Chapter 235: Chapter 234

“By the way, I’m going to Royal Mall to shop. See ya.”

Sylphiette rolled her eyes at him before leaving. Meanwhile, she started devising a plan to get rid of Davin, who had constantly been throwing spanners in her plans.

In the evening, Nicole began preparing dinner after picking up the children from the kindergarten.

As Juan and Kyle watched their mom discreetly, they felt that their suspicions were spot on.

“Could this be our last meal before she leaves?”

Just as Juan spoke, Kyle was feeling disturbed. Is Mommy going to abandon me again?

Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart as tears welled up in his eyes.

Walking towards Nicole, he hugged her thigh with all his might and didn’t want to let go.

“Kyle, what’s wrong?”

He continued hugging tightly in silence.

As Nicole gave him a puzzled look, she asked him again about what was going on.

Juan then ambled towards her with a pitiful expression. “Mommy, are you going to leave me and Kyle behind?”

Nicole didn’t know what to say.

She was surprised as to what gave the kids this idea.

“Who told you that?”

“Mommy, you don’t have to hide it from us. When you give us a treat all of a sudden, we can guess for ourselves. Just like prisoners who get a decent last meal, you’re treating us to something delicious before you leave.”

Nicole pinched Juan’s face in response.

“Don’t start spouting nonsense. I’m giving you a treat not because I’m leaving you, I have a different reason in mind.”

Lifting his head to look at Nicole, Kyle’s expression was filled with curiosity. “Mommy, what’s the reason?”

Worried that both children would think she was abandoning them, she told them the truth. “Mommy needs your help.”

“To do what?”

When Nicole was done telling them, Juan sighed. “Next time, just tell us straight up that you need our help. Or else, you are just giving us an unnecessary scare.”

“That’s right, you shouldn’t have to hide things from us.”

“In that case, do you then agree to help me?”

“Mmm… Don’t worry, Mommy, we will get the job done.”

Nicole was delighted. As long as both of them managed to take a picture of Evan’s shoulder to show if there were any bite marks, everything would become clear.

When the children saw the tantalizing spread of food in front of them, their eyes sparkled. Even Maya was itching to dig in.

“You must be hungry. Go ahead and eat.”

“Mommy, is the clinic ready?”

“I am done with the preparations. So, I can start giving acupuncture treatments the day after. Going forward, I can definitely make a lot of money and provide all of you with a better life.”

“You’re so nice to us, Mommy.”

“Mommy’s the best!”

“Mommy, you’re amazing!”

“Mommy, here’s a drumstick for you!”

As Nicole looked at the children, she became emotional when she recalled how much they had been through together since they were babies.

To her, bringing them joy was all she needed to be happy.

Meanwhile, Evan watched them from outside as he couldn’t bear to disrupt the heart-warming moment. After hesitating for a while, he left.

“Evan, where’s Kyle and Juan?”

“They’re having dinner.”

Sylphiette frowned. “About the clothes I bought them…”

“They can try them on once they’re back.”

“Alright, remember to give it to them. Also, don’t tell them I bought the clothes because I’m worried they might not be willing to accept them. If the clothes don’t fit, I’ll have them changed.”

Evan gave her a cursory nod as he couldn’t shake the heartwarming scene he saw earlier, where the children’s laughter filled the house.

Kyle must like that sort of environment a lot. He has always been longing for a warm familial environment filled with motherly love.

Noticing that Evan’s mind seemed to be elsewhere, Sylphiette was stunned for a moment.

She waved her hands in front of his eyes. “Evan, do you think the clothes I bought look good?”

Sylphiette’s red trench coat accentuated the fair complexion of her face while its tapered design showed off all her curves in the right places.

Giving it a glance, Evan nodded. “It does.”

“I wanted to buy some for you but I was worried that you might not like them. Next time, let’s go together alright?”
