Chapter 789


    As he showed no signs of conceding defeat, Sophia made herself clear and forbade him from procuring


    the aid of others, including Evan. As long as she was conscious of the presence of a third party, she


    would void her promise.


    Without a second thought, Davin nodded and handed over the things that had been bestowed upon him


    by the family. Staring at Sophia and Evan, he asked rhetorically, “I don’t have anything else with me. Is it


    necessary for me to leave my phone behind?”


    “You’re allowed to keep your phone and I’ll let you spend another night at home. You will be banished


    from home tomorrow.”


    “Alright! That’s a deal!”


    After they came to a unanimous agreement, Davin dashed upstairs, rushing into the study room, as he


    started to n his ambitious scheme for the uing three months.


    Sophia warned Evan and Nicole to stay out of Davin’s way. She forbade them from helping her insolent


    son because she had wanted to teach him a lesson.


    No one gets to get their way around others in life for an eternity! It’s time for him to learn his lesson!


    Evan and Nicole nodded.

    Evan uttered, “Mom, I think that this is a great opportunity to train Davin.”


    “You’re right. It’s time for him to encounter some hardships in life. I can’t possibly allow him to live a


    carefree life as the heir of a wealthy family for his entire life.”


    As soon as they wrapped up the conversation revolving around Davin, Sophia asked Evan and Nicole,


    “When are you guys going to get married?”


    Nicole was stunned by her soon-to-be mother-inw’s words. She had intended to discuss their marriage


    with her father, but her father was imprisoned by Levant and Murphy. Therefore, she had no choice but


    to put it on hold for the time being.


    Taking the current condition of Seet Group into consideration, Evan thought that it would be better to put


    their wedding ceremony on hold for the time being, for the Seet family’s sake.


    As soon as he made it through the hardships that thepany had encountered, he would conduct a


    lavish and one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony.


    Even though he had everything sorted out in his mind, he decided to acquire Nicole’s consent, instead of


    making the call on her behalf.


    “Nicole, what do you think?”


    After a few seconds, Nicole suggested, “Shall we put the wedding ceremony on hold for the time being?


    The clinic and Lane Corporation are about to get on the right track. I believe that I should focus on my


    career as of now.”


    She dared not tell Evan that her father had been taken into custody by Levant and Murphy.


    To be precise, she was afraid of getting him involved because Levant had warned her of the


    consequences beforehand. He would put her father’s life at stake should she have gotten Evan involved.


    Nicole’s suggestion was spot on. Thus, Evan nodded in return because he had the same thing on his


    mind.


    He assured, “Let’s put it on hold for the time being. Once we’re ready to take our rtionship to the next


    level, I’ll definitely hold a one-of-a-kind wedding ceremony for our marriage!”


    She responded with a bright grin on her face, yet she had mixed feelings deep down because there were


    a lot of uncertainties awaiting her. Nicole couldn’t be sure if she could rescue her father soon. Even if she


    managed to rescue her father, she was afraid that Levant would resort to other brutal acts in the future.


    There wasn’t anything that Sophia could do about it since the duo had already made up their minds.


    Sighing, she prayed that things would turn out just fine at the end of the day.


    She decided to take their opinions into consideration since they were talking about their wedding


    ceremony.


    “Sure. We’ll do as both of you have suggested.”


    “Thanks, Mom.”


    “Thanks, Sophia.”


    In the afternoon, Evan and Nicole headed over to their children’s school to pick them up. Their children


    were surprised and found it odd that their parents had shown up together.


    Nina asked curiously, “Mommy, aren’t you busy today?”


    Simrly, Maya cast a confused gaze at Evan and asked, “Daddy, what about you?”


    Looking up and down with his abysmal pair of eyes, Juan queried, “What a surprise! Why are the both of


    you here to pick us up together?”


    Evan told them, “The gourmet specialist that we have hired has arrived. We’ll head over to pay her a visit


    together.”


    Maya jumped for joy at the mention of the great news. Consequently, she got careless as she staggered


    to her feet and fell to the ground.


    Rushing over to help her daughter up, Nicole asked concernedly, “Maya, are you okay?”


    Maya stuck her tongue out in a sheepish manner as she shook her head, indicating that she was fine.


    “I think that Maya is too happy. Look at her pair of gleaming eyes. She’s behaving as though she has


    spotted a box of her favorite sweets.”


    Maya’s chubby cheeks flushed with embarrassment. Giggling, she covered her eyes and avoided the


    others’ gazes.
