Chapter 776


    “Well he seems rather dedicated about such a matter,” Evan remarked in a cial tone.


    “Evan, I don’t think that he’s going to let Nicole off that easily. Be careful! If he was able to cause Nicole


    to lose her memories, he’ll certainlye up with other ways! You should assign more guards to keep


    watch around Nicole to ensure her safety at all times.”


    “I’m fully aware of that.”


    After the call ended, Evan realized that he had the wrong impression of Levant.


    He had once thought that Levant was not making any moves. Now, it seemed like Levant had been


    working in the shadows.


    It was impossible to guard against people with ill intentions.


    It seemed like the best option avable was to assign people to guard Nicole at all times.


    With that thought in mind, he called Darius and Damien, telling them to halt their work and to make their


    way over to Imperial Garden to secretly protect Nicole instead.


    Just as the call ended, Nicole’s voice resounded from upstairs.


    “Evan, are you done with the fruit tter?”


    “Coming!”


    Evan ced the sliced fruits into a heart shape before cing some of Nicole’s favorite cheese onto the


    te. He then proceeded to bring the te upstairs.


    Wow! It’s heart-shaped! Nicole’s eyes widened at the sight of the fruit tter.


    “When did you learn how to do this?”


    Evan responded after a pause, “While I was studying overseas.”


    At the mention of his overseas studies, Nicole was reminded of Susan.


    Susan was Evan’s ssmate. Nicole wondered if Susan had received the chance to try Evan’s fruit


    tter in the past.


    At that, the straightforward Nicole asked him about it.


    “You couldn’t have possibly learned it because a pretty girl liked it, could you?”


    Evan was stunned into silence.


    He was stupefied by her question.


    However, upon regaining his senses, Evan decided to tease her. Therefore, he nodded fervently.


    Nicole then continued, “That pretty girl can’t be Susan, right?”


    Her second question not only stupefied him again, rather, it even brought him a headache.


    He shot Nicole an odd look. “Do you miss Susan? Is that why you’ve suddenly mentioned her?”


    Nicole was stunned by his question.


    Me? Missing Susan?


    That’s disgusting!


    Every time she thought about the miserable face that Susan had put on whenever she clung to Evan,


    Nicole felt frustration thrum in her veins.


    “I’ll never miss her. If anyone were to miss her, it’d be you.”


    Right then, Evan’s phone rang. A nce at the screen was enough to tell him that it was Susan.


    Immediately, Evan rejected the call.


    His swift reaction pleased Nicole. After ending her calls twice, the maid abruptly called out, “Mr. Seet,


    Susan has arrived. She’s said that she wants to meet you.”


    F*ck.


    Speak of the devil!


    Nicole had to resist the urge to smack the mouth that had just jinxed her.


    “Tell her to leave. I’m not free to meet with her.”


    Just as the words had escaped his mouth, the maid had a troubled expression on her face.


    She replied, “Mr. Seet, I’m afraid that Ms. Susan has already thought about that in advance. She has


    said that she has something important to talk to you about. If you’re not going to meet her, she’s decided


    to wait at the entrance of Imperial Garden until you’ve agreed to meet her.”


    I didn’t think that she would havee prepared.


    Instead of allowing her to remain a statue at the entrance, I might as well get rid of her by meeting her!


    Before Evan could say anything, Nicole voiced out, “Let here in.”


    The maid nced at Evan, who did not refute Nicole’s order.


    “Yes, Mr. Seet.”


    When Susan entered the living room, she saw Nicole and Evan walking down the stairs, hand in hand.


    The moment Susan caught sight of Evan, she straightened her back in excitement. However, upon


    remembering her aim for today’s visit, she quickly restrained herself.


    Politely, she greeted, “Evan. Ms. Lane.”


    “What is the reason for your visit?” Evan questioned.


    Susan froze for a second. “Evan, may I speak to you privately?”


    Nicole was at a loss for words.


    Susan’s request had surprised Nicole, and her face soon fell.

    Susan was like a jack-in-the-box to Nicole; she was full of unpleasant surprises. She did not want to


    interact with Susan any more than what was necessary, and she did not want Evan to interact much with


    her either.
