What a stark contrast!
Evan sneered, obviously not convinced, but he didn’t probe further as he knew very well that women
were hard to understand. No matter what had prompted the sudden change in Nicole’s attitude, he was
already very happy to be treated by her like this.
“Fine. I’ll believe you just this once.”
Afterward, he dug into the food she specifically prepared for him.
After taking a shower, the two of them lay on the bed.
Nicole couldn’t help thinking about something related to Zane. As Sheila said that Evan was
investigating it, she wondered if he had found anything.
Driven by curiosity, she wanted to ask Evan about it but was afraid of exposing Sheila, so she made up
a reason.
Clearing her throat, she looked at him with a serious expression on her face. “I dreamed of Zane last
night. He told me that he’s still alive. Do you think that it’s true?”
Evan stiffened slightly as he replied in a gentle tone, “No idea.”
“Where do you think he would be now if he were still alive?” Nicole continued to ask him.
Evan turned to look at her. “Since you’re so good at dreaming, you can ask him when you dream of
him!”
“…”
Being rendered speechless, Nicole pouted. Fine, I’ll investigate it myself!
With Sheila and Davin here, I can also find out whatever clues that Evan has found out!
Seeing her crossing her arms while leaning against the head of the bed in silence feeling down, Evan
reached out to pinch her fair cheeks.
“Be nicer to me. I’ll tell you everything you want to know.”
Tempting me?
Nicole looked at him suspiciously. “Really?”
Evan nodded his head. “Why don’t you try?”
“How can I be nicer to you then?”
While Nicole was thinking hard, Evan pulled her into his arms.
“I’ll teach you.”
It turns out that doing that kind of thing means being nicer to him?
He’s really a pervert!
The next day.
Nicole had only gotten out from under the blanket with her messy hair when Evan got the breakfast
ready and woke her up to eat.
After stretching her body and rubbing her eyes, she looked at the matching clothes on the hangers and
smiled sweetly to herself.
It does feel good to be taken care of by someone.
She got out of bed and washed up before heading to the dining room.
The kids were already done with their breakfasts.
“Breakfast is in the microwave. I’m sending them to kindergarten before heading to the company.”
“Okay.”
“Goodbye, Mommy!”
“Goodbye, Mommy!”
The kids waved goodbye to her.
Maya looked at her with envy as she voiced her admiration from the bottom of her heart, “I’m gonna
look for a husband like Daddy in the future.”
“Why?”
“I’ll be spoiled with love. I also don’t have to get up early to cook, and there’s even money to
burn.” There are so many advantages!
“Don’t just notice Mommy’s current happy life. Think about how hard it was for her to raise us by herself
before this. She had to bear all the hardships and sufferings on her own.”
Maya fell into deep thought. Recalling Nicole’s hard time while looking at the tall, stalwart figure of Evan
before her, she changed her mind. “Then, I’ll think about it again. Maybe there’s a better husband than
Daddy.”
The other three kids gave her a look. Maya has high requirements.
After breakfast, Nicole did the dishes. When she was about to go to Lane Corporation, she received a
call from Sheila.
“Nicole, there’s news about your dad. Davin and Mr. Seet are rushing over. Should we go and check it
out?”
“Where?”
“Levant Winery!”
“Okay, let’s meet there.”
After hanging up the phone, Nicole found the place on her navigation system and drove there.
Thirty minutes later.
As she parked her car outside the winery, Sheila happened to arrive as well.
“Nicole, the owner of this Levant Winery is very mysterious. Even my dad doesn’t know who he is and
only knows that he has power that is best not ignored. Let’s be careful.”
“Sure.”
The two of them walked into the winery cautiously, looking for Davin and Evan.
“Is there a need for a winery to be so extravagantly renovated like a palace?”
