Chapter 1019
While Nicole was lost in thought, the maid outside the study room suddenly reported, “Mr. Seet, Ma’am
is here.”
“Let’s go.”
“Alright.”
They went down the stairs and headed to the dining room together.
Meanwhile, Sophia was wandering around the room in deep anxiety.
Upon seeing them, she immediately walked towards Evan. She had been so worried about him.
“Mom, I’m fine. It’s just a small wound.”
Sophia nced up at Nicole withplicated emotion.
She understood that Nicole hadn’t intended to hurt him. She only behaved in that way because of the
Hallucinogen. However, taking into ount the current state of her condition, it was dangerous to let
her stay by Evan’s side.
Her heart was in her mouth as she thought about that.
Nicole realized Sophia sang a different tune after the incident, but she could rte to thetter’s
attitude change. She was a mother as well, and she would want to keep her children safe from all
harm.
Therefore, she didn’t me her.
“Evan, why don’t you stay in Seet Residence for now? Your uncle wants to have a chat with you.”
Nicole agreed with her suggestion. If Evan stayed at the Seet Residence, he would not be harmed by
her at the very least.
However, Evan turned Sophia down without an ounce of hesitation. “Mom, I won’t stay in Seet
Residence. My home is wherever Nicole is.” he asserted.
“You…” Sophia sighed. She knew how stubborn he could be, so she didn’t push him.
Thoughtfully, Nicole said, “I think you should stay there for a few days. The kids are there too, and I
need some time to myself to focus on the acupuncture.”
“…”
Evan frowned at her words. “You need time to yourself? Am I an annoyance to you?” he asked.
“…” How was that possible? All she wanted to do was to protect him.
“Yes. I’m stuck with you every day, and things start to get boring. Have you not heard the saying that
absence makes the heart grow fond?” she replied.
“Listen to your wife, Evan, let’s just stay in Seet Residence for a few days,” Sophia chimed in.
Evan coldly sneered. “Absence makes the heart grow fond? To me, everything seems fonder right here
with you!”
“…”
It seemed like Evan had made up his mind. Sophia heaved a sigh, and Nicole said nothing more.
Nevertheless, she had an idea in her mind. The best way to keep him away from her was to quarrel
with him. If she deliberately found fault with everything he did, he definitely would not be able to stand
her. He would leave her alone for sure that way.
After sending Sophia off, she began the execution of her n.
Before going to bed, she suddenly wanted to have a ss of milk, so she yelled nastily at him, “Go and
get me a ss of milk!”
“…”
Evan narrowed his eyes. Although Nicole was a feistydy, he couldn’t recall a single time when she
had talked to him with such attitude. He was surprised to see her acting so pretentious.
“Sure, wait right here.”
Evan stood up and headed downstairs.
Nicole took a deep breath. Why was he smiling while walking out of the room? Shouldn’t he be mad
when I had talked to him with such a bad attitude?
Right when Nicole was pondering over Evan’s strange reaction, he returned with a ss of milk and
handed it over to her in a respectful manner.
“Mrs. Seet, here’s your milk.”
“…”
Nicole shot him a sideward look as she took over the ss and took a sip. Milk had literally never
tasted better.
She held herself back from taking another sip and spat out the milk suddenly. “Evan Seet, how dare
you serve me this terrible milk! What are you thinking? You are doing this on purpose, aren’t you?” she
yelled.Content (C) N?v/elDra/ma.Org.
“…”
Evan was stunned by her sudden change of attitude. Could it be the side effect of Hallucinogen? Is that
the reason why she is emotionally unstable?
He gazed at her patiently. “I’ll get you another ss.”
Unceremoniously, she handed the ss back to him while giving him a death stare.
