Chapter 488: Chapter 487

“Yoda, do you know how to build Lego?” Juan asked, followed up by Kyle’s request. “Yoda, can you practice Taekwondo with me?”

Before Yoda could choose who he wanted to accompany, Nicole walked into the room.

“Mommy, I want to have beef stew for dinner.”

“Me too, Mommy.”

Nicole looked at Yoda and said, “No worries. I’ll prepare it after I ask Yoda some questions.”

Yoda looked at her calmly and nodded.

She asked, “Where is your family?”

Yoda took out his phone and typed: They all died in the fire.

He’s the only one left?

She asked, “Then, where do you live? Can you give me the address?”

Yoda typed the address and showed the screen to Nicole.

After memorizing everything, Nicole said, “Alright. I hope you’ll understand. After all, you’ll have to be with my kids, so I need to know your basic information.”

Yoda nodded in response.

“Okay. I’ll go prepare dinner.” She left the toy room and texted Davin the address so that he could investigate Yoda’s background.

After she was done preparing dinner, she placed plates of food on the table.

The food was simple, yet scrumptious and enough to meet the kids’ nutritional requirements.

Yoda stood at the side, serving the kids their dinner, while Nicole looked at the empty space beside her and placed a set of cutlery.

Although Evan was dead, he was still alive in her heart.

Juan said, “Mommy, is this plate for Yoda?”

Kyle chimed in and said, “Mommy, Daddy’s not back yet. Let Yoda use them and join us for dinner.”

Giving in to their requests, Nicole stood up after taking a glance at Yoda. She took out a plate and a set of cutlery, placing them in between Juan and Kyle. Her intention was so obvious. It was for Yoda to eat with them while sitting between Juan and Kyle.

Evan’s seat and his cutlery must not be tainted by anybody else.

Juan shook his head and sighed. “Mommy is always waiting for Daddy to come back home, so she has his food ready all the time. But she’s been doing this so many times, and Daddy is nowhere to be seen.”

Kyle replied, “Just let Mommy do as she pleases. What if Daddy comes back one day?”

Listening to the boys’ mumbling, a tinge of happiness flashed past Yoda’s face.

After dinner, Maya dragged Yoda’s hand, insisting on him to take her out for a stroll.

Yoda turned to look at Nicole, asking for her instructions.

After giving it a thought, Nicole agreed to let him take Maya out for a walk. But she was still worried, so she followed behind them.

What if Yoda takes Maya away?

Yoda gripped Maya’s chubby hands as she climbed down the stairs, one step at a time.

When they walked past the garden corridor, Yoda carried Maya in his arms and took careful steps.

Nicole was puzzled. Why does he have to carry Maya?

Maya said, “Yoda, whenever I and Daddy pass through here, Daddy will carry me in his arms. He said the ground of the corridor is slippery and dangerous.”

Upon hearing Maya’s words, Nicole looked at Yoda’s back in shock. He carried Maya subconsciously. Evan knew this path was slippery, but this is the first time Yoda ever set foot here. How did he know?

Doubts sprouted in Nicole’s heart, and she started overthinking.

After they passed through the corridor, Nicole asked Yoda about the reason he carried Maya. Yoda held Maya’s hand and typed on his phone with the other hand: It’s dark in this corridor, so it’s safer to carry her.

So that’s why. It’s not because he knows the ground’s slippery, but he felt it was dark.

Nicole sighed inaudibly. It’s just me imagining things.

They returned to the living room after their stroll. Nicole prepared a room for Yoda. It was the guest room on the first floor.

Juan said, “Mommy, there’s still room on the second floor. Why do you give Yoda the room on the first floor?”

She insisted, “Yoda likes the first floor.”

“Really?” Juan glanced at her in disbelief.

Nicole replied, “Juan, you’ve got too much to ask. Go to sleep, now!”

Juan shook his head, not believing Nicole’s words. Yoda has no say in this, as Mommy’s the one who decides.

It will be great if we can all stay on the second floor. So why not?

After returning to her bedroom, Nicole called Davin and asked him to send some men here, as she felt it wasn’t appropriate for Yoda to be the only one working in such a huge house.
