Chapter 1041


    Evan didn’t reply.


    Evan’s sharp eyes caught Nicole digging her fingernails into her flesh. He also saw her eyes glowing


    with endless anticipation and excitement, which got him to think that he should find a way to let Nicole


    see the kids.


    “I got it. You and Kyle should go to bed soon as well.”


    “Okay, daddy. We will.”


    After hanging up, Evan got up to walk up the stairs. He was walking past Nicole when she suddenly


    asked, “Evan, do you really have amnesia? How do you still remember the kids?”


    A chill ran down Evan’s spine. Should I confess now and tell her that I never had amnesia? No! I still


    need an excuse to prevent Nicole from checking my pulse. She will stay by my side as long as she


    doesn’t check my pulse and figures out that I was never poisoned.


    “My parents told me that they are my kids, and there is no way my parents would lie to me,” informed


    Evan before he continued walking up the stairs.


    Nicole didn’tment on that.


    Oh, no wonder. thought Nicole. She watched his back as he walked up the stairs, and a hint of sorrow


    shed past her eyes.


    Evan didn’t want Nicole secretly checking his pulse at night and realizing that he wasn’t sick. Hence, he


    didn’t share a room with her. Instead, he got Nicole to sleep in the room beside his.


    Nicole tossed and turned at night. She couldn’t sleep and kept wondering, Is Evan asleep? Should I


    sneak in and check his pulse?


    Evan was having an equally hard time falling asleep. Does Nicole need anyone to take care of her at


    night? Her body is weak. Should I go check on her?


    The two lovebirds deliberated for a while before they got out of their bed at almost the same time. They


    both wanted to go check on the other.


    When they got out of their rooms, they saw each other sneaking out. Their eyes met, and that got them


    frozen on the spot.


    Nicole’s heart thumped fast when she saw Evan there. Who would’ve thought that Evan is still awake


    at this hour? Good thing I hesitated and came outte. It would’ve been so awkward if he caught me


    sneaking into his room.


    Evan stared at Nicole. He was observant and noticed that she was cautious and tiptoeing earlier. She


    seems agile, so her body should be fine. Why was she sneaking around, though? What was she going


    to do?


    “You haven’t gone to bed?” asked Evan after they stared into each other’s eyes for a while.


    Nicole deliberated before lying, “I can’t sleep, s-so I came out to go for a walk.”


    Evan could tell that she was lying. He didn’t know what she was nning, but he didn’t push it


    either. Well, I can’t sleep either, so I’ll just go for a walk with her, and we can chat.


    “I can’t sleep either. The moon’s beautiful tonight and it’s a great time for a walk. Let’s go together.”


    Nicole didn’t reply.


    She simply nodded and followed him down the stairs.


    When they reached the ground floor, Nicole noticed that the sky was pitch ck. She could forget


    about seeing the moon because even the stars were nowhere to be seen. At that moment, Nicole was


    truly tempted to diss, “Mr. Seet, where’s the beautiful moon you promised?” Naturally, Nicole didn’t


    actually say anything aloud.


    Evan looked at the pitch ck sky and suddenly felt awkward. He forced himself to say, “The breeze is


    nice tonight.”


    Nicole put on a fake smile on.


    The weather is freezing tonight, and the breeze only made things worse. Yet, he’s calling it nice?


    Nicole instinctively rubbed her hands and breathed out on them upon thinking that. A secondter, a


    pair of warm hands draped a coat over her shoulders.


    Nicole was stunned. Didn’t Evan lose his memory? Is he instinctively being so sweet to me?


    It had been a while since Nicole was spoiled like that, and a warm sensation engulfed her heart.


    N?velDrama.Org owns this.


    “Evan, what were you poisoned with?”


    “I forgot. I have amnesia, remember?” replied Evan before he brushed past it. Both his amnesia and


    the poison were faked, so he didn’t want to dwell on that topic.


    Nicole didn’t say anything.


    Evan broke the silence when he saw how quiet Nicole was being.


    “You im to be my wife. Can you tell me what happened between us? Maybe that’ll trigger my


    memory.”


    “Sure. We met at The Passion bar. No, wait, that is not urate. We first met at the Rose Garden. I


    was just a kid at the time…”


    The two of them reminisced in their past as they strolled around, and happiness glowed in Evan’s eyes.


