The two of them looked into each otherâs eyes, and Sheila smiled happily.
Nicole was glad to see the two of them being so close and so sweet to one another.
I guess Sheila finally gone through all the hardship and could finally live the rest of her life in happiness.
Davin used to be so repulsed by Sheila, but they still found their way to each other. I am repulsed by Levant too. Will we end up together like how Sheila and Davin did?
âLevantâ noticed how Nicole was looking a little uneasy. Why is she staring at me like this? She didnât figure anything out, did she?
âWhatâs wrong?â asked âLevantâ cautiously.
Nicole came back to her senses and asked, âItâs nothing. Howâs your Dad doing?â
Is she asking about Murphy?
Evan was surprised by how Nicole still remembered to ask about Murphyâs wellbeing.
âHis condition remains stable, but he still needs some time to rest and recuperate in the hospital.â
After hearing his reply, Nicole murmured, âSo itâll take some time.â
âYouâre looking forward to his recovery?â
Nicole smiled and replied, âWell, thatâs because weâll have our wedding as soon as he recovered.â
My connection to Evan will be completely severed once I marry Levant and become his wife. Iâm going to let Evan go and stop overthinking everything then.
âYouâre looking forward to the wedding?â asked âLevantâ suddenly as he sat beside Nicole.
Nicole nodded without saying a word.
What the hell? Sheâs actually looking forward to marrying Levant?
Nicoleâs response got Evan, Davin, and Sheila flabbergasted.
Evan locked his gaze on her, and his eyes burned with immense fury.
Sheila and Davin turned to one another, finally realizing just how serious the issue was.
At first, they thought that it would be a piece of cake for Evan to win Nicole over, but they since learned that Nicole was actually serious about marrying someone else. To make matters worse, it seemed that she was eager to remarry. Doesnât that mean that she is eager to leave Evan?
âNicole, you donât need to rush the wedding. The two of you can spend some time getting to know each other first. Besides, what if the two of you arenât suited for one another?â said Sheila when she saw the ugly expression on Evanâs face.
âExactly! Maybe youâll see that you are a better match with my brother, after all,â chimed in Davin.
Nicole stared at the couple who were building on each otherâs words. She then turned to âLevantâ and realized that the man had an ugly expression on. Naturally, Nicole didnât know that âLevantâ was actually Evan, so she couldnât have known the real reason why he was upset.
She simply assumed that Davin and Sheila talking on behalf of Evan had gotten Levant mad.
The Wicked Palace is Levantâs territory. What do I do if he chases them away in a fit of anger?
Nicole smiled and quickly replied, âI used to be in love with your brother, but we will never be together again. I feel like Levant and I might turn out to be like the two of you. We can take our time building a rapport and getting to know one another.â
Evanâs expression became even darker upon hearing that.
Meanwhile, Sheila and Davin were rendered speechless for a moment.
Davin later explained, âNicole, our love wasnât developed after we spent time together. I was simply too stupid to know how I really felt. Iâve always had feelings for Sheila. The hardship we endured simply allowed me to see things clearer. Itâs different for you and Levant. I donât think youâll ever get over my brother. In fact, I think youâre still in love with him.â
âExactly. You definitely havenât gotten over Mr. Seet yet,â said Sheila.
Nicole turned to her side. All she saw was Evan fuming even more than he originally did. Unfortunately, she was clueless about the fact that she was the culprit behind that change. She still thought that his anger stemmed from what Davin and Sheila said.
Even I donât want to talk about Evan right now, so Levant must hate that topic even more.
âPlease donât talk to me about your brother anymore,â replied Nicole before she sighed and continued, âPlease donât even mention his name. I donât want to have anything to do with him, and I donât want to know anything about him.â
ââ¦â¦â
Both Sheila and Davin had no choice but to zipped their mouths shut. They then shifted their gaze from Nicole to Evan.
Evan looked downright terrifying with his fuming gaze locked on Nicole. No one knew what he was thinking at that moment.
