Levant smiled in response. If only it is that easy to move on. I… I guess I will try to do so.
“Nina, let’s go!” He turned around and left Nepenthe Valley with Nina. Three years later.
At the Seet Residence, Davin looked gloomily at his son, who had never won in a fight, and he sighed.
“Zayden, I don’t want to nag you, but you should be brave and strong. How can you not win her? You
should be a man.”
Zayden was rubbing his hands in confusion. He looked up at Davin, trying to understand what Davin
meant by being brave and strong and also a man.
Davin couldn’t help but frown at Zayden’s expression. He looked at Sheila, who was enjoying her
roasted pumpkin seeds at one side, and said, “Look at him.”
“What’s wrong?”
Sheila walked up to Zayden and looked at him. “He’s doing fine, isn’t he? What do you want me to look
at?”
“Look at him rubbing his fingers and his eyes when he’s looking at me. Don’t those timid eyes remind
you of Maya when she was younger?” He then looked at Zayden again. “The more I look at him, the
more I see the resemblance!”
That chubby Maya when she was younger?
Sheila frowned and looked carefully. “I don’t see it. My son is calm and steady. I think he resembles
Kyle more.”
“You must be joking. Kai used to defy me so much when he was younger, but Zayden can’t even fight
Joy. We should have named him something that represents bravery so that he grows up into a fearless
man!”
“Davin, can you stop thinking about fighting anyone? Zayden’s name was a family decision. Moreover,
he’s three months younger than Joy. What’s there to be embarrassed about for not defeating Joy?”
Sheila picked Zayden up in her arms and squeezed his cheek a little before kissing it. “Look at how
adorable he is.”
“Adorable? Joy is the definition of adorable. I think she’s even more adorable than Nina and Maya
when they were younger.”
“Davin, why are you praising other children instead of yours? Zayden is hungry. You should go and
prepare his milk.”
Davin looked into Zayden’s widened eyes. “Do you want your milk?”
Zayden nodded in delight.
“I’ll give you two bottles of milk, but you will have to defeat Joy after that. Do you get me?”
Zayden licked his lips and nodded.
He would agree with anything if he could get milk in return.
Zayden was still drinking his milk when a sweet voice said, “Zayden, I’m here to play with you.”
Zayden widened his eyes in shock after hearing it was Joy’s voice. He immediately hid in Sheila’s arms
while holding his milk bottle.
“Look at him being this afraid when she’s yet to appear. How embarrassing!”
Evan walked over with Joy’s hand in his. Joy greeted sweetly upon seeing Davin and Sheila. “Hi, Uncle
Davin and Aunt Sheila.”
“Joy, you’re such a good girl. Zayden is still having his milk now. Can you wait for him to finish his milk
before playing with you?”
“Sure!” Joy blinked her clear eyes and stepped aside to wait.
After Zayden finished his milk, he was still lying in Sheila’s arms, refusing to let go of his milk bottle.
“You have already finished your milk. Now go and play with Joy.”
Zayden turned around and sneaked a glance at Joy. He then got out reluctantly of Sheila’s arms.
Right then, Sophia was walking down the stairs with two lollipops in her hands. “Joy, did you come here
to play with Zayden?”
“I’ve missed you, Grandma, and I came here to see you.”
“How sweet of you! I’ve missed you too. Here, I have two lollipops. One for you and one for Zayden.”
Joy ran over to Sophia. She picked a lollipop that had a sheep printed on it before giving Zayden the
lollipop that had a wolf printed on it.
