Companion
Feeling surprised, Evan turned toward Nicole. “You used to be so adamant about people being free to
find love at their own pace. Why are you suddenly so keen on introducing other people to them?”
“Even if they want to find love at their own pace, there should still be a time limit. As their mother, I can’t
just sit back and watch them march into their thirties or forties all alone.”
She paused for a while and continued, “Besides, I only want to introduce them to some new friends and
broaden their choice. I’m not forcing them to be in a relationship and trying to barge into their lives; I’m
just concerned.”
After some thought, Evan agreed with what Nicole had just said. She’s right. Moreover, Kyle and Maya
are grownups now, and they should have someone that they want to spend their lives with.
“I understand. I’ll keep an eye out,” he responded.
Nicole nodded. “I’ll keep an eye out too. If there’s a fine young man, let’s introduce him to Maya. And if
there’s a fine young woman, then we’ll introduce her to Kyle. We might be able to help them find
someone that would want to spend their lives with our kids.”
Looking at how confident she was, Evan simply grinned. “I would rather have them find that special
someone themselves like how we found each other. Although something happened in between, we still
fought through the storm to be together finally and found our own happiness in the end. You don’t have
to worry about what will happen to them in the future, Nicole. These experiences will mold them to be
better people and teach them to learn more about their feelings or what they really want.”
After listening to what Evan had said, Nicole pursed her lips. “The problem is not about me not wanting
them to experience things at their own pace, Mr. Evan. Other than Nina, they have no experience with
love at all. Don’t you think it’s too long of a time? I’m getting anxious.”
The moment Nina’s name was brought up, Evan’s expression turned grim. “I heard that there’s a new
guy in the office named Stephen, and he seems to be quite close with Nina.”
Stephen?
Nicole furrowed her brows. “Nina had just been through a nasty breakup. Could it really be possible for
her to move on to someone else that fast? We also don’t know what kind of person Stephen is. It will
be better for us to investigate him even further. We can’t let her get hurt ever again.”
“Don’t worry. I heard Nina had already ordered someone to investigate him. I’ll send out someone else
to find some more details about him.”
Nicole nodded as she burned Stephen’s name deep in her memory. She decided to visit the office
tomorrow so she could see what kind of person Stephen was.
Knock knock.
There was a knock on the door, and a maid came to inform them their dinner was ready.
Everyone was already at the table. While they were having their dinner, Juan was hesitant about telling
his parents about Sally coming over the next day. However, since he had already agreed to her
request, he had no other choice but to tell them.
“Mommy, Daddy, I have something to tell you both.”
“What is it?” Nicole asked. Evan also turned to look at him.
After pondering for a moment, he continued, “Do you remember that Grandma had introduced
someone to me before, Mommy? We’ve been enjoying each other’s company a lot, so I have decided
to bring her back to meet with you all. Will you both be free tomorrow?”
Hearing this, Nicole was delighted to know that her son would bring his girlfriend back tomorrow for a
visit.
“Of course we will be free tomorrow,” she exclaimed.
She never would have thought Juan would really get along with the person Sophia had introduced him
to.
Since she had such a keen eye for this, should I ask her to introduce some people to the other children
too?
“I already have an appointment with an important client tomorrow. I don’t think I can….”
As Evan hesitated, Nicole quickly demanded, “Why don’t you change your schedule and move it to the
evening? Juan is bringing over his girlfriend, so this is important. It would be inappropriate for you to
not be around as it would seem like we don’t care about her.”
After a quick consideration, Evan agreed with what Nicole said. While he was thinking of what time he
should reschedule for the client’s appointment, Juan suddenly said, “You don’t have to change the time
of your appointment, Daddy. She’s just coming over to have a meal with us. It’s enough with only
Mommy around.”
“This is the first time you have ever brought a girlfriend home, Juan. You don’t have to worry. I will be
there too. I want to see what my sister-in-law looks like,” Maya said.
