When she saw that the visitor was Evan, she was taken aback.
âWhatâre you doing here?â
âTo settle the score with you!â Evan spat as he stormed into the house.
Nicole frowned. Does he think that I went too far snapping at him in Rose Garden and came to take revenge?
Nicole turned around and saw that Evan had already taken a seat on the sofa. She questioned him, âAlright, Mr. Seet, what do you want?â
âApologize!â Evan scowled.
Nicole frowned. Why should I apologize? He started it back at Rose Garden!
âNo way!â Nicole glowered at him.
âAs a parent, you should take responsibility for her actions!â
Nicole was perplexed. Who?
âEvan, what do you mean by that?â
âAs a parent, you have a duty to teach your child some manners!â
Nicole roared, âEvan Seet, who are you calling unmannered?â
âMaya, of course! Which man fathered such an annoying child?â
Maya? Maya has been very obedient! Nina is the one always causing trouble for him! If he told me Nina did something, I wouldâve believed him, but Maya loves her father! Sheâd never do anything too harm him!
âEvan, Maya has been really nice to you! Donât you dare talk ill about her. If you really want to know what kind of a scumbag her father is, Iâd be more than happy to inform you!â
Evan gave her a cold glare.
Nicole took a seat and sighed, âI mustâve been blind back then. Mayaâs father is⦠nothing worth mentioning!â
Evan scoffed, âSo you do admit that you have bad taste. Mayaâs father is probably some hooligan or good-for-nothing!â
Hooligan? Good-for-nothing?
Nicole raised an eyebrow, âWhat makes you think so, Mr. Seet?â
Evan gave her a look of contempt and explained, âA woman like you who gets herself drunk and finds any random man in a bar wonât be able to find a decent man!â
Nicole burst into laughter and gave him a thumbs-up sign. She commented, âYouâre absolutely right, Mr. Seet. I did meet Mayaâs father in a barâ¦â
She sighed, âHe might just be a good-for-nothing and a rotten scumbag!â
âMight? He definitely is!â
âYou hit the mark, Mr. Seet! Please, carry on!â Nicole chuckled as she watched Evan continue cursing himself.
It was an entertaining scene.
Evan frowned. Why is this woman going along with me? Does she think that this will be enough to make me happy?
âHer father is a bastard, and youâre no better! Otherwise, she wouldnât have turned out like this!â
Huh? So heâs finally decided to change his target?
Nicole sat upright and confronted him, âMr. Seet, Maya has always adored you. Sheâll be hurt if she hears what you just said.â
Evan sneered, âYou only have yourself to blame for not teaching her properly!â
Suddenly, the door opened and Maya approached Evan timidly.
âUncle, I was in the wrong. This has nothing to do with mommy.â
Nicole saw that her eyes were swollen and queried, âMaya, did you do something?â
Maya nodded and began bawling, âIâm sorry! I didnât do it on purposeâ¦â
Nicole hurriedly picked her up and consoled her.
