However, he would always remember the hard times Sheila had gone through with him. After those months, he had given up waiting for his ex-girlfriend and accepted Sheila. Yet, unexpectedly, the woman in his past had popped into his life again.
He was helping his ex-girlfriend â not because he still had feelings for her â but because he felt that he owed her and wanted to make up for it.
âThe two of you really have misunderstood me. I donât mean anything else. When she was my girlfriend, I got drunk and fought once, and I ended up causing herâ¦â I better not mention the miscarriage. It might make things worse.
He quickly changed his words. âI ended up causing her to be hurt, and thatâs why sheâs been unwell until now. Therefore, I think I should make it up to her.â
âThatâs all?â
âThatâs right,â Davin guaranteed.
Sheila cast doubtful eyes on him and asked, âIf all you want to do is to make it up to her, then you should give her more money and stop meeting her in the future. In my opinion, for a woman to cling to you means that she still has feelings for you. As your fiancée, I canât let a woman like her have any chance to get close to you.â
Davin fell silent as he looked at her.
She continued, âDavin, I can put myself into your shoes, but you should put yourself into my shoes and just hand her the money. Cut ties with her after. Thatâs the only way our relationship will continue to be peaceful. What do you think about it?â
The man remained silent.
His mother voiced, âI think Sheilaâs right. Sheila, you have my support. Youâre someone who can see the big picture. Dave, Iâll do this for you. Donât worry. I wonât treat your ex-girlfriend terribly. From now on, youâll spend your time with Sheila well. Donât fight over this matter again. Pick a date and quickly get married so weâll be a family.â
Sheila was glad to hear Sophiaâs words. It was better for Sophia to give the woman money in case the woman refused to take the money from Davin.
Davin sighed again. âMom, regardless of everything, sheâs hurt because of me. You have to be wary of your demeanor and be nicer to her.â
âDonât worry. I know what to do.â
Though she had gotten Sophiaâs reassurance, Sheila still felt a little upset about it. She shot a few vicious glares at Davin before the matter was finally settled.
Just then, Sophiaâs phone rang.
After peeking at the screen, she picked up the call. âAnything I can help you with, Murphy?â
After a while of silence, delight crept upon Sophiaâs face. âI understand. Donât worry. I wonât tell anyone about it. You have to take good care of her.â
After the call ended, a bright smile was on Sophiaâs face. She turned to look at Nicole and Sheila. âIâve misunderstood the two of you about Tiffany. Why donât you stay here for lunch? Iâll ask the maids to cook whatever you wish to eat.â
Nicole was surprised, and she pondered what Murphy had told Sophia to make her seemed thrilled.
A thoughtful look flashed across Evanâs eyes. He could guess what had made Murphy and Sophia so excited. Iâm afraid it has something to do with that certain person.
In the afternoon, both Nina and Maya came to Seet Residence for lunch as well.
As Sophia had heard about Ninaâs speech at her press conference, she told her stories of how the Seet family grew stronger; she wanted Nina to understand why she should stick to her morals and principles.
Knowing that Sophiaâs stories were meant for her, the girlâs face turned pale before it turned red in embarrassment. However, Nina could not escape from the scene. Hence, she hung her head and gloomily ate her food.
Evan interrupted, âMom, you donât need to tell her these stories. She understands the reasons for principles well. Both Nicole and I have had a talk with her.â
Sophia sighed. âIâm old, so Iâve become more naggy. I really hope for the children to become talented people. I hope they can make Seet Group proud.â
