The colorful lights did little to chase the sorrow in Evanâs heart away. At that moment, Evan felt like he was engulfed in endless loneliness.
He drove around mindlessly. He didnât know where to go or what to do. All he knew was that he wanted to get rid of the frustration and stress inside him.
His phone suddenly rang up, and when he saw that the call was from Kyle, he immediately picked it up.
âDaddy, are you free?â
âIs something wrong?â
âMommy went to Amazon Hotel. Juan called Maya earlier, and she told him that. You should go check the place out. Rocky is there with them.â
Is Kyle spying for me? What does Nicoleâs whereabouts have to do with me?
Evan didnât reply, so Kyle added, âGood luck, daddy, and donât worry. Mommy likes you.â
Evan frowned with suspicion after hanging the call up.
Nicole likes me?
Evan was frowning, but his lips had instinctively curved into a smile.
Why did that woman go to Amazon Hotel with Rocky? Are they on a date? Perhaps a dinner date?
Well, I havenât had my dinner yet⦠and Iâm a little hungry⦠I think Iâll go over for dinnerâ¦
Evan gripped the steering wheel and made a U-turn before he sped towards Amazon Hotel.
âMommy, I want some fish,â requested Maya in her baby voice as she handed Nicole her plate. Nicole got two fillets for her before placing the plate by Mayaâs side.
Maya stared at the ridiculously little portion of fish. Her chubby finger pointed at them as she pouted. She looked displeased as she stole a glance at her mommy.
Mayaâs annoyed gaze were basically screaming, Why am I getting so little fish? Itâs my favorite!
Rocky caught that look, so he quickly placed some more fish in front of Maya and said, âHere, this is all for you.â
Mayaâs beautiful eyes glowed as brightly as the stars. She said, âThank you, Uncle Rocky.â After that, she couldnât be bothered to say anything more before she dug in.
âDidnât you say that you want to lose weight? Looks like your desire to keep fit is nothing compared to your desire for food.â
Maya was stunned after hearing Ninaâs murmurs. The former put half of her portion of fish onto another plate before handing the plate to Nina. âYou should have some too,â offered Maya.
After that, Maya tossed a dirty look towards Nina. Sheâs always complaining about how much I eat. Itâs not like I ate her portion, and the fat isnât growing on her body, so why must she be so naggy and irritating?
Nicole shot a look at Nina, but Nina was too proud to react to it. The kid simply picked up her glass of juice and drank some.
âThe kids are so cute.â
âYeah, and they are so considerate. They always help me whenever and however they can. Theyâre my tiny assistants.â
âItâs such a bliss to have daughters,â commented Rocky as his eyes glowed with envy.
Nicole smiled and replied, âYouâll have kids in the future too, and Iâm certain theyâll be cuter than my girls.â
Maya suddenly stopped and turned to Nicole after hearing that. She defended herself and her sister. âMommy, have you ever seen a baby cuter than us?â
Mayaâs big, round eyes bulged, and her tiny, fuming face was simply too cute!
âShe hasnât because thatâs impossible,â answered Nina.
âI know, right?â agreed Maya.
Nicole was speechless.
And so was Rocky.
The two adults looked into each otherâs eyes and grinned. The kids were arguing just a second ago, but they had since turned into BFFs and working together. My gosh, those tiny things are so cute.
âUncle Rocky, would you like us to be your daughter?â asked Nina suddenly as her clear eyes shone with diligence.
Rocky was stunned. He shot a look at Nicole and grinned warmly. He spoke as if he was making a promise, âYes.â
Maya thought about her own daddy and got curious. Why ask Uncle Rocky to be our daddy when we already have a daddy of our own?
âNina, we already have a daddy.â
âHe is too mean and is not good enough to be our daddy.â
âYes, he is.â
âNo, he isnât.â
âYes, he is.â
The two kids were arguing away when Evan suddenly showed up by the door. His dark gaze landed on the kids.
Everyone in the room was flabbergasted to see him there.
Nina was shocked. She didnât understand why her evil daddy would show up all of a sudden. Did he fly down from the sky or something? Is that why I didnât see him?
