Chapter 247


    “Nicole’s busy,” Evan answered. “Tell the kitchen staff to prepare lunch for the kids.”


    “Alright.”


    The moment Sylphiette turned away, the smile on her face melted into an ugly scowl.


    How dare she use the kids to get closer to Evan!


    Looks like it’s time to unleash my ns…


    She took out her phone and dialed a number.


    “Did you find that person?”


    “Don’t worry, I won’t disappoint you.”


    “Very good. Stand by for further instructions.”


    “Understood.”


    She smirked after hanging up the phone.


    I hope you’ll like my little ‘gift’, Nicole!


    The first thing Nicole saw when she returned to Rose Garden was the kids ying in the yard.


    Noticing her presence, Maya toddled over to her happily.


    “Mommy! Mommy!” Maya cooed as she rushed forward on her short, pudgy legs.


    Nicole bent down and pulled her into a hug while stroking Maya’s fat belly with a smile. “What did you


    eat for lunch?”


    “We had a feast! There was steak and cold-cut tters and…” Maya paused, pointing at Evan’s room.


    “Daddy told the witch to cook for us!” she whispered.


    “Hm? Where’s Uncle Davin?” Nicole asked.


    Maya shook her head. “Daddy went to pick us up from school!”


    Nicole was surprised. Wasn’t Davin supposed to be the one picking up the kids? Why did Evan take his


    ce?


    Suddenly, Evan walked out from his room and red at her.


    Nicole stood up immediately and greeted him politely. “Good afternoon, Mr. Seet.”


    Evan studied her from head to toe before asking, “Are you so busy that you don’t even have time for


    the kids?”


    It was the first day of operations for the clinic, and Nicole was indeed swamped with work.


    She froze for a second. “I’ll try my best to make time for the kids. I underestimated the number of


    patients today.”


    Evan raised an eyebrow in surprise. So she was busy with matters at the clinic? How did it open so


    fast?

    At least she’s not getting herself involved in shady business…


    His expression softened. “Remember, the kidse first. Find someone to look after them if you’re too


    busy.”


    Nicole nodded. “Understood, Mr. Seet. Thank you for taking care of Maya and Nina.”


    “…”


    Evan fell silent, not knowing how to continue the conversation. Her politeness made him


    ufortable.


    Why did her attitude change so much overnight?


    Something smells fishy…


    He decided to take the initiative to find out what tricks she had up her sleeve and the reason for her


    sudden change in attitude.


    I’ll uncover the truth about you sooner orter, Nicole Lane!


    Nicole decided to close the clinic at 4 P.M. in order to trante documents for Evan.


    She drove to the kids’ kindergarten and fetched the kids home.


    After dropping them off in the rear house, she provided them with toys to y with and reminded them


    once again to abstain from fighting.


    “Don’t worry, Mommy! I won’t bite Nina anymore.”


    “I promise I won’t scratch Maya’s face anymore!”


    “Good girls!” Nicole praised. “Juan, watch them for me. Confiscate their things if they start a fight.”


    Nina pulled her makeup kit close to her while Maya threw herself onto the table to hide her snacks from


    Juan.


    “Okay, Mommy!” the kids chirped.


    Nicole ran over to Evan’s study room after that.


    Evan had nned to berate her for beingte, but he turned out to be the tardy one in the end.


    Nicole stood up the moment he entered the room and greeted him politely. “Good afternoon, Mr. Seet.”
