“Evan, please don’t have any misunderstandings about the photo that I’ve just sent to you. I just think
that it’s slightly inappropriate for Ms. Lane to be with another man overseas. She had even posted the
photo so publicly!”
Evan frowned. When he heard his phone buzzing earlier, he stole a brief glance at it. Nonetheless,
upon seeing that it was a message from Sofie, he decided not to click on it. However, upon learning
that it was a photo of Nicole with another man overseas, he immediately hung up the call to look at it.
“It’s him?”
Evan glared at the picture, his eyes gleaming with fury.
Did Nicole go to K Nation with Rocky, or…?
She had arrived at K Nation merely an hour ago! Why is she dining with Rocky? They’ve certainly
headed there together!
Otherwise, isn’t this too much of a coincidence?
It’s no surprise that she’d given me such a vague answer when I’d called earlier, asking her when she
would return.
Very well! How dare she leave the kids with me, while going on a rendezvous with a man overseas?
The more Evan thought about it, the more furious he became.
Soon, he called John. “Is there a business negotiation that will require us to head to K Nation?”
Thinking about it, John eventually replied, “Mr. Seet, there are three projects that are related to K
Nation. However, as we’ve already settled them a few days ago, there are no more open projects left.”
“There is one!”
Is there?
Although he had racked his brains, John could not seem to recall the company having such a project.
“Mr. Seet, there really aren’t any projects left!”
To his misfortune, Evan was persistent, as he insisted, “There must be one!”
John was rendered speechless.
Why is he suddenly asking for a business project in K Nation?
“Mr. Seet, I’ll make a call right now to arrange for it.”
“Good. Book a flight to K Nation for me as well. Do it as soon as possible.”
“Yes, Mr. Seet.”
Hanging up, Evan soon made his way to Kyle and Juan’s bedroom. He informed them that he would be
going on a business trip, and he instructed them to take good care of themselves and their sisters.
“Daddy, Mommy has recently left for a business trip. Why are you leaving too?” Juan looked at him,
feeling rather puzzled.
I’m going on a business trip to bring your Mommy back!
“I’ll be sure to return, as soon as I can.”
Juan sighed, his expression sullen. It looks like we’ll have to experience how it’ll feel like, not having
our parents by our side; to not have them dote on us anymore!
Tucking the two boys in, Evan soon walked across to Maya and Nina’s bedroom.
Nina merely nodded at his words, not showing much of a reaction to it.
On the other hand, Maya stared at him, her expression a mixture of surprise and worry.
“If Daddy and Mommy are gone, will anyone bully us?”
“No. I’ll ask Uncle Davin to send you to the kindergarten. He’ll pick you up too. Grandma will also take
good care of you.”
Uncle Davin has always been nice to us.
When we’d left Seet Residence after eating there, Grandma gave me a lot of delicious snacks. She had
even promised that she would buy pretty clothes for me and Nina!
Uncle Davin and Grandma will take good care of us, right?
Although Maya still felt worried, she gazed into Evan’s eyes and reminded him seriously, “Daddy, you
must return earlier! If someone bullies me and I’m unable to fight back, I’ll call you.”
Evan stroked her tiny head. “Okay. I’ll always be within reach over the phone.”
“You must remember your words, Daddy!”
Making his way out of their bedroom, Evan instantly dialed Davin, asking him to come to Summervale,
to take care of the kids.
Upon Davin’s arrival, Evan took his departure without any delay. He took a flight to K Nation the very
same night.
By the time Evan reached, it was already two in the morning at K Nation.
However, he did not alert Nicole that he had come. Instead, he made haste to discover where Nicole
was currently residing, by locating her phone.
Thereafter, he checked in at the same hotel as hers.
He wanted to see what ‘business’ Nicole and Rocky were here for.
Waking up the next morning, Nicole was quick to dress up as she put on some simple make-up,
heading to the restaurant for breakfast.
She ordered a glass of milk and a plate of omelet.
The waiter placed the food down in front of her. While she ate, she pondered over how she could clarify
her doubts with Sylphiette.
Just when she was looking very troubled, Rocky approached her. “May I sit here and dine with you?”
Nicole had always treated Rocky as a friend of hers. Seeing that he was acting so politely, she soon
found that she had felt slightly uncomfortable.
