It was Sir Musgrave who made the call.
Levant hesitated briefly and answered with a very loud and respectful greeting.
“Levant, I’m not doing so well, and there are many things that need to be dealt with urgently. Come
back as soon as possible.”
“I understand, Father. I need to sort some things out, but I’ll be back before you know it.”
Levant also decided to let Nicole tag along.
He then called Nicole and said that he would pick her up at Imperial Garden to do a DNA test with him.
They would depart for K Nation as soon as the results came out.
“Sounds good.” Nicole sighed deeply and immediately let Yoda make preparations for the trip.
For Yoda to follow her on his own would have been inappropriate. She then decided to let him pick a
team of bodyguards that would follow them there as well.
Nicole was worried that the testing center he picked was not trustworthy. There was no telling if anyone
would alter the results, so she took matters into her own hands. Nicole decided to pick out the testing
facility herself, claiming that she had friends there and so the results would be out faster.
Levant had no objections and readily agreed.
When they arrived at the testing facility, she watched carefully as Levant had his blood sample taken.
After that, the pair decided to wait together.
“Why don’t you go back first?” asked Levant. “I’ll stay and let you know when the results are out.”
‘Let’s just wait together, it’ll be fine,” murmured Nicole.
She felt more at ease if she were there to ensure that nobody tampered with the results.
Levant understood what she implied and didn’t ask again. The two waited until the results came out.
Nicole widened her eyes as she saw the results: non-related, kinship index null.
That meant she was not remotely related to the Musgrave family.
“Nicole, I think this should ease your concerns?” asked Levant.
Nicole nodded. Levant looked at her with a deep and meaningful gaze. “Let’s go to K nation this
afternoon, then. I’m assuming it’ll be alright on your end?”
“I just need to notify the children when I go back. It shouldn’t be an issue.”
“Alright, let me take you home.”
Back at Imperial Garden, Nicole and Yoda were discussing how to tell the children. “What if they have
separation anxiety?” asked Nicole worriedly.
“They will understand,” replied Yoda calmly.
Nicole was still uncertain. She waited for the children to come back from school and summoned them
into the study.
“Mommy is going on a business trip. Can you go to Seet Residence and stay with your Grandma for a
while?”
“On a business trip? Where? For how many days?”
“Mommy, I don’t like the Seet Residence! I like it better here!”
“Mommy, who are you going with?”
Seeing how her children truly cared about her, Nicole decided to tell them the truth.
“What? You’re going to K Nation? With Mr. Levant?”
Nicole nodded dumbly.
“Don’t you want us anymore, Mommy?” pouted Nina. She looked at Nicole accusingly and asked, “Is
Mommy going to abandon us and run off with that man?”
“Of course not! I just have something important to attend to. When that’s done, I’ll be on the first plane
home!”
“Is Yoda going with you?”
“Yes, I’m bringing Yoda with me as well as a few extra bodyguards. I’ll be safe, don’t worry.”
Hearing what she said, the children were relieved.
Although they had yet to find evidence, they knew Yoda was Daddy. Knowing that Daddy would be with
Mommy made them feel reassured.
“Mommy, you have to come back soon.”
“I will, darling.”
Nicole idly stroked the heads of the four children. She really couldn’t bear to leave them behind, but
she had to.
Maya rubbed her chubby little hands together anxiously and looked at Nicole with tears in her eyes.
“Can’t you take me with you, Mommy?”
“I can’t, darling. But I promise to video call you every day, alright?”
“Maya, listen to Mommy,” said Juan. “Mommy must have something important, and you have us to take
care of you.”
Maya looked at Juan and nodded, reluctantly.
After making arrangements for the children, Nicole and Yoda rushed to the Levant Winery alongside
their carefully selected bodyguards.
Levant had prepared his private jet for the occasion. After a ten-hour-long journey, they finally arrived at
K Nation.
Luckily, the Musgrave Estate was a short drive away from the private airfield they landed in.
Nicole stood outside and looked at the stately castle, her face filled with wonder.
There were towers, cupolas, and arches: elements that made the castle more magnificent than the
average manor.
