“Okay.” Nicole nodded solemnly.
“Good girl.”
Evan patted her head before he walked out of the bedroom. Before he left, he even reminded Nina and
Maya, “Both of you are big girls now. You’re not allowed to frustrate Mommy, okay?”
“Don’t worry, Daddy. We won’t,” Maya replied, but her eyes remained fixed on her laptop screen.
“Don’t worry, Daddy. We’re big kids now. We have our own things to be busy with. We won’t fight every
single waking moment anymore.”
Hearing them, their father left Imperial Garden, feeling somewhat relieved.
Nicole sipped from a glass of milk as she lazed on the balcony, bathing in the sun. Just as she was
wondering how many chestnut cookies Evan would bring home, her phone rang.
She saw that it was Sheila after glancing at the screen and swiftly picked up the call.
“Hello, Nicole, it’s me!”
“Sheila, is there something I can help you with?”
“There is, actually. Nicole, can you help someone with something?”
“Who needs my help?”
“Are you home now? I’ll visit you there.”
“Yes, I am. Come on over. I’ll be waiting for you.”
Nicole, who was resting and recovering, would not bother with other’s personal affairs. However, Sheila
was good friends with her, and the woman took good care of her children. Nicole could not reject lending
her a helping hand.
When Sheila reached Imperial Garden, she immediately grabbed Nicole’s hands anxiously, ignoring the
cup of coffee Nicole had brewed for her. “Nicole, how are you feeling? Will it bother you if I were to ask
you to help me? Levant is involved with this. Will it affect your mood to hear about him? Will it affect your
recovery rate?”
Levant is involved in this matter she came to talk to me about?
Nicole had yet to see that man for several days. She heard that he had come to Imperial Garden multiple
times, but Evan had always instructed the bodyguards to stop him from entering the place.
“What is it? Don’t worry; I won’t be affected. Tell me what it is.”
“Levant got drunk two months ago, and he thought Tiffany was you, so he… slept with her. Now, Tiffany
is pregnant. Levant doesn’t want the child, but Tiffany does. Levant’s father and Sophia found out about
it, and they want Tiffany to give birth to the baby too.”
“Tiffany is pregnant with Levant’s baby?”
It was certainly a surprise for Nicole to hear that.
Nevertheless, she thought it was good news. Levant was not a young man anymore; it was time for him
to settle down and have a family. The baby arrived just in time.
“Levant rejected Tiffany at first. Later on, the two of them made a promise in front of Davin and I. In half a
year, if Levant doesn’t accept her, he gets to leave. However, within that half a year, she got pregnant.
What I wasn’t expecting was for Levant to reject her even more after she got pregnant with his child.”
Sheila paused and took a few sips of the coffee. She then continued, “The most pressing matter now is
what we should do about the baby in Tiffany. The baby’s alive! We’ll be taking someone’s life if we ask
her to abort it. Sophia hopes you to convince Levant to keep the baby in Tiffany.”
“She wants me to convince him?”
Sheila nodded. “Yes. That’s what Sophia is planning. Levant has a crush on you – he can’t let you go. He
won’t listen to anyone now, but he might listen to you.
It was a tough matter for Nicole. While the baby was innocent, Levant was a stubborn man. Nicole could
not guarantee that he would heed her words. Moreover, this was a private affair between Levant and
Tiffany. It did not seem appropriate for her to intervene.
“What does Tiffany think about this?” Nicole asked.
“Tiffany wants the baby. Levant disagreed, and he even locked her in the house, forcing her to abort it.”
“He locked her in the house?”
How can he do that? That’s illegal!
“Nicole, based on my observations, all of them have their own plans. Murphy only wants the grandchild;
he plans to bring the grandchild away to K Nation and raise the child there. He doesn’t care about what
happens to Tiffany and Levant.”
