Davin quickly explained his plan. After listening intently, Nicole fell silent for a moment before figuring she
could play along. This is for Levant’s sake. I’ll consider this as doing him a favor.
Levant walked in and was surprised to see Davin and Sheila too. “What a coincidence! You’re both here
too.”
“Yeah, we’re here to congratulate Nicole. Is that what you’re here for as well?”
Congratulate her?
Levant scratched his head in confusion. What is there to congratulate her for?
Just as he was about to inquire, Sheila proudly announced, “Nicole is pregnant again! She’s going to
have another child soon. Isn’t this great news?”
What?
Nicole is pregnant again?
Levant clearly looked shocked as he stared at Nicole’s flat belly. But she doesn’t look pregnant at all!
Feeling uncomfortable being gazed at like that, Nicole turned away. Sheila rolled her eyes at Levant.
“What are you staring at? She just got pregnant, so it’s not like her belly would look any different yet.”
“Are you really pregnant, Nicole?” asked Levant. He still couldn’t believe it.
Nicole nodded. “Yeah. It’s only been two months, though.” A hint of guilt flashed in her eyes, but she
hurriedly suppressed it.
Still, her words were like a knife stabbing into Levant’s heart. His beautiful fantasies of being with Nicole
had now been shattered into pieces.
All this while, the man constantly awaited his chance, hoping that Evan and Nicole would part ways. Yet,
now…
I guess that day will never come.
At this very moment, his heart turned into frost. It was so cold that he felt numb.
Davin and Sheila exchanged glances. I think it’s working! He looks awful. He’s definitely going to give up
on Nicole now.
“Well, now that you know she’s pregnant, aren’t you going to congratulate her?” Sheila asked a cold-
looking Levant.
There was no way Levant could do that.
There was nothing to be happy about. After all, the woman he had loved all these years was now
pregnant with another man’s child. To him, there was nothing crueler than this.
“I have something else to take care of, so I’ll be off now. Get some rest.” Levant glanced at Nicole before
turning to leave.
Davin was rather surprised. “He just left like that. What did he come here for, then?”
Sheila snorted. “What else? He came to see Nicole, of course! But now that he knows she’s pregnant, he
probably feels it’s over for him and has no choice but to walk away.”
Nicole stared at Levant’s back, feeling slightly unsettled.
She could never return the man’s feelings for her. I hope you’ll find your own happiness soon enough,
Levant.
Davin and Sheila left Imperial Garden and returned to the Seet Residence, only to find Jonathan and
Sophia seated on the milky white premium-quality leather couch with concern written all over their faces.
The young couple glanced at each other with curiosity. Did something happen?
“Mom, Dad, what’s wrong? Did something come up?”
Sophia sighed internally. What’s wrong? Your father’s life is in danger—that’s what’s wrong! We have a
tough nemesis to deal with!
“Not at all,” Jonathan spoke up. “I’m just having a chat with your mother. Where did you two run off to?”
He didn’t want to tell Davin about an old nemesis seeking revenge.
It was my fault back then, so I’ll be the one to take responsibility. He had the feeling that if his children
were to discover such a horrible past about their strong and capable father, all the respect they had for
him would surely vanish in a flash. Hence, they were better off not knowing.
I have nothing more to ask for as long as Evan and Davin run Seet Group well. It won’t matter if I’m no
longer alive.
