“What? But why?” Nicole was rather shocked.
“I don’t have all the answers, but one thing I know for sure is that it’s got to do with you. He wants to
tear us apart.”
Nicole was guessing the same.
“Levant… Levant wants to marry me, but I’m not sure why. And… and I’m actually not Zane Lane’s
biological daughter. Levant told me that my biological father is someone from the Musgrave family.”
Nicole’s looked at him, all serious, as if revealing a big secret.
However, Evan did not seem surprised at all. “Do you want to know who your biological father is?” He
asked calmly.
Nicole paused for a moment, and then nodded.
Of course she wanted to know who he was. She had always been trying to imagine how her biological
parents were like. How they met, and why her mother never told her anything about him.
“Then you must pretend not to know about anything in front of Levant.”
Nicole’s eyes widened. “Are you not jealous about Levant wanting to marry me?” She asked.
Pursing his lips into a smile, Evan replied, “He’ll give up sooner or later. Moreover, what do you intend
on doing to make me jealous? Right before my eyes?” He pinched her, chuckling lightly.
Upon hearing that, Nicole breathed deeply and looked away. “I… I wasn’t thinking about anything. I
wasn’t thinking straight.”
“Hah… Good girl! Alright, let’s go home.”
Watching Evan put on the Yoda mask again, Nicole could not help but sigh.
“Why didn’t you choose a more handsome mask?”
Evan coughed awkwardly.
Hmph. I’m doing that for your reputation. What would people say if they see you and the kids with some
other handsome man after my death? And yet you are asking me such a question? Hah… How
heartless of you.
“Let’s get going.” Evan sounded a little displeased.
Nicole got dressed and walked out of the private room because it seemed that Evan was not planning
on giving any explanations.
Meanwhile, at the Imperial Garden.
Juan stood before the three other kids. His gave a mysterious expression, and said, “Guys, I think that
Yoda is our Daddy!”
Nina was the first to make a rebuttal. “Impossible. Yoda is nowhere as handsome as Daddy!”
After saying that, Nina immediately felt a light punch on her arm. “Nina! Stop judging people from their
appearance. Yoda is so nice to us, I’m not letting you call him ugly!” Maya spluttered.
Nina turned around to look at her. “Hmph. I’m just stating facts!”
Looking at Nina’s poor attitude, Maya rolled her eyes.
“I believe that Yoda is Daddy,” she said.
“You do?”
Juan was pleasantly surprised. Maybe she has noticed something suspicious too!
“Well, Yoda treats us really well, just like Daddy,” Maya replied, blinking innocently.
Kyle nodded at her. Maya has always been able to arrive at the right conclusions, no matter how
unreliable her reasons may seem.
“Well, I think Maya’s right. Why else would he treat us that well?” He added.
Nina was not changing her mind. “But why would Daddy choose to be Yoda? Yoda’s so ugly-”
Before she could finish, she felt another Maya Punch land on her back.
“Stop saying that he’s ugly!”
Nina rubbed her back, her expression bitter. “You… you are ugly too! You are even uglier than him!
You’re an ugly, fat pig!”
Angered by Nina’s words, Maya pouted, her body brimming with rage.
“Nina, how dare you call me fat! I’m not going to forgive you!” She shouted her words like a war cry,
before landing more punches on Nina.
While Nina did want to fight back at first, she quickly gave up and decided to run away from the Maya
Punches.
Even as she ran, she still made the effort to yell “you’re a fat pig” at Maya.
“Stop right there! Stop it!”
Maya was not giving in either. As she chased Nina all the way downstairs, Nina bumped into Nicole
who just arrived home.
Upon seeing Nicole, Nina tugged at her clothes and began complaining about Maya.
“Mommy! Maya punched me! She’s going crazy!”
