Chapter 1043


    The kids’ voices rang up from the other side of the door.


    “Daddy, I won the Taekwondopetition again. Shouldn’t you reward me for it?”


    “I’ll help you reward him, daddy. I’ve learned a lot of recipes, and I can make him healthier. Those recipes


    can also give him a physical boost which can be a reward.”


    Juan turned to Maya andined, “I am not interested in that. I want to go to a more challenging dojo


    to continue training and improving my skills. Daddy, will you let me go?”


    Nian and Kyle walked over, too. Nina sighed and imed, “Daddy, I want to manage the press


    conference announcing my new products. I have some ideas about how I want to reveal the mystery of


    my product to the entire world. It will revolutionize the cosmetic industry, and I want to be the one who


    names them. Can I do that, daddy?”


    Nina had just finished speaking when Kyle, who was a man of few words, suddenly chimed in as well. “I


    have the same idea as Juan, daddy. I want to move to a more challenging school to further develop my


    skills. I’m not interested in martial arts, though. I prefer honing myputer skills so that I can better


    help you manage thepany,” said Kyle.


    Nicole teared up when she heard what her kids said. Her children had all grown up, and they had


    developed their own views and ideas. They were also hardworking and knew to always strive to be


    better. That put her mind at ease.


    Looks like Evan and Sophia had been nice to the kids over the past two years and had taught them well.


    I, however, failed miserably as their mother. I wasn’t there for them when they grew up.


    Nicole secretly opened the door and snuck a peek. She saw that her kids had all gotten taller. Juan and


    Kyle were growing to look more and more like Evan. Juan had always been active, while Kyle had


    always preferred a more passive way of dealing with things. When they were kids, Juan would prefer


    running around and ying, whereas Kyle would prefer sitting still and reading. That made Kyle the man


    who nned the schemes, and Juan the man who carried out the ns. And now, Juan is into learning


    martial arts while Kyle is into learningputer skills. It’s perfect for them.


    Nicole then turned to Nina and Maya. Nina was beautiful with a good figure. Her movements exuded


    confidence like that of a nobledy, giving off the impression that she was a vibrant personality who


    spoke her mind.


    Is that… Maya?


    Maya’s chubby cheeks were gone which indicated that Maya had indeed lost a lot of weight. She looked


    a lot like Nina, and her beautiful face shone with a lively tone. Looks like leading her down the path of a


    chef is a fantastic choice for her. She has really benefitted from it, and her healthy diet has given her a


    beautiful glow. Maya wasn’t as proud as Nina but was like a stunning sunflower instead.


    Emotions swelled up Nicole’s heart when she recalled the first time she met them at the hospital.

    “Sure, I can promise all of you that. I will call you once I’ve made all the arrangements.”


    “Thank you, daddy.”


    “Thank you, daddy.”


    The kids were all delighted.


    Evan’s gaze shifted to Maya. He paused for a moment before he asked, “Maya, can you make a few


    dishes for me? I’d like to try them.”


    “Sure, daddy. I’ll get on it right away.”


    Maya’s cooking…


    Nicole’s lips curved into a beautiful smile. She recalled how Maya used to get her face all dirty as she ate


    desserts, and how the kid looked like a cute little kitten. Maya’s specialties are probably the cakes and


    desserts that she had always liked ever since she was a kid.


    About half an hourter, the door to the room was knocked on and opened. The butler came in with two


    tes of delicacies and informed, “Mrs. Seet, please try these. Ms. Maya made them.”


    Maya made them?


    Nicole saw the delicacies that looked and smelled wonderful. She got extremely excited and took the


    food over to take a closer look. The ingredients were nutritious and well-bnced with crab meat, sliced


    pork, and vegetables.


    Nicole took a small bite. Happiness oozed from her smile as shemented, “This is the best dish I


    have ever tasted.”


    “I’m d you enjoy it, Mrs. Seet.”


    The butler left the room. Nicole ate the dishes Maya made and recalled how Maya was as a kid. Nicole


    remembered how, one time, Nina teased and called Maya a piggy. That got Maya so upset that she cried


    with a broken heart and insisted that she wasn’t a fat piggy…


    There was also a time when Maya argued with Nina, and Nina, being the quicker one, dissed her


    mercilessly. Maya was angry, but she couldn’t keep up with Nina, so the former ended up hugging a


    teddy bear and yelling from outside the room, “You’re a mean sister. Come out of there, you meanie!”


    Everything felt like it happened the day before. A few years have passed in a blink of an eye. Time really


    waits for no one.
