“Mommy, you need to apply a layer of foundation before putting on makeup,” Nina instructed.
“Alright,” Nicole answered obediently like a student.
She was very impressed with Nina for being particular with the steps, even though they were just
applying makeup for mannequin heads. She followed Nina’s instructions seriously.
“Nina, look at Mommy’s work. Do you think I have any potential in doing makeup? Should I learn this
skill from you?”
Nina frowned as she studied the mannequin head that her mother was working on.
“Mommy, are you sure you’re following my steps? This is not makeup anymore. You’ve totally changed
the style of the mannequin head. A sweet, pretty face now looks like a vixen’s face!” Nina commented.
Nicole could barely think of what to say.
She studied the mannequin’s head closely for a while. The blush and lipstick are just a bit redder and
the eye shadow is a bit darker. But does it look like a vixen? I didn’t exactly change the style.
Talking about vixen, I haven’t contoured this pair of eyes. She will really look like a vixen later with her
pair of alluring eyes!
After pondering for a while, Nicole started to contour the eyes of the mannequin head to her own liking.
After she was done with the eyes, she showed the mannequin head to Nina complacently. Nina
frowned and asked doubtfully, “Mommy, why did you apply such heavy makeup on her? I’ve never
seen you style yourself in this way, either. You like a vixen’s makeup style?”
Nicole was again lost for words.
She glanced disapprovingly at Nina. She was just applying makeup for the mannequin head by freely
following her heart and genuinely felt that it looked quite nice. To her, only heavier makeup could be
considered nice makeup.
“No, I don’t like vixens. I’m just applying makeup freely,” Nicole explained patiently.
Nina suddenly recalled that Maya had applied makeup to a mannequin head previously, and it was very
similar to her mother’s. She felt like comparing the two mannequin heads.
“Mommy, wait for a while. I’m going to bring another mannequin head here to compare with yours.”
Nina then dashed into her bedroom to get the figurine.
After rummaging through boxes and cabinets, she finally found Maya’s colorful mannequin head which
resembled a clown. She cleared the layer of dust on it and brought it out to show her mother.
By the time Nina returned to her mother’s room with the mannequin head, she was astonished by what
she saw.
Nicole had shattered the mannequin head and was mumbling continuously at the broken pieces. What
a horrifying scene!
Nina rushed towards her mother and shouted in concern, “Mommy! Mommy! What happened to you?”
Nicole turned to look at Nina with extreme hatred in her eyes, as if Nina were the person she loathed
the most.
Nina was shocked by her terrifying gaze and stuttered, “Mommy, why…why are you looking at me like
this?”
Nicole strode towards Nina, grabbing the girl’s shoulder as she hissed, “What! What did you call me?”
Nina was terrified and stammered, “I-I’m calling you, Mommy!”
Nicole stared fiercely at Nina as if she did not recognize her daughter at all.
In her eyes, Nina had turned into a horrifying monster with an enormous mouth.
All of a sudden, she pushed Nina hard on the floor and shrieked hysterically, “You’re a monster! You
swallowed Nina and Maya! You monster! Monster!”
Nina slumped on the floor and was about to burst into tears. She shouted frantically, “Mommy, I’m not a
monster! I’m Nina!”
Nicole’s eyes were already blinded by anger so she did not seem to have heard her daughter’s words.
She dragged Nina abruptly from the floor and bit her hard on the shoulder.
“Ouch!” Nina screamed in great pain.
Hearing Nina’s scream, Kyle darted towards them. He was dumbfounded when he saw what was
happening.
He yelled nervously, “Nina, what happened?”
“Kyle, Mommy bit me! Call Daddy quickly!” Nina cried out in pain, her body trembling in fear.
Kyle immediately moved forward and pulled Nina away from their mother. He looked at Nicole in
astonishment and questioned, “Mommy, what is happening? Why are you biting Nina?”
His mother insisted that Nina was a monster and kept hissing, “Monster! You’re a monster! You’ve
swallowed my Maya, my Nina…”
Sensing there was something odd with his mother, Kyle recalled his father’s reminder and called Evan
without hesitation.
“Daddy, please come home now! There is something wrong with Mommy! She has bitten Nina! She
even insisted that Nina is a monster!” Kyle told his father nervously.
Evan was speechless after hearing Kyle’s words.
He was in the midst of a business project discussion. His memory of Nicole hallucinating earlier quickly
flashed across his mind. Recalling how Nicole had hit and kicked him violently, he became very
worried.
