Chapter 757
Nicole took a nce at the dish then red at Evan with a straight face.

“Mr. Seet, everything about me has got nothing to do with you, be it any daily affairs or life and death
matters. You don’t have to do this. By the way, please don’t intervene in my business as well as any
happenings at the clinic. You can leave this dish with me now and go.”
Evan was quiet.
I didn’t expect her to be so heartless. She seems very firm in her decision to cut ties with me.
He then rebutted with a white lie, “Don’t be so full of yourself. I just don’t want my children to suffer under
your care. Hence, I’m trying to take care of you, for their sake. If yourpany goes bankrupt and the
clinic is not doing well, I’m worried that my children will starve. Who knows if you’ll sell them off for
money?”
Nicole could not answer him back.
His words reminded her of the recent devastating situation that she was facing; a poorly runpany
and a deserted clinic.
Is he rubbing salt on my wounds, trying to mock me whenever he gets a chance to?
All of a sudden, she felt that her internal injuries had gotten worse.
Even if I have no ie, I wouldn’t let my children suffer with me, let alone selling them off! Nicole
thought that he bore malice towards her.
This is so annoying.
Without showing weakness, Nicole then retorted, “Don’t you worry. Soon, I’ll turn things around and
ensure that both Lane Corporation and the clinic will flourish and prosper. I guarantee that the four of
them will have more than enough money to spend.”
Some things never change. This woman is still as stubborn as ever. I’d like to see how she’s going to
achieve what she’s just said.
Evan narrowed his eyes and had no intention to continue this topic with her.
He recalled his purpose of visiting her and said seriously, “Nicole, if I ever find out that you were insulting
me again, I’ll give you a taste of your own medicine.”
Seems like the person who brought a staff from Seet Group to the clinic did pass the message back to
Evan. Oh well, let it be then. I’m not afraid that he knows I scolded him.
“If you don’t want me to say anything bad about you, then please remember your status as a married
man and leave me alone. Keep your distance and be a stranger. Otherwise, be prepared to hear harsher
words from me.”
A married man.
Coldness shed through his deep eyes. He felt a sharp de poke through his heart. Choosing to
remain silent, he turned away and left.
When he got downstairs, Maya, who wanted to ask him about hiring a gourmet specialist, decided to
drop that topic when she saw his grim face.
Did Daddy and Mommy fight?
Poor me, when can I ever have a happy family?
Maya walked back to her room. Her little body looked exceptionally lonely and sad.
On his way driving back from Imperial Garden, all that was ying in Evan’s mind was his disappointing
conversation with Nicole.
Does she intend to keep a distance from me? Does she really want me to leave her alone?
Every word she spoke jabbed at his heart painfully.
If this is her true intention, should I then oblige?
Since that day, Evan had not seen Nicole for half a month.
He numbed himself by upying all of his time with work. Each day, he would get back to the Hillside
Vi around midnight afterpleting all the work for Seet Group.
Whenever he sat in his study room alone, a clear figure would always pop up in his mind. The same
face, name, and figure that was impossible to forget or ignore.
“Nicole, have you gotten used to the days without me disturbing you? Are you happy?”
He mumbled to himself. Taking out his phone, he scrolled to her name, and recalled their conversations.
Each scene shed through his mind, ying like a movie.
His lips curled up. Sitting quietly in his study and reminiscing his times with Nicole had be the
happiest moment of his day. However, what came after a short and sweet shback was an attack of
bitter memory, which would usually linger throughout the night.
