Chapter 2


    Five yearster.


    At Y City’s airport.


    Nicole’s face waspletely covered behind a pair of shades and a face mask. In fact, she was so


    wrapped up that she resembled a mummy.


    She wondered whether the man who wanted to “give it back to her a hundredfold” had continued


    searching high and low for her over the past five years.


    If it weren’t to save a certain someone, she would never risking back.


    She dragged her suitcase forward with a pounding heart, and her pace quickened the more she


    walked. Meanwhile, the three little ones behind her tagged along as they tried to match her pace with


    their stubby legs.


    Suddenly, a high-pitched voice sounded loud and clear behind her, “Mommy, you’re walking too fast.


    I’m getting hungry just trying to keep up! I feel like eating chocte, cupcakes, French toast, and -”


    “Shhh…” Nicole looked back and put a finger to her lips, afraid that they might attract too much


    attention – unwanted attention.


    The voice belonged to a girl named Maya. She was Nicole’s youngest child and a glutton through and


    through.


    “Behave, Maya. Mommy will bring you to get some dessertter, okay?”


    Maya’s eyes lit up, and she nodded enthusiastically.


    Standing beside her was Nina, who was a carbon copy of Maya. She shook her head in an adult-like


    manner and heaved a deep sigh. “If you keep eating this much, you’ll be a fat pig! We should take


    care of our body, Maya.”


    Maya turned to nce unhappily at Nina. “Don’t say it like you don’t eat!”


    “That’s called tasting. I only have one bite!”


    “One bite still counts!”


    “No, it doesn’t!”


    “Yes, it does!”


    “No, it doesn’t! Tell her, Juan!”


    Nina couldn’t take it anymore and seek for her brother’s help.


    Abruptly being put in a tough spot, Juan scratched his head, unsure of what to do.


    Since Nina and Maya were both his sisters, so he didn’t know who he should help.


    “I think… you’re both right!”


    Hearing his reply, both Nina and Maya rolled their eyes at Juan and harrumphed loudly before storming


    ahead.


    “Alright, that’s enough now, kids. Come on.”


    Nicole gently rubbed Juan’s head, to which he nodded and trailed after her.


    Among the three, Maya was the smallest in size. Fuming and stomping forward without looking where


    she was going, she identally bumped against a woman’s leg and fell back onto the floor.


    “What the hell? Are you blind?”


    Maya looked up at the woman who looked like she wanted to bite her head off.

    Thisdy is so fierce.


    “Maya! Are you okay?”


    Seeing her sister being knocked down, Nina rushed forward and helped Maya up. Then, she gave the


    woman a once-over.


    Although the woman was very beautiful, she couldn’t hold a candle to their mother.


    Besides, Nina didn’t like how rude she was, and it was clearly written all over her face.


    “Why are you looking at me like that? Apologize!” The woman yelled at Nina.


    “I’m sorry, ma’am!” Maya said in her cute voice and looked at the woman withrge eyes that gleamed


    with sincerity.


    Nina, on the other hand, gave her little sister a t stare. What is Maya doing? Why did she apologize!


    “You too! Apologize to me!” The woman ordered Nina in a superior tone.


    However, Nina stared unflinchingly at her and stood there without saying a word.


    “What’s going on?”


    “What’s wrong?”


    A man and a woman’s voice sounded in unison.


    One of the voices belonged to Nicole, while the other…


    The other voice sounded rather familiar to Nicole, so she instinctively looked up, and her heart almost


    stopped. She hastily bowed her head, cursing vehemently in her heart.


    It’s that man from five years ago! Freakin’ Evan Seet!


    What a pathetically small world! I can’t believe I ran into him the second I step foot in this country!
