I have to tell Evan about this, or else he will be pissed.
He stepped into the dining room. “Mom, Dad, two of you are really too much.”
“Are you not awake, child? How can you say this?”
Davin sighed. “Nicole and Evan are a match made in heaven. You can’t break them up sneakily like
this. Moreover, they are adults who are perfectly capable of handling their own relationships. What
century are we living in? You shouldn’t be interfering!”
“What are you talking about? It was Nicole who said that she wasn’t compatible with your brother and
that she doesn’t want to marry him!”
Jonathan stared at him keenly.
Davin sighed again. “Good things come to those who wait. When the time is right, they will naturally be
willing to marry each other. There is no doubt that they are the perfect match for each other!”
“You.. what are you talking about? You scoundrel, I haven’t started on you. Go and think carefully about
you and Sheila!”
“……”
Davin glanced at Jonathan and did not dare to say anything else. He knew that when it came to the
topic of marriage, he will definitely be chastised.
He looked down and remained silent as he kept shoving food into his mouth.
After breakfast, Jonathan went upstairs. Davin looked at Sophia and asked with feigned surprise,
“Mom, I’ve a little question for you.”
“What is your question?”
“Did the power structure in our family just go through a change? You used to be our leader who always
had the last word. Why does it feel like Dad has become the leader now?”
Sophia was stunned, “Do you want me to have a fight with your father to get the power back?”
Davin thought carefully before looking at Sophia earnestly.
“Mom, don’t fight. That is not an advisable strategy. I think you need another solution to reinstate your
position and image as the family leader.”
Sophia nodded in agreement and gave him a thumbs up.
“I know where you are coming from. In order to not to disappoint you, I have decided to bring Sheila
here and model best practices when I am reinstating my image. Therefore, this will help her become
the decisive family leader when she is with you.”
“……”
Davin immediately froze as if he were struck by lightning.
He really wanted to ask her, “Are you my real mom?”
When he walked out of Seet Residence, he was headed to Nicole’s place when his phone suddenly
rang.
He took a glance and indeed, it was from Sheep.
He didn’t feel like picking up the call, but was worried that she would call his mother instead. He had no
choice but to pick up the call reluctantly.
“What?”
“Davin, what kind of tone is that? Did you just have gunpowder for breakfast?”
“Just spit it out. I have some important things to do.”
“What do you need to do? Bring me along!”
“You? You…”
Davin thought carefully for a while. There are some things that I can’t say to Nicole later. It might be
easier for Sheila to communicate with Nicole since they were both women.
Moreover, if she is tasked to match up Evan and Nicole, she would have less time to pester me.
This would kill two birds with one stone!
He coughed a little and said, “Alright then, you can go to Summervale to wait for me, and I’ll bring you
to meet my sister-in-law.”
“Sister-in-law? You mean Nicole?”
“Yes, Run along. I’ll see you in twenty minutes.”
With that, Davin hung up and sped towards Summervale.
When he got there, Sheila was already there. She waved to him excitedly when she saw his car.
“Here, I’m here!”
Davin got off from the car and walked towards Sheila.
“Why did you come here to look for Nicole? Is there something important?”
Davin looked at her and nodded earnestly.
“Of course, this is a tricky situation which you can’t handle. Hence, I have to do it personally.”
