Chapter 561


    The three kids nodded at her solemnly.


    Just then, Yoda brought Maya back. He did not enter the room nor did he spare a nce at Nicole.


    Wearing a poker-faced expression, he handed Maya to her and left.


    Nicole was hit by a pang of sadness in her heart when she saw him leaving.


    She did not tell him the truth just because she wanted to perfect her acting. Also, she thought Yoda


    would be able to see through her acting when time passed.


    It was not her intention to lie to him at all!


    Perhaps, Yoda had lost some of hismon sense as he was simply too worried about her. He totally


    believed she had really lost her mind because he trusted and cared about her too much.


    Because of that, his anxiety and worry got the better of his logical sense.


    Nicole muttered under her breath, “Are you too dumb to see through my acting or my acting skill is just


    too good?”


    “Nicole, what did you just say?”


    “Nothing.”


    With a bitter smile, Nicole carried Maya back to the room.


    Back in his room, Yoday on the bed thinking about how Nicole had been pretending to be an idiot all


    this while.


    The moment he saw how Nicole was reduced to a mere shadow of her old self, he was both shocked


    and heartbroken.


    He found it hard to breathe as though his heart was being squeezed by an invisiblerge hand.


    “Yes, you’ve sessfully shown how great an actress you can be. But, how could you fool me, out of


    everyone else? Don’t you know that I’ve been worrying about you a lot?”


    During the past few days, there was not a moment he had not tried toe up with ways to cure her


    condition.


    Suddenly, he thought of a piece of advice he received some time before this – stay away from good-


    looking women because the more beautiful they were, the better a liar they were.


    Seems like I have to remain rational whenever I deal with Nicole in the future.


    She’s a good-looking woman and she’s also great liar.


    The next morning, Maya heard amotion from outside their room when she was about to gob


    her hair.


    Juan threw Nicole a curious nce. “Mommy, would you please check who’s that?”


    Nicole took a peek at the corridor outside through the window. When she saw it was Daphne, she


    immediately reminded the kids. “The bad woman is here. Look, Mommy is going to act like an idiot


    again, so please remember not to blow my cover!”


    It’s the bad woman!


    It’s Daphne!


    Ha! She’s here at just the right time! Let’s see how I’m going to teach her a lesson!


    “Mommy, don’t worry because we will protect you!”


    Just then, Daphne walked into the room together with two maids. She nced at Nicole who was


    staring nkly ahead on the bed, and then at the kids sitting around her.

    “Early this morning I was told that Levant’s brought several kids to stay here. Seems like the


    information is urate then.”


    Are those kids rted to Levant? Could they be the illegitimate children he has with Nicole?


    “Who are you kids?” Looking disgusted, Daphne yelled at the kids impatiently.


    Juan cast a contemptuous nce at her before introducing himself, “People who know me call me


    Satan.”


    Daphne shot him a supercilious nce in response. I’m sure this boy isn’t Levant’s kid because Levant


    won’t have a child as frivolous as this boy!


    She turned to Kyle instead. “What’s your name?”


    Maintaining an impassive face, Kyle nced around and asked slyly, “Is anyone talking to me?”


    Nina, whose arms were crossed in front of her chest in a smug manner, replied, “Nope. But I just heard


    a dog barking somewhere!”


    “How dare you!” I can’t believe that rascal just referred to me as a dog!


    She moved her eyes which were brimming with fury past the three kids and thennded on Maya.


    Blinking her eyes which sparkled like the stars, Maya looked harmless and adorable.


    “Where are you from?”


    Maya pondered over her question and answered with a wide grin, “From the ne.”


    Daphne snorted impatiently. “I mean, where’s your home?”


    “My home is at my hometown.” Maya stuck out her tongue and answered matter-of-factly.


    Daphne was left speechless. Are these kids a bunch of idiots?


    Daphne examined the kids thoroughly and came to the conclusion that there was something wrong


    with their minds.


    “Are they your kids?” She turned around and aimed that question at Nicole.


    Yet, Nicole pretended she did not understand her question by staring at the ceiling dazedly in silence.


    As Daphne failed to get Nicole’s attention, she strode forward and got nearer to her.


    “Hey, are they your kids?”


    Nicole nodded at her, but quickly shook her head again and started giggling foolishly at her.


    You wanna know the answer? What a shame, because I’m not telling you!


    “Is Levant their father?”


    Damn it. So, this is the reason why she came to visit so early in the morning. I can’t believe she’s


    having suspicion of me having kids with Levant before. Come on! All I can say is that she certainly has


    a very fertile imagination.


    Nicole ignored her question. In a thick-witted manner, she started fiddling with her fingers and reciting


    random numbers.


    “One, two, five, three…”
