discuss her plans.
The other kids were indignant to find out that their mother was bullied, and were determined to take
revenge for her.
The two boys suggested punishing Sylphiette first, since she was the one who guilt-tripped Evan into
bullying Nicole.
Maya seconded their opinion as she was on good terms with Evan after he served them a sumptuous
lunch.
Nina, however, insisted that Evan was to blame as well.
She wanted to punish him alongside Sylphiette.
Juan grinned. “Why don’t we beat the witch up someday?”
The others shot down his idea immediately. “We’re never going to win!”
“Why don’t we just…make her disappear?” Kyle suggested.
Disappear?
That seemed like a good idea…
“But…how?” Nina asked. “Daddy’s going to find her no matter what…”
Maya stuffed her last French fry into her mouth and wiped her hands clean on her shirt. “Why don’t we
just throw her into a pond?”
“…”
The kids looked at each other in silent agreement.
“Will she drown?”
“I don’t think so. The water isn’t that deep.”
They figured that the chilling cold of the pond would be sufficient to teach Sylphiette a lesson.
“What if she calls for help?”
“Well, we could…”
“I think Maya should…”
“…”
The kids decided to execute their plan on Saturday afternoon.
The next day…
Evan returned to Rose Garden only to see Sylphiette talking to a stranger.
Sylphiette stood up and ran over to him the moment she saw him. “Welcome home, Evan!”
“We have a guest today?” he asked.
Evan studied the man from head to toe. He was tall and slender, though not as handsome. Even so, he
was still better-looking than the average Joe.
