“Does everyone not like me because I’m stupid?”
“No. He just doesn’t believe in my words. Maybe he hasn’t realized that you’re missing. Once he does,
he’ll call me again, so don’t worry.”
I will definitely make him regret his mean attitude earlier on. That’ll tamp down his arrogance!
“Maya, I’ll bring you home, okay?”
Maya hesitated. “I want to look for Mommy.”
“Trust me. Your mommy will pick you up from my house, okay?”
Maya blinked as the gears in her head turned. The pretty miss bought me food and she knows Uncle
Davin, so I don’t think she’s a bad person. Hence, Maya nodded.
“Good girl. Come, let’s go home.”

Meanwhile, Davin was bored out of his mind in his room. His brother had promised to send Kyle and
Juan over to keep him company, but he still saw no signs of the two children until now.
As he sighed, he looked out the window.
Three minutes later, he grabbed his phone and called Evan.
“Evan, where are Kyle and Juan? Don’t go back on your words!”
“They’re with their mother.”
“What?”
Davin was surprised by his words. Previously, Evan had sworn to never let the two meet their mother
again.
How could a man like him go back on his words so quickly?
“Evan, are you messing with me? Did you think that you can give me empty promises now that I’m
immobilized?”
Evan was frustrated by everything that was going on. The last thing he wanted to do now was deal with
his brother, so he handed his phone to Juan.
“Uncle Davin, we’re with Mommy.”
“Really? I haven’t even gotten rid of the vixen yet, but your daddy has already made up with your
mommy?”
“No, Maya’s missing. Mommy’s very upset, so Daddy let us keep her company.”
Maya’s missing?
Davin was flabbergasted. How can a cute girl like her be missing?
As Juan briefed him on what happened earlier, he suddenly remembered the call from Sheila.
Did she mean to tell me that the girl calling me ‘Uncle Davin’ is Maya?
“Hold on, Juan. I need to hang up the call first. I’ll call you back later.”
After he ended the call, Davin searched for Sheila’s number and called her.
Sheila was preparing dinner for Maya when she saw the call from Davin, and her lips curled up into a
smirk.
David Seet, you’ve finally come to me.
She tapped her phone to accept the call.
“Sheila, was the kid you were talking about earlier a girl? Is she plump and super cute?”
“Yes, she said she’s Maya.”
Sheila’s answer was the one Davin was hoping for.
“It really is Maya. Thank God! This is great.”
Davin was overjoyed. “Quick. Send the girl to… Hold on. I’ll give you an address. Send her there.”
“Do you think I’ll send her just because you asked me to? You were cursing at me earlier. Davin, if I
don’t make you apologize to me this time, my name’s not Sheila Mu!”
At that, she hung up the call.
After giving it some thought, she called another man.
Forty minutes later.
Sheila looked out the window to see several cars parked outside her house. There was a line of men
standing in front of the cars.
The easiest person to spot was Davin, who was sitting on a stretcher.
“Evan, you knew that the Seet family is in discord with the Mu family. Why did you force me to come
here and apologize to a woman? If news about this spreads…”
That’s it for me!
Bye-bye reputation!
Davin turned around to shoot a glare at Evan.
“Stop with your nonsense. She’s the future daughter-in-law that Mom approves of. What discord do you
speak of?”
“That’s Mom’s problem. Evan, you should be siding with me. Why are you siding with Sheep?”
Davin had been calling Sheila that name for years, and Evan could not believe that his brother was still
doing that.
After momentary contemplation, Evan looked at him with a solemn expression.
“If I side with her, I’ll get a flock of lamb-nieces and lamb-nephews.”
Stupefied, Kyle stared at Evan and inquired, “Daddy, what are lamb-nieces and lamb-nephews?”
