Kyle frowned as he sighed quietly.
It’s over.
Mommy’s going to war against Daddy again.
For the rest of the night, Nicole coaxed Nina and Maya as she cursed at Evan.
Infuriated, Nina slammed her cup onto the table.
“Mommy, he’s clearly messing with you. He’s mean and horrible. You must settle the scores with him!”
“Mommy, I never knew there could be cakes as awful as this. What if I think of this awful taste whenever I see a cake?”
Maya pouted and tears were brimming in her eyes.
Nicole squeezed the wet towel before wiping Maya’s face with it. She squeezed it vigorously as if the towel were Evan, and she was squeezing the living daylights out of him.
Evan you bastard. A*shole. It’s one thing to mess with me, but another about the others. Has he ever thought about the innocent ones?
Maybe he gets happier if more innocent people are involved.
She looked at her two daughters and wiped the tears away from Maya’s eyes. “Don’t worry. Mommy will definitely avenge you. If I don’t, I’m not fit to be your Mommy!”
“Mommy, do you need our help?” Nina inquired with a serious look on her face.
“No. You need to go to kindergarten tomorrow. I can deal with this alone.”
Her daughters were too young, and Evan did not know that they were his. If Nina did something rash to infuriate Evan, she did not know what he would do.
Therefore, she could not involve her children.
“Mommy, you have to teach him a lesson that he’ll never forget,” Nina grumbled. Beside her, Maya was puffing up her cheeks angrily.
“That’s right. How can he turn such a pretty cake into such an awful one? He’s mean to the cake.”
Mean to the cake?
What?
Nicole was speechless, and so was Nina.
Beside them, Kyle remained silent, not daring to speak on Evan’s behalf. He knew that if he chose the wrong words, they would direct their fury at him.
Furthermore, Kyle agreed with them. Daddy has gone overboard this time.
Tomorrow…
Kyle was worried that something would happen tomorrow. He had wanted to let his father and mother grow feelings for each other. That way, his family would be complete.
However, it seemed like he was getting further and further from his goal.
Worriedly, he retired to his bedroom and messaged Juan with his smartwatch.
He typed: Juan, Mommy’s going to war against Daddy tomorrow. What should we do?
War?
Juan was about to tell Kyle a good news after his meal with Evan when he saw Kyle’s message. Shock appeared in his eyes.
Evan had been in a good mood today, so Juan had asked if his mother could pick him up for kindergarten.
Evan had stayed silent. The only thing he told him was that he had given his mother the best-selling mousse cake from a top dessert store.
In the end, he even looked at him and enunciated, “Your mommy will love it.”
When he heard those words from Evan, he thought that Nicole’s return to Hillside Villa to send and take care of Kyle was inevitable. It was good news, and he was about to share it with Kyle.
However, Kyle had sent him that message.
He quickly replied: What happened? Didn’t Daddy buy a cake for Mommy?
Kyle texted: It’s precisely because of the cake!
He then told Juan everything that happened earlier in the day.
It was then that Juan realized the reason for Evan’s good mood. Daddy did not patch things up with Mommy, instead, he had pulled a trick on her!
Sigh… and here I am thinking that…
I can never guess what adults are thinking about.
Kyle said the cake was so bad that Maya cried from eating it.
All of a sudden, Juan recalled adding the assortment of condiments into their meal previously. The beef and mushrooms Daddy ate tasted bad too…
Oh no. Did Daddy hold Mommy accountable for that?
Damn. It seems like this is my fault.
His smartwatch vibrated. Juan, do you think Mommy and Daddy will fight tomorrow? Will Mommy lose?
Juan blinked. I’m the one who pranked Daddy, I can’t possibly let Mommy take the blame, nor could I let Mommy lose.
Juan typed out his message: Let’s sneak there tomorrow. We have to make sure Mommy and Daddy don’t fight.
Kyle replied: Okay, Juan. It’s a deal.
After coming to an agreement, Juan kept his smartwatch aside and tucked himself into the blanket. He blinked at the ceiling before sighing. Why is it so difficult to make Mommy and Daddy get together? Why is it so difficult to make my family reunite?
I’m so anxious.
The next day.
When Nina woke up, she instantly asked Nicole if she remembered what had happened the night before.
“Huh?” Nicole stared at her daughter’s solemn look in confusion.
Nina squeezed her mother’s waist and huffed, “Mommy, what happened to your fighting spirit overnight?”
Hearing Nina’s words, Maya ran over. “That’s right. That cake was horrible. It made me have nightmares throughout the night. I dreamt a bunch of horrible cakes running after me, asking me to eat them. It was so scary!”
Nicole looked at her daughters as she locked her fingers and cracked her knuckles.
“Don’t worry. Mommy will definitely avenge you.”
When Kyle walked out of his bedroom, he saw Nicole gritting her teeth. His heart skipped a beat as he thought, Seems to me that Mommy and Daddy will be fighting today.
“That’s right! You have to avenge us and the cake.”
Maya cheered Nicole on.
Nina snorted. “If you don’t want to eat cakes in the future because of this, you might get skinnier. Maybe this is a good thing for you.”
Maya whipped her head around to glare at Nina. “What’s good about this? It’s obviously a bad thing. Also, didn’t you say you’ll ignore Juan and me? Why are you talking to me? Hmph!”
Before their argument could worsen, Nicole hastily interrupted, “Maya, don’t talk to your sister like that. Nina did warn you against eating the awful cake.”
“That’s right. I warned her, but she didn’t believe in my words.”
Nina rolled her eyes as she folded her arms.
Maya mumbled, “That’s because you’re always so annoying.”
“You…”
Nicole rubbed her temples. She muttered to herself, “It’s normal for Maya and Nina to fight. It’s better than ignoring each other.”
“All right, that’s enough. Stop fighting. Wash up and get yourself ready for breakfast.”
The two sisters rolled their eyes at each other before heading to the bathroom.
After breakfast, Nicole sent the three kids to the kindergarten as usual.
Once they were in the building, she left for Seet Group.
When she reached the office building, she called John and asked for Evan’s office room passcode.
“Ms. Tussaud, why do you need the passcode? You’re not planning to sneak in, are you?”
Nicole ground out, “That’s right. The cake that Mr. Seet gave me yesterday was especially great. I’ll never forget its taste. I was hoping to thank him with a surprise of my own. To give him something he’ll never forget too.”
