However, when he realized the real reason behind Sir Musgrave’s desperate search for Nicole, Levant
changed his mind.
He would never let anyone threaten his position as the heir to the Musgrave dukedom.
However, she didn’t necessarily have to be a threat to him. Levant decided that he needed to speed
things up between them a little.
…
Nicole returned to her house, lost in her thoughts. Just as she stepped into the courtyard, she spotted
all four of her children gathered around in a circle, whispering mysteriously to each other.
They seemed to be plotting something big.
“Hey, you lot! What do you guys want for dinner?”
Her sudden presence made all the children startle in fright.
Nina looked at her, trying to recover from her shock. “Mommy, we’re having a meeting about something
very important!”
“Mommy, our revenge plans are nearly complete! We’ll be able to push them out very soon. When the
time comes, we can finally take our revenge!”
Nicole understood the situation immediately. Her kids were still trying to come up with ways to get back
at Daphne.
“Well then, Mommy will leave you guys to it. I’ll go see what we can make for dinner tonight!”
“Mommy, I think you should prepare a feast to encourage us.”
Hearing this, Nicole felt a little startled.
If these words had come out of Maya’s mouth, it would have been perfectly reasonable. However, what
shocked Nicole was the fact that Kyle had been the one suggesting this.
She turned around to stare at him, before shifting her gaze to Maya, whose eyes were blinking like
glittering stars.
Nicole’s shocked gaze made Maya feel a little perturbed. She looked back at her mother, confused.
I wasn’t the one who brought up the idea of a feast! Why are you looking at me like that?
Besides, no matter how much I like to eat, my mouth is bound to get tired sometimes, right? Why can’t
Kyle get hungry at times too?
Why are Mommy’s eyes shifting around so rapidly as she glances from one of us to the other?
After she confirmed that Kyle had really been the one to say that, Nicole looked at her son and asked,
“Kyle, is there anything you want to eat? Mommy will make it for you.”
Kyle started rattling off a list of food, but all of them were Maya’s favorites.
Ever since Maya destroyed Nina’s clothes a while back, all her snacks had been confiscated by the
latter. Because she was so hungry, Kyle had even seen Maya doodling a biscuit on paper before
tearing off the drawing and stuffing it into her mouth to stave off her hunger pangs.
Feeling sorry for his sister, he decided to let her feast herself for once to make up for the past few
weeks.
As she listened to Kyle’s list, Maya’s eyes widened with surprise.
What a coincidence! Everything Kyle wanted to eat was on her list of favorite foods.
When her son finished speaking, Nicole realized immediately that he intended the feast to be for
Maya’s enjoyment.
She was pleasantly surprised. This boy was a nice brother who knew how to spoil his younger sister.
Kyle was a real tsundere. Whoever married him in the future was bound to lead a very happy life
indeed.
“Alright. Mommy will make it for you right-away.”
Kyle nodded.
Maya blew a raspberry. She walked over to Kyle and said cheerily, “Kyle, you’re so nice to me! I like
you.”
“…”
This sudden declaration of love made Kyle feel a little embarrassed. A ghost of a smile appeared on his
face, which normally assumed a cold expression.
Nina felt a little jealous. She turned to look at Juan and said, “Juan, you’re my older brother too. Can’t
you treat me well?”
“Sure I can! What do you want to eat? I’ll get Mommy to make it for you.”
Nina pouted grumpily. Unlike Maya, she didn’t fancy stuffing herself with food all day like a glutton.
“No thanks. If I eat like Maya the pig, I’ll grow so fat that I won’t be pretty anymore. I want…”
She rolled her eyes at Maya and thought deeply about what she wanted.
How dare she call me a pig, and an ugly one at that? Maya’s face contorted with rage. She turned and
walked into her room, emerging with a hammer in her hand. She stalked up to Nina and waved the
hammer in her face.
“If you call me that again, I’ll bash your head in with this hammer!”
Nina was stunned speechless.
Wow! Had the Maya Punch become Maya’s Hammer now? More accurately, it was
Maya’s Steel Hammer…
Had Maya kept this hammer around in preparation to go up against her one day?
If Maya really smashed this thing against her head, the consequences would be dire! An expression of
fear flashed across Nina’s face.
Alright, little sister! I’ll back off for now.
“Um, I—I still have a few dummies that I haven’t put makeup on yet. I’ll go do that for them now.” As
soon as she finished speaking, Nina turned and fled.
As she watched Nina run off in fear, Maya smiled with self-satisfaction.
As much as Nina was blunt and straightforward, Maya knew that she had a horrible fear of being
beaten up.
