Evan could feel a grin tugging at his lips as well when he noticed Nicoleâs smile.
However, not everyone in the household was feeling that way.
Levant stood on the roof and watched Stephen play with the kids with a grim expression.
If only Evan Seet died in that air crashâ¦if only Nicole chose me over himâ¦I would be the one playing with them now!
Isnât that the best ending to this drama?
Why did the gods have to be so cruel? They took everything from me!
Noâ¦no! Everything belongs to me! No one can take it away from me!
Levant looked on while shivering in anger.
His bodyguard stepped forward and looked into his eyes. âLooks like Sir Musgrave is dead set on establishing a good relationship with Nicole and her kids. He would do anything to make them happy!â
Levant grimaced. Heâs rightâ¦
Heâs never been so nice to me or his wife before?
Itâs over for me if he passed his title to Nicoleâ¦
He decided not to delay things any further.
âHey, you! Go andâ¦â
âYes, Mr. Levant.â
As night fell and the sun dipped below the horizon, the lights in the estate flickered on, making it bright as day.
Stephen told the butler to cook up a feast for dinner, and he made sure to order a few of Nicoleâs favorite dishes.
The kids cheered when they saw the array of dishes on the table as the family sat down for dinner.
Stephen glanced at the kids and smiled. âHelp yourselves! Just tell the kitchen staff if thereâs anything you donât like.â
âThank you, Sir Musgrave!â
âThank you, Grandpa!â
Stephenâs smile faltered for a moment before breaking into an even larger grin.
Evan picked up a piece of beef and put it into Nicoleâs bowl. âTry this. You like this, donât you?â
Nicole took a bite out of it and found it delicious. She proceeded to eat a few more pieces of beef, which made Stephen chuckle.
Thank you for giving birth to our daughter, Rosalie!
Iâll make sure to take care of her and make up for the lost timeâ¦
The kids seemed to enjoy the meal very much, and Maya spent the entire dinner covering her mouth to hide the fact that she had been stuffing her face with food like a hamster.
Halfway through dinner, Juan excused himself from the table to go to the bathroom, only to notice a complex-looking robot standing outside the door.
Is this a surprise from Sir Musgrave?
He scurried back to the dining room to inform Kyle about it, who perked up upon hearing that he could interact with it.
âIâm full. Iâm going out to play,â Kyle declared, sliding off his seat and running out of the dining room.
âIâm full too!â Nina said, curious to find out what her brothers were up to.
Maya stared at them in confusion. Why are they running off without me?
She hopped off her seat and waddled out on her chubby legs.
âWow! Itâs a cool robot!â she yelled upon noticing the robot.
Nina, Juan and Kyle started to interact with the robot, and they enjoyed it very much.
As they played with the robot, a pair of eyes watched them from afar. âMr. Levant, Iâve managed to lure the kids out with the robot.â
âGet someone to supervise them and find a chance to get it done.â
âYes, Mr. Levant.â
Levant glanced at the four kids and walked into the dining room.
âGood evening, Dad,â he said before taking a seat next to his father.
âThat took you long,â Stephen said, visibly annoyed.
He had tried to invite Levant to dinner, only for the latter to tell him that he had been busy. How insulting!
