Chapter 362

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

After agonizing over it for a while, Rocky decided to drop by and visit her. However, for the sake of Yan

Group’s reputation, he promised himself that he wouldn’t butt heads with Evan Seet this time. Instead,

he would soften his attitude towards that man and treat him like a friendly acquaintance.

After all, given his current situation, he couldn’t afford to let Ian pick on another one of his mistakes

again.

By the time Rocky arrived at Summervale, Nicole and Evan were already gathered around the dining

table with the four children. A steaming pot of beef stew had been set down in the middle of the table.

Seeing him, Nina exclaimed joyfully, “Uncle Rocky, you’re here!”

Nicole looked quite surprised by his arrival, too. “Rocky! I didn’t think you would suddenly drop by for a

visit. Why don’t you have dinner with us?”

Rocky smiled and shifted his gaze to Evan.

“Mr. Seet, may I join all of you for dinner?”

His words made Nicole feel a little perturbed.

After all, this house belonged to Rocky. Why was he behaving like a guest and asking permission from

Evan first?

Evan shot him a look and said coldly, “You’re not welcome here.”

He couldn’t be bothered to be polite to Rocky.

To Mr. Seet, this was the most polite he could be with his love rival, especially one who was shameless

enough to show up at Nicole’s door.

Rocky stood in the doorway, aghast. Before he could say anything, Nicole jumped in and snapped, “Mr.

Seet, how could you be so impolite! This place belongs to Rocky. What’s wrong with him staying for

dinner?”

Is Nicole still unaware that Evan Seet bought this apartment from me?

Rocky smiled blandly. “Nicole, you’re wrong about that. This place belongs to Mr. Seet now. He bought

this apartment from me.”

Rocky seemed to place an emphasis on the word ‘bought’.

Nicole swung around to look at Evan in shock.

No wonder he had taken it upon himself to behave like the owner of this place and refurbish this entire

place a few days ago! He was now the owner of this apartment!

However, he had never spoken a word about it to her.

Evan had bought her a house, helped her out with her struggling family business, and taken such good

care of her kids…

Why had his attitude towards her undergone such a huge shift recently?

Nicole couldn’t make any sense of it.

Rocky continued, “Since Mr. Seet doesn’t welcome me here, I’ll make a move first. Nicole, I’m afraid I

won’t have time to drop by the clinic these few weeks. If you have any issues, give these people a call.

Although their acupuncture technique isn’t as good as yours, they can do other things for you.”

As he spoke, he handed her a stack of name cards.

Nicole looked at him with gratitude. “Thanks, Rocky.”

“No worries. I’ll take my leave now. Have a good dinner.”

“Wait!” Nicole said. “I’ll send you downstairs.”

Nicole followed him downstairs and watched as Rocky drove off in his car. When she turned around,

she saw Evan standing right behind her.

“Mr. Seet, why did you come downstairs too?”

“Let’s go back upstairs and continue our dinner.”

Evan’s expression was a little ugly as he said this. He turned around and stalked off in the direction of

the elevator as Nicole trailed behind him.

In the elevator, Evan started pointing out everything that was wrong with Rocky.

“Coming over so late at night? Ha, he must have had an ulterior motive! If he wanted to pass these

name cards to you, he could’ve sent them to your office or to the clinic. Why did he need to deliver

them to you himself?”

Nicole looked Evan in consternation as he continued to rant and rave. She wondered again if

something had happened between both men in the past.

If not, why would Evan, with his cold, aloof personality, have so much to complain about when it came

to Rocky? Whenever he got the chance, Evan relished in tarnishing the other man’s reputation. He had

even bought over Rocky’s house…

Remembering Rocky’s unpleasant tone from just now, Nicole suddenly realized that Evan must have

forced Rocky to give up that apartment to him!

She turned around to look at Evan suddenly. “Mr. Seet, did you have any ulterior motives when you

bought Rocky’s house from him?”

Evan shot her a look. “No.”

Yeah right, Nicole thought.

Everyone did things to fulfill an ulterior motive. That was especially so for the business-minded,

calculating Evan Seet.

“Mr. Seet,” she said, “isn’t it quite inappropriate for me to live in your house without paying you any

rent?”

Her words rubbed Evan the wrong way.

So she was happy to live in Rocky’s house free of charge, but she refused to live in his without paying

rent?

Perhaps Nicole was closer to Rocky, after all.

Well, Evan thought bitterly, my attitude towards her has been quite horrible. I deserve this!
