Sophia was beyond thrilled after hearing this. If Levant indeed found someone with whom to spend the rest of his life, he would no longer cherish Nicole in his heart and would live harmoniously with Evan. Murphy, too, would be delighted to hear about this.
This was splendid news.
She gaped at Levant in excitement. âWhat if you bring her over right now?â
âRight now?â
Levant moaned bitterly in his mind. He merely came up with a white lie; why must they insist on bringing her over?
He did not know what Tiffany was up to now, and he was not even sure if she was willing to help.
âIs it inconvenient?â Sophia inquired.
âShe could be busy now, sheâ¦â
âMom, you have to give him enough time to find an actress. How can he arrange for a woman right away when you are requesting to see her out of the blue?â
Sophia, ââ¦â
Evan still did not believe him and continued to accuse Levant of finding an actress.
Levantâs blood was boiling. I must have had too many unresolved issues with Evan in the past because this jerk just wouldnât let me go!
Glaring at Evan with hostility, Levant spoke through clenched teeth, âEvan! Iâm going to bring her over; just you wait!â
Levant left furiously. Quietly, Sophia sighed.
âEvan, you donât have to press him on like this. Feelings have to be mutual in a relationship.â
âGrandma, Daddy only wants Mr. Levant to find a girlfriend as soon as possible so that he wonât bother Mommy anymore, â Juan contended.
Nina agreed, âYes, Grandma. Daddy is just protecting his love.â
Maya said, âGrandma, we want to see if Mr. Levantâs girlfriend is as beautiful as our Mommy.â
Sophia looked at the mischievous children and smiled helplessly. âThese kids surely are Daddyâs best wingmen!â
â¦
After Levant left Seet Residence in his car, he immediately rang Avril for Tiffanyâs home address.
âWhy do you want her home address? Do you intend to be her fake boyfriend?â
âNo! I just want her to pretend to be my girlfriend.â
Avril was at a loss for words.
What exactly is the difference?
Besides, do you even have a girlfriend? How dare you say you want to pretend?
âWhy do you suddenly have this thought? Is it because you now realize what I told you before actually makes sense? Do you now want to help her because you pity her situation? You and Tiffany..â
Levant no longer wanted to hear from Avril. He cut her off instantly, âGive me her address!â
ââ¦â
Avril pouted. You wonât even let me talk. Never mind, Iâll set you two up eventually.
After giving him Tiffanyâs address, Avril decided to join in on the fun out of sheer curiosity.
Levant arrived at Tiffanyâs place. He could not help but frown when he saw the run-down apartment building.
Did I lend her ten million just for her to buy a place like this? What was she thinking? Such a cheapskate.
Levant felt he himself was hot-headed as well. How could I think of using her as my fake girlfriend?
Since everyone was still waiting for Tiffany at Seet Residence, he forced himself to walk into the apartment building and knocked on her door.
âWho is it?â
âItâs me!â
The door opened. Tiffany seemed a little excited to see Levant.
âItâs you? Come in!â
When he walked into the room and saw the decor, he scowled.
âWhy didnât you find a better place than this?â
âI have constraints. Iâm already satisfied with a roof over my head, but Iâm afraid the money that youâve lent meâ¦â
âDonât worry. Iâm not here for the money. You can return it whenever you can.â
âThank you. Please sit. I will make some tea for you.â
While Tiffany went to the kitchen, Levant looked around the living room. His gaze soon landed on the computer monitor, which showed an incomplete blueprint.
He remembered that she worked as a designer. This must be her work.
