“Of course, we can’t control your feelings. But I hope you’ll take what we’ve said into consideration.”
After hearing her words, Chris had a dark look in his eyes.
I did expect Nina to fall for me, but I didn’t expect it to happen so soon. After all, it’s only been eight
months since I’ve gotten to know her…
Seems like my plan was successful. I can commence it earlier now.
He looked up to meet Nicole’s eyes. “You have a fair point. What I feel for Nina is admiration, and not
love. It’s just that, if you switched her teachers so quickly and made me disappear from her life, she will
need to take a very long time to get over it. I think that we should help her reach some sort of
understanding for her to get over me at her own will.”
These words caused Nicole to feel both surprised and delighted.
If Chris could clarify things with Nina, then it’ll be way better than Evan’s overbearing plan. And Nina will
come to a realization quickly too.
“So you want to clear the air with Nina?”
“Nina is a prideful girl. I think she’ll understand things better if she experienced it firsthand.”
Nicole frowned. “What do you mean?”
When Chris finished, Nicole and Sheila looked at each other. “I got it! If Nina sees him together with
another woman, she definitely won’t allow herself to continue liking him and will lose her feelings for him
eventually.” With that, she turned to Chris. “But didn’t you say you don’t have a girlfriend?”
“That’s right. So I just need someone to pretend to be my girlfriend. For this role, we’ll need someone
who’s pretty and has an air of elegance around them to make Nina feel that she has no chance against
her and give up on me. This is for Nina’s sake, but…”
“But?”
“It’s just that, I don’t know anyone like that.” He turned to Nicole. “Mrs. Seet, I’m sure you are acquainted
with many socialites. Could you find someone who meets these criteria?”
Nicole was still deliberating, but Sheila promised him immediately. “That’s easy, just leave it to me! I’ll
find you someone pretty. And if she falls for you, then it is all the better for you!”
“Alright, then we’ll plan out how we’re going to let Nina find out.”
When Nicole left Chris’ house, she felt like a great weight was lifted off her shoulders. However, she was
still worried about Nina. For her to find out that the person she likes already has someone else… that
would be a big blow.
“Nina would probably be devastated,” she sighed.
“Nicole, we’re doing this for her sake. Even Chris said that he doesn’t have any feelings for her, so we
should help her get out of this rut as soon as possible. She’ll get over it, and it’ll be good for her.”
“I just hope that things will turn out as we’ve planned.”
“Relax. I’ll treat you to some coffee. We haven’t been out together for so long, we don’t have to go back
so soon.”
“Sure. Now that you mention it, it has been a while since we’ve had coffee together.”
“Exactly! I have so much to tell you.”
With that, the two women hurried to the café.
In the Imperial Garden, Davin stared at Evan but was hesitant to speak. Nicole’s not here, so does that
mean she really went with Sheila?
Did they really go to meet that handsome man?
Being a person of jealous nature… or this jealous maniac of a brother I have… How could he sit on that
chair so calmly while leisurely enjoying his tea?
“Hey Evan, where’s Nicole?”
“She went out,” he replied.
“Do you know to what she is up to?”
“Yes. To meet someone.”
“To meet a man?”
“Yes!”
Davin was taken aback by his brother’s resounding answer. He furrowed his brows. “You sure are
generous to allow your wife to go meet another man.”
Evan raised his head and stared at Davin with cold eyes. “Didn’t Sheila go with her as well?”
