He had even told Nicole and Evan to sit with him during lunch.
âYou must take good care of Ms. Lane in the future, Evan. You canât let her suffer again.â
âI will, Grandpa.â
As Evan spoke, the adults spotted the kids walking over in a straight line.
âThey are Evanâs kids? How adorable!â
âI know, right? They look like dolls.â
âLook at that chubby little girl over there. I feel like biting those two puffy cheeks.â
Davin looked at Moira, who was staring at Maya with glittering eyes.
âYou want to eat a child in broad daylight?â
Moira, who was one year younger than Davin, was their Uncle Ryanâs daughter.
She was extraordinarily fond of little girls and had already planned to give birth to a daughter, although she wasnât married yet.
She turned to look at Davin. âWhat nonsense are you spouting now? I mean, look at how chubby she is. It must feel good to hug her. Say, do you think that itâll be like pinching marshmallows?â
âYou canât pinch her. Sheâll bite you.â
âBite?â
âYeah, and not only that, but sheâll also hit you with her Maya Punch.â
Oh⦠Feisty, I like it!
âHey, Davin. Youâre pretty close to the kids, right? Could you get that chubby one to sit next to me later?â
âOkay, but youâll have to return the favor,â Davin agreed upon consideration.
âSure,â Moira agreed without a second thought.
âItâs a deal then. Iâll bring her over later.â
Reaching an agreement, Moira fixed her eyes on the children again.
The children were walking over to Russell, greeting him in unison, âHello, Great-grandpa!â
A broad smile was plastered on Russellâs face at the sight of the kids.
âLetâs eat first. Great-grandpa has prepared gifts for each of you.â
Nina had guessed that those gifts must have been expensive.
Great-grandpa has given Rose Garden to Juan. Maya and I should probably receive something of the same tier, right?
Maya, on the other hand, guessed that it would be a lot of money. She wanted to save all the money and open a restaurant in the future so that the hungry children could have the privilege to enjoy good food.
âThank you, Great-grandpa.â
The kids then turned around to greet the Seet family elders.
âTheyâre so polite.â
âIndeed, they are. As expected of Evanâs children!â
âThey must be starving. Hurry up and let them take their seats.â
The kids looked at the seats arranged for them and hesitated.
âI want to sit with Uncle Davin,â Juan piped up, his eyes glowing.
âI want to sit with Uncle Davin too,â Maya chimed in.
Sophia quickly got the maids to make the arrangements as to accommodate the children.
Davin could not be any happier to see the kids running toward him.
Once they were seated, he waved his hand at Maya, who then jumped off from her seat and walked over to him.
âUncle Davin,â Maya acknowledged in a piping voice.
âGood girl! Maya, this is Aunt Moira. She adores you. Why donât you sit with her?â
Maya blinked and saw that Moira was smiling at her, looking amiable.
âNice to meet you, Aunt Moira.â
Moira was elated when the little one took the initiative to greet her. She quickly scooped her up and pinched her cheeks before stroking her tummy.
Sheâs so adorable!
âWhatâs your name?â
âMaya.â
âHow adorable. What do you want to eat? Let me know and Iâll get it for you, okay?â
Maya nodded in delight.
Moira deliberately let Maya sit next to her.
Meanwhile, Lisa, who was sitting at the same table, had a disgusted look on her face at the sight of the children.