    It had been two years, and he had fantasized countless times about how he would walk with Nicole and


    talk about their past together. My dream finally came true.


    “… You had been nice to me ever since I was a kid. After that, I had to return to the Lane family, and


    you had to go back to the Seet family. We lost touch because of that. The next time we met was at the


    Passion bar. I was drunk at the time, and I mistook you as a male escort…”


    Nicole turned to Evan when she mentioned male escort. She was going to skip that part, but Evan


    spoke up suddenly and asked, “Hold on, you mistook me as a male escort?”


    Nicole nodded. That was what happened. After that night of passion, they were blessed with four


    adorable yet naughty kids.


    Evan recalled that beautiful night when he smelled Nicole’s perfume. His dark eyes burned with hints of


    lust before he paused and demanded, “How could I possibly have been mistaken as a male escort?


    You should know that lyinges with a price!”


    After saying his piece, Evan dragged Nicole into his arms and kissed her lips eagerly.


    Evan sighed internally. My gosh, Evan Seet. You’ve lived to see the day you lie just to get a kiss.


    Forgive me, Nicole. I really can’t find another excuse. This is the only way I can hold you in my arms.


    Nicole’s eyes bulged. T-this kiss is way too spontaneous!


    Nicole’s mind ran wild, but she suddenly realized that something was off. Evan was supposed to be


    poisoned and on the verge of dying. How is he still strong enough to drag me into his arms?


    Nicole reached out to try to check his pulse. Evan noticed that soon enough, and he pushed her away


    gently.


    “Go back to bed, and never lie to me again,” warned Evan before he turned around and left.


    Nicole was speechless. I wasn’t lying, okay? I was being honest! I did mistake you as a male escort.


    Nicole frowned as she watched Evan walking away. She didn’t think that Evan would still be that


    domineering towards women, even after he was poisoned and had amnesia.


    Wa… He wasn’t poisoned because he messed with another girl’s heart, was he? Did a woman get


    upset and use the poison to seek revenge?


    Those thoughts got Nicole suddenly curious about how Evan was poisoned. I need to get to the bottom


    of this when I have the chance.


    Nicole felt strange when she returned to her room andid on the bed. Over the past two years, she


    had been wary of overeating because she would inevitably vomit everything out afterward. To her


    surprise, she didn’t have any bad reaction, even though Evan made her finish an entire bowl of


    porridge and three prawns.


    That got Nicole secretly delighted. If this persists and I stop vomiting, I may be able to fatten myself up


    quickly and see my kids soon. When Evan spoke to Juan earlier, Juan said that Maya had lost weight


    and is thin now. I wonder what she looks like. They’re approaching their teens now, so they must have


    grown up a lot…


    The next day.


    Evan had the maid prepare a scrumptious breakfast for Nicole early in the morning. Nicole was


    cooperative and wanted to eat more, but she only managed to down a few bites before she suddenly


    rushed to the washroom.


    Evan knew that Nicole’s stomach was acting up, so he immediately called the doctor and have him


    examine her. The doctor diagnosed Nicole with poor physical health and said that her digestive system


    was weakened, so she couldn’t eat well. Heter prescribed some medicine to her and told her to rest


    well.


    Nicole sighed when she saw the bags of medicine lying by her bedside. To think that she was


    celebratingst night and thought that she would see her kids soon. Looks like that dream will take


    some time before ites true.


    Nicole was feeling sad when she suddenly heard her children shouting.


    “Daddy, we’re here to visit you.”


    “Daddy, I learned several recipes for different delicacies. I’ll cook for you.”


    It’s Juan and Maya! Nicole was excited and thought, My kids are here. I want to see them so badly.


    However, Nicoleter checked herself out. Do I really want to see the kids in this state? I am like a


    skeletal monster now.


    Evan could see Nicole struggling, so he spoke in a harsh tone, “I will not let you see my children until I


    am certain that you are my wife.”


    After saying his piece, Evan walked out of the room and closed the door behind him.


    Nicole stopped struggling, but she was obviously disappointed as well. Still, she thought that it was


    good for her to not see them just yet. She could wait until she recovers, and her kids will see a healthy


    and pretty mommy. She wanted to present herself that way to her kids.
