Chapter 1637 Love Cannot Be Forced
Zayden nodded. âThanks, Sally, my beloved sister-in-law.â
Sally took a glance at Kyle and blushed. âYouâre welcome. Enjoy your food.â
After finishing the fish, Zayden had another bowl of soup. He then hopped down from his seat and rubbed his belly. âLook at my stomach. Itâs so full. I canât eat anymore.â
âYou can continue during lunch.â
Kyle looked at his belly and could not help but think of Maya. Zayden looked just like her when she was little.
âOkay.â
âLetâs go and play! Luke is going to be here any minute.â
âOkay!â
The two children held their hands and left for the living hall.
Half an hour later, Tiffany brought Luke to the house. The three little ones were excited to meet with each other, and they started running all over the living hall.
While Sophia had gone out with Sally to buy maternity essentials, Sheila and Tiffany stayed home to catch up with each other.
âDo you miss Levant?â Sheila asked.
Tiffany grinned. âI donât know. Iâve been occupied with the company and the winery, so I donât really have much time to think about him.â
âYouâre only busy during the day, but how about at night? Do you think of him?â
Tiffany kept mum.
Upon noticing Tiffanyâs reaction, Sheila smiled. âYou must have missed him. Evan and Nicole will be coming over tonight. Levant will be here too, I suppose? You should be able to see him tonight.â
âReally? Iâm not sure.â
âNot sure about what?â
âIâm not sure if heâs coming back. He didnât call.â
Sheila was left speechless. âCanât you give him a call? Stop being so passive and donât act like you donât care. You need to take the initiative to win the manâs heart!â
âI used to be the one who made the first move, but he didnât seem to show any interest in me.â
Sheila sighed but continued to encourage her, âPerhaps you need to try a little harder. Thatâs how I got married to Davin. Iâve been trying to get his attention since preschool, and it took me twenty years to win him over. Iâm sure you can do it too.â
âI canât just force someone to fall in love with me, and I donât want to put pressure on him. Iâm fine with how we treat each other now.â
Sheila let out another sigh. âDonât you know love has no logic? The same goes for our feelings. Who says love canât be forced? Look how happy Davin and I are.â
âItâs different. Davin was not deeply in love with someone else, so itâs easier for you to win his love. Levant is differentâ¦â
âYou mean Levant is still in love with Nicole?â
Tiffany responded with a smile. âOnly he knows where his heart belongs. Iâm happy to give Luke a place he could call home and have a career of my own. Thatâs all I could hope for.â
Sheila began to think of what Tiffany had said. Sheâs right. She may not have a relationship, but at least sheâs a successful businesswoman. We canât have it all, can we?
Evan and Nicole finally returned to Imperial Garden in the evening. Joy ran up to her and hugged her thigh. âMommy, youâre home! I missed you.â
âI missed you too. Youâve grown taller.â Nicole gently stroked the back of Joyâs head.
âSleep with me tonight, okay, Mommy?â
Nicole nodded. âSure.â
Upon hearing that, Zayden tilted his head to look at Evan. âI want to sleep with all of you too!â
Joy turned around and looked at him. âHey, theyâre my daddy and mommy. Why should they sleep with you?â
Zayden pouted. âBut you slept with my daddy and mommy too. My mommy hugged you last night, and when you woke up in the middle of the night, my daddy carried you! They even tossed me aside and forgot about me. Why canât I sleep with your daddy and mommy tonight?â
