Chapter 1181


    Just as Nicole was about to reveal their travel ns, she was interrupted by Evan. “We’re discussing


    some important matters that kids shouldn’t get involved in,” he said sternly.


    “Daddy, we’re already fifteen. We’re not kids anymore,” said Maya.


    Meanwhile, she grumbled in her heart. Hmph, what does Daddy mean by “kids shouldn’t get involved?” I


    clearly heard them talking about traveling the world just now. Why wouldn’t he want me and Nina to know


    about this? Could it be that he doesn’t want to bring us along?


    “It doesn’t matter whether you are still kids or not. What I’m discussing with your mother has nothing to


    do with you two.” Evan gave them a calm yet stern look.


    Maya and Nina exchanged nces. Seeing how Evan didn’t want to tell them the truth, they decided to


    ask their mother instead.


    Maya turned to look at Nicole and asked, “Mommy, I overheard you talking about Paris and Venice just


    now. Why are you going to those ces?”


    Nicole remained silent. She couldn’t figure out why Evan didn’t want the kids to know about their travel


    ns.


    After a while, she gave Evan a nce before telling her kids the truth, “Your father and I are nning to


    travel for a while, and those are the ces we n to visit.”


    After Nicole finished speaking, Maya red at Evan unhappily. As expected, Mommy is more reliable!


    Daddy just wants to hide the truth from us!


    “Mommy, can you bring me and Nina along? We want to go too,” she said.


    Nicole was taken aback by her request. “But don’t you two have school to attend? We’ll be away for quite


    some time and won’t be back anytime soon.”


    Evan gave Maya a piercing re, knowing full well that the reason why she and Nina suddenly darted


    into the study room was because they wanted to tag along.


    “We can apply for leave of absence, Mommy,” said Maya.


    “Yeah, we can do self-study while traveling,” Nina concurred.


    The two girls eagerly wanted to travel.


    However, Nicole felt that it wasn’t a good idea to put traveling before their studies. Not to mention, they


    would be away for several months. She nced at Evan quietly and finally understood why he didn’t


    want to tell the girls about this.

    When Maya and Nina first came into the study room, Evan already had a hunch that they wanted to tag


    along.


    “The two of you are noting with us.” Evan red at Maya and Nina.


    “But Daddy, why can’t you bring us along? We won’t interfere in your and Mommy’s private time. We’ll go


    sightseeing with you during the day, and we’ll steer clear of you and Mommy at night. I promise we won’t


    bother you, please?” Maya pleaded.


    Evan looked at her eager face, and simply answered in one word, “No.”


    “But why not, Daddy?” Maya tried to coax her father by putting on a whiny tone.


    She then turned to look at Nina anxiously. Say something, Nina! You should be putting your wits to good


    use right now!


    Sensing Maya’s inner thoughts, Nina added, “Mommy, Daddy, are we really not allowed to tag along?”


    “Nina, we’ll be away for seven months. The two of you should focus on your studies during this time.


    Once wee back, I’ll organize a press conference for your productunch. I hope you’ll put these


    seven months to good use so that your productunch will be a sess,” Evan replied.


    In response, Nina simply nodded her head and said, “Okay, Daddy.”


    On the other hand, Maya widened her eyes and looked at her sister in disbelief. Come on, Nina. We


    can’t give up this easily. I tried so hard before I finally convinced you just now.


    “Maya, make sure your food za runs smoothly. If it’s a sess, I’ll get you a new outlet when we


    return. You can choose any ce you like, and I will fulfill your other wishes too,” said Evan.


    Maya pouted her lips grumpily. Hmph, Daddy is willing to do anything just so we don’t follow them on


    their travels!


    Evan then added, “Your mother gets to travel because her husband kindly offered. When you get married


    in the future, you can ask your husband to take you anywhere you like!”


    Maya was rendered speechless.


    He’s evening up with these illogical excuses now!


    “Fine, we’ll stop asking. You don’t have to keep nagging us!” said Maya.


    “Yeah, we don’t want to go anymore,” Nina echoed.


    Satisfied with their responses, Evan said, “Alright, it’s gettingte. It’s time for the two of you to go to bed


    now.”
