Nina, however, didn’t share her bubbly enthusiasm. The two girls even got into an argument over it.
“Daddy lied to you. He brought that woman for a checkup at the hospital, remember? Wait until that
woman gives birth, then you’ll know that Daddy is nothing but a liar. He’s the biggest liar in the world!”
“No. Daddy would never lie to me. And he’s not a liar!”
“Yes, he is!”
“No, he’s not!”
“Yes, he is!”
“No, he’s not! He even told me to tell you to rest well and said that he is going to come visit you. Nina,
Daddy cares about you so much, but you said all those terrible things about him. You’re horrible!”
Maya, who was initially in high spirits after the phone call with her Daddy, couldn’t stand it when Nina
badmouthed Evan and hence, began arguing with Nina.
Nina wasn’t about to back down either. “You’re horrible! You’re a traitor for going behind Mommy’s back
to help Daddy. You should just let Daddy take you away so that you can live with that bad woman and
evil daddy.”
“You go live there! You’re too much, Nina!”
“No. You’re too much, traitor!”
“Well, you’re mean! You’re evil…”
Their childish squabble managed to catch Nicole, Kyle and Juan’s attentions.
“What’s going on? What are the two of you fighting about?”
“Mommy, Maya secretly called Daddy. She’s a traitor!”
Nina announced it with her chin raised.
Maya twisted her chubby fingers together as she fell silent. Then, she abruptly wailed, “I’m not a traitor!
Mommy, Daddy said he’s gonna come visit Nina. He even said that he wasn’t gonna have another baby.
Not even one!”
Silence ensued.
They went for a pregnancy checkup, so of course they’re having a baby.
Evan said that just to bluff an innocent kid like Maya.
“Alright, alright. Stop fighting you two. If this continues, I’m gonna separate the two of you into two
bedrooms. No more sharing.”
The two little girls exchanged a glance, seemingly unwilling to sleep in different bedrooms. Hence, they
clamped their mouths shut in complete sync, silently agreeing to stop arguing.
Nicole went back to the living room. Just as she sat down, Sheila rushed over with a bunch of stuff.
“I heard that you’ve regained your memories. I came to visit you and your children.”
“Thank you! Come, take a seat!”
Sheila sat next to Nicole and prodded in a soft voice, “So? Are you planning to start over again with Mr.
Seet?”
Nicole’s eyes snapped towards Sheila and she gaped at her in bewilderment. “He’s already married to
another woman. Even if I’m a spineless woman, I would never start over with him again!”
Davin was actually the one who told Sheila to come over here today.
This was because Davin had overheard the conversation between his mother and one of the maids
earlier this morning.
That maid had been specially arranged by Sophia to work at Hillside Villa so that she could monitor
Susan.
Through their conversation, he had learned a few secrets and believed that he could use them to draw
his brother and Nicole closer. Hence, he couldn’t wait to tell Nicole.
However, it wasn’t appropriate for a grown man like him to talk about such a sensitive topic, so he
entrusted Sheila to do it instead.
Sheila remained silent for a moment before speaking, “Ms. Lane, it’s one thing to hold a wedding
ceremony, but whether it’s legal and whether they’re actually together completely different matters.
Things aren’t what you think they are between Mr. Seet and Susan.”
Nicole couldn’t fathom what Sheila meant by these words.
Her brows knitted together as she queried, “What are you trying to say?”
“What I mean is, Mr. Seet and that woman, Susan, are only husband and wife in name. Besides, they
didn’t even get a marriage certificate. Strictly speaking, they aren’t a legally married couple, nor have
they consummated their marriage. So, I think you should get rid of Susan, and repair what you had with
Mr. Seet. The fact that Mr. Seet hasn’t touched her even after such a long time is enough to prove his
sincerity towards you!”
Sheila thought that what she said made sense. She told Nicole to sleep on it and then take action once
she came to a decision, so that her four children could have a complete family as soon as possible.
Nicole laughed mirthlessly and asked her, “Only husband and wife in name? I witnessed their wedding
with my own eyes! Haven’t consummated their marriage? Susan is pregnant. Where did the baby come
from? Evan even accompanied her, no, carried her for her pregnancy checkup. So tell me, what was that
all about?”
