Chapter 652

Prev Chapter Next Chapter

The hammer Daddy gave Maya was made of bread and was obviously fake; it was just to scare Nina

off.

Looks like Mommy really misread the situation. Should we explain everything to her?

Maya’s round eyes turned watery when she saw how angry her mother was. She tilted her head down

and walked to her mother with fear pumping through her veins. Maya then promised, “Sorry, Mommy. I

will never use Maya’s Hammer again.”

Maya knew that Maya’s Hammer could never injure Nina, but she didn’t want her parents to argue

because of her. Hence, she decided to take a step back.

Nina rolled her eyes at Maya. The former felt that she could finally vent all her frustration with her

mother backing her up, so she requested, “Mommy, my Nina Strike needs an upgrade as well. Please

make me a pair of Nina’s Claws. We’ll see whose weapon is more powerful.”

Nicole turned to Nina and replied, “Maya has already promised to never use Maya’s Hammer, so let’s

not get Nina’s claws, either. We’re putting this matter to rest. This is all your stupid daddy’s fault.”

“Oy, Nicole Lane, who are you calling stupid?” complained Evan grouchily.

Nicole crossed her arms and scolded, “You! I’m calling you stupid. How stupid does a father need to be

to teach his children to fight with weapons? You stupid oaf!”

Evan was so tired that he couldn’t even be bothered to explain the situation.

He simply walked down the stairs and went to the kitchen. Nicole couldn’t help complaining behind his

back a little when she saw him walking away like that.

Only after she could no longer see Evan’s back did she turn to coo the girls and urge them to play.

“Mommy, you haven’t made Daddy apologize to me yet,” reminded Nina as she stared at Nicole.

Nicole turned her gaze toward the kitchen. Getting Evan to apologize? There’s a bigger chance of me

sprouting wings and flying!

“Maya has already promised that she won’t use the hammer anymore, so let’s not keep holding the

grudge, okay? Go and play now.”

“Hmph, Daddy only likes Maya!” complained Nina as she pouted her tiny lips. She turned around and

marched to her room in a rage.

Nicole went to the kitchen and saw that Evan was cooking.

At first, she wanted to ignore him completely, but she later thought about it and walked to him.

“Evan Seet, do you really not like Nina?”

Evan turned to Nicole and refuted, “When have you ever seen me act like I don’t care about Nina?”

“If you care about her, why would you let Maya use a hammer on her? You’re acting like Maya is your

daughter while Nina isn’t.”

Am I? But I’ve never felt that way. They are all my children, and I love all four of them just the same.

“Be nicer to Nina; she is a stubborn kid. She once made a mistake with her make-up model and got so

frustrated that she cried. Her tiny hands trembled and she teared up, but still, she refused to stop

working on it. The more stubborn a girl is, the more care and love she needs. It’s like steak. The thicker

the steak, the longer it takes to cook. You understand that, don’t you?”

Evan turned to Nicole. His eyes shone like he was deep in thought.

Not knowing what he was thinking, she let out a sigh and left the kitchen.

After being in a daze for a while, Evan took out his phone and called John. “Find out who is the best

make-up artist in the world,” he instructed.

“Mr. Seet, are you not happy with your mask and are thinking about using makeup?”

“No, I just want to hire that person to teach Nina.”

John was dumbstruck.

Wow, Mr. Seet doesn’t just spoil his wife. He goes overboard for his daughter, too. Nina is just a kid but

Mr. Seet is already hiring an expert to give her pointers.

“Understood. I’ll look into it right away,” replied John. He was about to hang up when he suddenly

thought of something that he might need to report to Evan. “Mr. Seet, your brother fired me so I won’t

be able to go to the office anymore. You’re aware of that, right?”

“I know. Report to Lane Corporation tomorrow.”

John was taken by surprise.

I heard that both Mr. Seet and his wife were present when Mr. Davin decided to fire me.

Mr. Seet never spoke up even when Mr. Davin fired me? Is Mr. Seet secretly upset with me and wants

me gone, too?

“Is there anything else?”

“No, not at all.”

John sighed after hanging up the phone. He had been working as the assistant to the Seet Group’s

president for years. How will my colleagues see me when they learn about me getting laid off just like

that?

I thought Mr. Seet’s return meant that I would get some support, but…

John sighed in disappointment before grumbling to express his frustration. No wonder they say blood is

thicker than water. Mr. Seet and Mr. Davin are brothers; naturally, he won’t help me!
