Davin muttered, âMom, donât worry. My brotherâs kids are all smart children. Theyâll be one of the best in the future. Iâm afraid that even Evan will lose to them.â
Sophia responded, âIâll be glad if they really can be better than Evan.â
âNo worries, Mom. They will,â her younger son reassured.
âOh, I was too preoccupied with your brother. You should do your best with Sheila too. Iâm waiting to raise your kids. Now that Evanâs kids are all grown up, I miss the times when they were younger. They were so cute. Everyone loved them.â
That remark made Sheila smile awkwardly. âSophia, please continue eating. If you keep talking, the food will turn cold.â
Maya took more servings of food for Sophia. âThatâs right. Grandma, eat more. You have to trust Uncle Davin. Sheâll have cute lambs soon. Baa, baa!â the young girl said as she put her hands on top of her head as if they were sheep horns. Although she was already a teenager, she was still adorable as ever.
Sophia laughed at the sight. âWhy donât I let you take care of their children when they have them?â
âSure. Iâm just scared Uncle Davin canât bear to part with them.â
âOf course I can. Iâll let the four of you take care of them. With cousins like you, theyâll definitely be smart kids too.â
âThen hurry up and have some babies already. I keep urging you even though youâre an adult now. Whatâs going on in that head of yours?â
âYes, yes. Itâll be soon!â
At that, Sheila sneakily kicked him and whispered, âIf you want me to give birth to your children, youâll have to cut ties with your ex-girlfriend first.â Then, she even pinched Davinâs thigh hard.
âOuch!â he wailed.
âWhatâs wrong?â
âNothing. Iâm fine.â He hurriedly dug into his meal.
âYou scared me. It was as if someone stepped on your foot.â Sophia glared at him.
Plastering a smile on, Davin reassured, âOf course not. Letâs dig in.â
After lunch, Evan and Nicole brought Nina to meet her new makeup teacher.
âGood afternoon, Mr. Seet, Mrs. Seet. Please let me introduce myself. Iâm Chris Sanders, and I specialize in skin care products.â
This is my new teacher?
My teacherâs a guy?
Nina sized Chris up. The man had a clear voice, and he was handsome. Although he was not as tall as her father, he was at least six feet. He had a bright smile, and he seemed easygoing and polite.
âNina, this is your new teacher, so you should greet him.â
Nicole dragged her daughter out from her daze. Recollecting herself, Nina greeted, âHello, Mr. Sanders, Iâm Nina.â
Chris nodded, looking glad. âNina, Iâll be your teacher from now on. You can ask me any questions you have in mind.â
At that, the girl stole a peek at Evan before she froze. She did have a question in her mind. âMr. Sanders, Iâd like to ask you if thereâs a product that can make small eyes turn into big eyes and solve every skin problem?â
âMakeup can, but itâll be a tough feat for basic skincare products to achieve. You canât change small eyes into big eyes with just skincare products,â her teacher answered truthfully.
Nina then turned to her father again, thinking, Daddy, you heard him. Itâs impossible for small eyes to turn into big eyes. Donât ask me to come up with a product like that before I can have a press conference.
âHowever, itâs possible to change someoneâs looks with basic skincare routine and makeup,â Chris continued.
âMakeup is my specialization, but I hope to learn more about creating cosmetics products. Iâm hoping to come up with these kinds of products for every woman. This way, no matter how terrible their faces are, they can achieve perfection through skincare and makeup. I hope their faces will be as smooth as babyâs skin.â
