Chapter 395
Evan had made up his mind. Tomorrow would be the first day to start his pensation n”.
He would take Nicole and the children to wherever their hearts desired. Be it shopping or having fun,
what mattered most was that they were happy!
At noon, Evan went over to the Seet Residence to pick up his four children for school. Taking the
opportunity, Sophia enquired about his n to marry Nicole.
“Mom, we haven’t discussed this yet.”
“Dear son, this is a matter of utmost importance. Good things are hard toe by. What if something
happens again? Take this opportunity to perhaps register your marriage first. At least you’ll have the
certificate as proof…”
Evan’s gaze dimmed. He felt that Sophia was overthinking things. Casually, he echoed her sentiment
and took the children out.
Seeing them departing, Sophia felt an ominous premonition.
Hoping that nothing untoward might happen, she secretly prayed that everything would be fine. “Dear
God, please don’t let anything bad happen again!”
That evening.
Nicole nced at the time as she prepared to pick up Nina and Maya from the school.
Her phone suddenly rang.
It was Evan. He asked her to concentrate on her work for he would pick up the kids.
He reminded her not to stay back toote.
She had assured him not to worry, however, she had not taken her own words to heart.
After all, Evan’s morning press conference had created an extraordinary effect. Everyone from the
lower all the way to the upper echelon of the business world regarded her as the future mistress of the
Seet household.
Suddenly, there were countless representatives from bigpanies walking through the door, offering
to cooperate with the Lane Corporation.
However, some of thesepanies came to her, not for the purpose of cooperation, but rather merely
to be acquainted with her.
They hoped to use her as a stepping stone to build a business rtionship with the Seet Group.
For an entire afternoon, she was rendered busy beyond belief, affecting her actual work in the process.
Finally, as ast resort, she had to ce some people at the entrance to herpany just to politely
turn visitors away.
Just as she had finished her workload for the day, her cell phone rang repeatedly.
Upon a nce, it was Evan calling again.
Looking at her watch, she realized that she waste by an hour.
“Hey, all! I’ll be home soon. Right away!” Hurriedly, she packed up to go home.
“Be careful while driving. Dinner is ready and waiting. We’ll dine together when you get back.”
“Roger that.”
Nicole quickly tidied her messy desk, grabbed her bag, and rushed downstairs hastily.
Driving back to Summervale, the moment she opened the door, four delightful cubs pounced on her…
“Mommy, you’re back!”
“Mommy, I miss you!”
“Mommy, just now Maya sneaked some food that daddy had prepped from the kitchen!”
“…”
Nicole leaned over and picked up Maya, whose mouth was sttered with sauce.
“Oh Maya, what did you just eat?”
Maya shook her head vigorously.
Her mouth was tightly shut, as she refused to admit anything.
Feeling amused, Nicole stretched out her hand and pinched Maya’s chubby cheeks. Taking a piece of
paper napkin, she gently wiped it around Maya’s mouth, erasing the evidence of her shenanigans.
Surveying around, she did not see Evan. Hence she curiously asked the children, “Where’s your
daddy?”
“Daddy went out shopping. He’ll be back soon.”
Just as Kyle spoke, the door opened again.
Evan walked in,den with groceries in his hands.
“Daddy!”
The children perked up as their big piercing eyes stared straight at what he was carrying.
Just as how they had swarmed around Nicole as she walked through the door just now, they now
surged towards Evan in an instant.
Seeing the four eager children in front of him, Evanughingly handed each of them arge package
from the pile of things he was carrying.
The four kids happily rushed off to their corners enthusiastically, eager to unwrap their newly-acquired
gifts.
Maya gawked longingly at a big pack of exquisite snacks, her greedy eyes glittering with anticipation.

However, she did not spot any sweet dessert amongst the snacks.
When she asked, Evan told her that the tidbits he bought were healthy snacks to prevent weight gain.
From then on, he would monitor Maya’s snacking habit to ensure she only ate healthy and nutritious
snacks.
Blinking her big round eyes, she wondered if those snacks were delicious.
Can’t wait to tear open a packet to try.
Nina admired appreciatively the newest makeup set that she got. Turning to Evan, she politely said,
“Thank you.”
Those mere two words made Evan smile. This girl was the most adult-like of them all. Even though she
was now polite, she still kept her distance from him. However,pared to her previous hostile
attitude, this was way better. A huge improvement in our rtionship, methinks!
