Chapter 1386 Bonding With His Family
Nicole was a little flattered. âIs this me in your painting?â
âYes, of course. Iâm still not skillful enough to make it look as beautiful as you.â
âItâs not that case. Your painting looks even more beautiful than me.â
âNo way. You look more gorgeous,â said Evan.
Nicole felt even more embarrassed to hear this. She looked at him and said, âMr. Evan, you should be more humble.â
âWhy should I be humble when Iâve made the most beautiful woman in this world my wife?â
âEvan, donât be like this in front of everyone else. Itâs embarrassing!â
The quadruplets immediately chimed in after noticing Nicoleâs shyness.
âMommy, itâs normal for Daddy to praise you. Youâre supposed to be the most beautiful woman in Daddyâs eyes,â said Maya honestly.
âMommy, not only Daddy, youâre the prettiest woman in our eyes, too.â
âThatâs right. Mommy, youâre the most beautiful!â Nina praised.
âI agree. Mommy is the most beautiful.â Kyle kept it simple.
Sheila gave Nicole an envious look. âNicole, does Evan always give you sweet talk? I canât picture someone as serious as him saying sweet nothings to you. Look at Davin. He has never praised me.â She then glared at Davin.
Davin was upset to hear that. âThatâs not true. I always give you compliments!â
âOh, do you? I donât recall anything, though!â
âI swear I did praise you!â
âFor what?â
Davin cleared his throat. âDidnât I emphasize how loud you could be? Also, youâre the most violent wife out there. Youâre the best at spending my money, and youâre also the best at ordering me around!â
Sheila shot him a death glare. âDavin, keep up with it. I donât mind telling the whole world Iâm in charge of the family as long as you donât feel embarrassed.â
Davin was startled. He swept a glance at everyone and realized it was embarrassing to talk about this stuff in front of the kids. Sheâs right. I shouldnât be airing our dirty laundry in public.
âAnyway⦠Nicole, itâs your occasion weâre celebrating today. Why donât you say something?â
âMe? But I have nothing much to say. Thank you for coming. Iâve received all of your blessings, and I promise I will work harder to make this hospitalâs existence more meaningful to our society.â
âGreat speech! Nicole, donât forget to tell us if you need us to make a donation to the hospital.â
âSure thing.â
Juan suddenly lifted Sallyâs hand. âMommy, remember to find Sally too if you need donations. Sally grew up as an orphan, and she has been through a lot of hardships, so she knows how important it is to lend a helping hand to people in need. Am I right?â
Sally smiled calmly. âThatâs right. Mrs. Seet, you can just let me know whenever you need me. I love helping people and sharing my blessings with those in need.â
âSure. Iâll keep it in mind.â
Sally then looked at Juan and whispered, âThank you for this opportunity.â
âYouâre welcome.â Juan smiled cheekily. He knew there would be more opportunities in the future to make her suffer in silence.
Sally had seen through his intentions, and she gave him a knowing smile. âThank you for giving me the chance to get closer to your mother.â
Juan frowned. What does she mean? Did she want to get closer to Mommy? Is she planning something against Mommy?
âYouâd better not mess around.â Juan glared coldly at her.
Sally snorted. âWhy would I mess around? Iâll be part of your family soon, and this is my chance to bond with your mother, who also happens to be my future mother-in-law.â
Juan scrutinized Sally. He knew Sally must be up to something.
