A Great Man
I should arrange for someone to keep an eye on her so that she won’t be able to do anything
unexpected that will put Mommy in danger. She’s like a timed bomb, and I don’t even know who she’s
going after. I need to investigate her background thoroughly. There must be something I can find.
On the following day, Nicole was getting busier ever since the hospital started operating. She gradually
immersed herself in the acupuncture business that she liked.
Seeing how energetic and motivated she was, Evan was happy for her.
That day, Nicole was gobbling everything up during breakfast, and Evan advised her to slow down.
Nicole took a hurried glance at the watch on her wrist. She wanted to arrive at work as early as
possible to treat her patients in time and not neglect any patients.
“But still, you have to eat regularly.”
“I’m full now. I don’t need to eat that much.”
Nicole took a couple of bites of the sandwich and a few sips of the milk. She then rushed out with her
briefcase in hand.
Maya sighed after witnessing that scene. “Daddy, Mommy is unstoppable now. Nothing can stop her.”
“She had spent way too much time on dealing with her own family affairs and taking care of us… Now
that she has found something that she is passionate about, of course she will devote herself to it. We
should support her.”
Maya nodded. “Daddy, I do support Mommy. We all do. But I hope you won’t be worried about her too
much.”
“Don’t worry. I will take good care of your mother. If she runs away before finishing her meals again, I’ll
make sure to feed her.”
“Wow. Daddy, you’re pampering Mommy so much! I think you’re the best husband out there!”
Maya was looking at him with admiration and gave him a thumbs up. Evan shot her a meaningful smile.
“Maya, you should find someone to pamper you too. I remember that you used to say you were jealous
of your mother, and you wanted to find a boyfriend like me. Do you remember that?”
Maya pondered a moment before nodding.
She did say something like that when she was a child.
Back then, Evan would not allow them to speak loudly when their mother was still sleeping.
During winter, Evan would not wake Nicole up when he sent them to school because the weather
outside was too cold. She could tell Evan loved Nicole a lot, and that was why she said she wanted to
find a boyfriend like him, or maybe someone that was even better than him.
However, she knew how difficult it was for her to look for a man that was as good as her father, let
alone find a man that was better than him. She was afraid that she would hurt herself by running into a
scumbag in return, just like Nina.
“Daddy, I don’t want to get a boyfriend yet.”
“Why?”
“I think it’s way too difficult to find the right man, and I might run into a scumbag instead. That’s why I
think it’s the safest for me to stay single.”
“Maya, that’s not true. There are still plenty of decent men out there. You will find your right one.”
Meanwhile, Nina, who was walking down the stairs and heading to the dining hall, overheard Evan and
Maya talking about finding a boyfriend, and she stopped in her tracks.
She heard Maya saying, “Daddy, I’m not confident in myself, especially after seeing what happened to
Nina. I’m a bit scared now. Chris had been sweet to Nina all this while, yet he cheated on her. Men are
complicated, and I don’t think I’ll be able to pick a decent man.”
Evan’s expression darkened a little after he heard Chris’ name.
“Chris… He’s a great man.”
What?
Maya thought she heard it wrong. “Daddy, he cheated on Nina by marrying another woman. How is he
a great man?”
