    “They were worried when they didn’t hear anything about Nina, and they thought that you and Evan


    would be devastated if you two knew about it. Thus, they called me, hoping that I could give them some


    information.”


    “I did not expect them to be this caring and concerned about us,” Nicole said. Hearing that, her father


    said, “Yes, they are both good kids with great potential. I think Kyle will have no problem managing


    Seet Group. Juan can choose to help him or do what he wants. Whatever he is interested in, he will


    excel in it.”


    Nicole nced at Evan and said, “I don’t care about that. He is not a kid anymore, so he should marry


    and have children soon. My three other children are all seeing someone. Only Juan remained single.”


    After that, Nicole took a sip of the tea. Sheplimented the tea, saying that it tasted good and was


    fragrant.


    She then put the cup on the table and turned to her father. “Dad, why are you looking at me like this?


    Do I have something on my face? Or do you think that I’ve grown thinner? I’ve been busy at the


    hospitaltely. Furthermore, I’ve been worried about Nina and haven’t had much appetite or sleep.


    Perhaps I have lost some weight.”


    Her father did not take up what she said. Instead, he sighed and looked at her with confusion. “Why do


    you rush Juan to marry and have children? You can’t force love. Why rush him when he hasn’t met the


    right person? Marriage is a lifelong matter. You must let him marry someone he loves so that he won’t


    regret it.”


    He then paused for a moment before continuing, “In the past, your mother and I… I could not choose to


    marry the one I love. That is why my rtionship with your mother is filled with regrets. Nicole, this is


    my advice to you. Do not force him to marry. I think Juan will do well in life. Who knows, he might find a


    woman he loves and marry her. If you force him to get married too soon, you might ruin his chance of


    happiness. You could ruin his life forever! Being forced to marry someone does not lead to happiness.


    How will you be happy if you see Juan unhappy in his marriage? Therefore, you might as well let him


    marryter and leave everything to fate!”


    Upon hearing this, Evan became silent for a moment before nodding. “Dad, you’re right. We won’t force


    Juan if he is really against getting married. However, since he’s a grown man now, we still hope that he


    will give marriage some consideration!”


    “It’s normal for parents to worry about their children. I’m d you understand what I’m talking about. No


    one can force love! Anyway, let’s not talk about Juan anymore. We should discuss Nina. Is there any


    news about her?” the duke said.


    “Yes! Someone set Nina up, so she wants to avenge herself. We decided to let her walk her path.


    Since she wants to do this, we will let her. It’s a chance for her to grow so that she can face any


    challenges in the future,” Evan answered.


    The duke poured more tea into their cups and said, “You have my support. Do you need me to do


    anything?”


    “Dad, it’s all right! We shouldn’t interfere, since we have decided not to get in her way. Evan has


    already arranged for his men to protect her. She will be fine,” Nicole said.


    “That’s good.”


    Nicole nced around therge living room. She noticed that it was clean and tidy, but she could not


    see any servants.


    Therefore, she asked curiously, “Where are the servants?”


    “I hired workers to work on the two gardens at the backyard, so the servants are helping them. Do you


    need them for something?”


    “No, Dad…” Nicole mumbled in reply.


    Nicole’s father looked at her puzzledly. Nicole was usually an easy-going person. Now, it seemed that


    something was bothering her. “Nicole, is something on your mind?”


    “Dad, where is your wife, Portia?” Nicole had not seen her for a long time. She noticed that Portia did


    not show up even when her father was severely ill. Therefore, Nicole was curious.


    The duke was silent for a moment before letting out a heavy sigh.


    “What happened?” Nicole asked curiously.


    “She… She has passed away!” her father answered.


    “Passed away? When did it happen?” Nicole asked.


    Nicole and Evan were shocked by the sudden news of Portia’s death.
