A Slow Breakfast
Nicole was a little speechless as she looked at the food in front of her. “I have to eat all of these?”
“Yes. Not only that, but you should also eat slowly and make sure you chew before you swallow.”
Eat slowly? I’m in a hurry here!
After taking a look at her watch, Nicole went and gobbled down the food after the first few bites.
“Mrs. Seet, do you not understand what eating slowly means?”
“I do, but I don’t see the point since they’re going to end up in the stomach anyway.”
“Mommy, it’s bad to eat like that. You better eat slowly,” said Maya.
Nicole was about to argue when Evan took the fork and knife away from her. He then cut her steak into
small pieces and fed it to her.
Staring at the steak in front of her, Nicole was stunned for a few seconds before she opened her mouth
and took it.
“Chew slowly,” said Evan.
“I’ll do it myself. I—”
“No need. I’ll feed you,” Evan insisted and held on to the fork and knife.
At that point, Nicole had no choice but to let Evan have his way, and she ate the food piece by piece.
He would even reprimand her and ask her to slow down when he noticed that she swallowed without
chewing. His tone, however, made her feel as though he was treating her like how he was treating Joy.
I’m his wife, yet somehow I feel more like his daughter at this moment!
In the end, she finished her breakfast one bite at a time.
The whole thing took her half an hour, which felt like a luxury to her. With that said, she made a
promise to herself to wake up earlier the next day so that she could make time to eat her food slowly.
“I’m all done. Can I go to the hospital now?”
“Yes, go ahead. Be careful on your way.”
Nicole nodded, grabbed her bag, and left like the wind.
Nina turned to look at her father after watching her mother leave, and she could not help but feel
envious of them.
“Daddy, you’re so nice to Mommy.”
“Nina, you seem much better lately. I believe that you’ll find your own happiness in the future. You will
surely meet someone who treats you well and treasures you one day.”
Evan knew that Nina needed the encouragement, as she had hurt herself in love before.
Meanwhile, Nina nodded at his words and said, “Daddy, I will. I’ll return to being the proud Nina, who
always talks back and says you’re biased.”
“Yes. That’s my daughter. Remember, no matter what, you should never compromise or cave in the
face of obstacles. You can never lose the will to fight, understand?”
“Yes, I got it. Daddy, I’m off to work, then.”
“Okay.”
As he watched Nina walk out of the living room with confidence, Evan felt comforted. He felt as though
the once proud princess had returned.
Nina, there’s no rainbow without rain. Cheers!
Meanwhile, in Seet Group, Juan was all caught up in a project report he had just received.
Suddenly, his phone rang.
The call brought him news that Sally had gone to Nicole’s hospital to help again.
Juan was worried. What is she up to? Is Mommy in danger?
With that thought, he quickly got up as he wanted to rush over as soon as possible. He had only taken
a few steps when he remembered what Kyle said about how he wanted to test Sally out and see if she
was indeed innocent.
It occurred to Juan then that the current situation was a perfect opportunity for Kyle to do so.
Thus, he went ahead and told Kyle about the news. “Are you going over or not? That girl’s not simple.
You should be careful,” said Juan.
Kyle pondered for a moment before he looked up at him and said, “I’ll go.”
As Juan watched Kyle leave, he was curious about what would happen between the cold and serious
Kyle and the sharp-tongued Sally with all sorts of tricks up her sleeve.
Should I go and have a look?
