Chapter 239


    However, she couldn’t control what Evan wanted to do.


    Even if she were upset with the fact that he wanted Nicole and the kids to wait for him in his study,


    there was nothing she could say.


    Should I say that I forbid it? Or show my displeasure?


    But what if Evan minds? She was worried that he might think she was making a fuss over nothing and


    end up thinking less of her.


    Therefore, she felt it was better to work on Nicole instead.


    As she turned to look at Nicole and the children, a scheme hatched in her mind.


    After leaving for a moment, she returned smiling with a tray of cut fruits.


    “Nicole, I prepared some fruits for the children.”


    After that, she ced the fruits on the table and shot a nce at the children.


    Her sudden change in attitude caught Nicole by surprise.


    After giving it some thought, Nicole remembered that this hypocrite had learned all her skills from the


    master herself, Sylvia. Therefore, her ability to fake her emotions was simply amazing.


    Property belongs to N?vel(D)r/ama.Org.


    Is she using her skills to put on an act again?


    But Evan isn’t here. So what is she pretending for?


    The children were not tempted by the te of fruits except for Maya, who stared at them without


    blinking as if she was a hungry wolf.


    All she could think of was eating them.


    Given how hungry she looked, it even made Nina feel embarrassed as she tugged at Maya.


    “We will have a tummy ache if we eat anything given by the witch.”


    Maya turned around and looked at Nina, not sure if she was to be believed.


    Sylphiette sneered as she took a piece of orange and ate it in a tantalizing manner.


    It didn’t matter if the children ate the fruits or not because that wasn’t her purpose. Instead, she had a


    more important objective.


    When Maya saw how much Sylphiette was enjoying the orange, she looked like a hungry kitten. When


    Nicole saw Maya’s expression, she was worried that she might cry out of desperation for the fruit.


    Therefore, she brought the children back to the rear house.


    “y in the room for a while. Mommy will be back soon to make you dinner.”


    Kyle and Juan nodded as they didn’t want to stay with the witch anyway. It was a lot more fun to


    practice their hacking skills instead.


    As for Nina, she took out her cosmetic case and started to y. However, when Maya saw the snacks


    in front of her, she couldn’t help but sigh. Why are there no fruits? Tomorrow, I’ll get Mommy to buy the


    biggest and sweetest oranges there are.


    When Nicole returned to the house and was about to enter the study, she heard Sylphietteining


    to Evan.


    “Nicole forbade the children from eating the fruits I prepared and took them away on purpose. Evan, I


    really want to treat the children well and don’t want to feel too distant from them. After all, when we’re


    together next time, I would be the one taking care of Kyle and Juan. Nicole is just making things


    difficult.”


    “Evan, it seems Nicole likes you, why don’t I leave and you can be together.”


    Just as she spoke, she wiped the tears of her cheeks pitifully.


    At that moment, Nicole understood why the hypocrite had prepared the fruits. It was to give her an


    excuse toin.


    However, she wanted to hear how Evan would respond.


    She was curious to know who he liked and whether he would let Sylphiette leave.


    In truth, she knew the answer deep down but still held up hope and wanted to hear him say it.


    Finally, Evan started speaking in his deep voice.


    “Stop imagining things. You know how much I care about our rtionship from then. So, we will be


    together. Nicole is just the mother of my children. She and I…”


    That woman has been obsessed with getting together with me by hook or by crook. How is it possible


    that I fall for an unscrupulous woman like that?


    No… never.


    After a slight hesitation, he continued, “…we, don’t have feelings for each other. I will never fall for her.”


    “Evan, I knew it. You are really loyal.”


    Sylphiette gazed at Evan passionately with her misty eyes. It made her looked exceptionally


    vulnerable.


    Meanwhile, Evan let out a slight grin when he recalled how the silly girl loved to cry then. Now, that she


    was all grown up, she was still the same crybaby.


    Back then, he had told her that he would always protect her. Because of that, he would never betray


    Sylphiette.
