Davin looked absolutely deranged as he tried to drag Nicole out.
Nicole heaved a deep sigh. “Since you found out on your own, I see no point in hiding it any further. This child isn’t Kyle. He’s Juan.”
“Juan?”
Davin was even more shocked now.
“He… He’s human? But the water…”
“Maya, come out!”
Davin turned to see a little girl scrunched up in a box. She was holding a water gun.
The box had a hole in it, aimed directly at the area the water drenched his back.
Davin let out a sigh of relief.
“Dr. Tussaud, your children sure are naughty!”
Maya stuck her tongue out at him. “You wrecked our door! You have to pay us back!”
Davin was stunned for a moment. He then nodded and agreed, “You’re right. I’ll pay for it!”
“Good.” Maya sprinted back into the bedroom. In the next second, she ran out again carrying a bag of shrimp chips. She handed the snack to Davin.
“Since you’re willing to pay, I’ll let you have the shrimp chips. This is my apology for spraying your back. You’re welcome.”
Davin casually opened the bag of shrimp chips and tossed a piece into his mouth.
“Apology or not, thanks for the food.”
Seeing two Kyles and being sprayed by a mysterious spurt of water had taken a lot out of him.
Maya eyed Davin. Wow, he likes eating just like me! Awesome!
Nina crossed her arms and shot him a glare. “So you’re a foodie too! Great, the mini foodie has met the big foodie! Is Maya going to turn into an even bigger foodie?”
As her sister, Nina was worried about Maya.
Maya fished a shrimp chip out and fed it to Davin. Her action got him to take a shining on her. “Little girl, you’re so kind. How about you come home with me and marry my nephew, Kyle? He’s very aloof and I worry that he won’t be able to find a wife.”
Maya shook her head without hesitation.
“You don’t want to? My family is very wealthy. You’ll be able to eat shrimp chips every day. All kinds of shrimp chips.”
“Enough, stop trying to convince her. She’ll never be Kyle’s wife!”
“Are you unsatisfied with the Seet family?”
Davin chuckled. Joking around with Nicole lifted his spirits.
“Not at all. It’s just that they’re biological siblings. Do you still want them to get married?”
Now that he knows about Juan’s existence, he’s sure to dig deeper. If I can’t keep this under wraps anymore, I might as well be upfront with him. I might be able to convince him to keep this from Evan.
Let’s give this a shot and pray for the best.
Davin stared at her with surprised disbelief. “What? Biological… siblings? You’re taking this joke too far!”
“I’m not joking. It’s true!”
Nicole regarded Davin solemnly.
The gears in Davin’s head turned. How can Dr. Tussaud’s daughter be Kyle’s biological sister?
Could it be…
His eyes widened and he looked Nicole up and down. This is too ridiculous.
“It’s true. Kyle is our brother.”
Maya gazed at Davin. Her face was utterly free of malice.
“Really?”
Davin locked his gaze onto Juan. He’s practically the carbon copy of Kyle. One doesn’t even need a DNA test to be convinced that they’re brothers.
But these two little girls bear no resemblance to Kyle or Evan.
So by siblings they must mean…
“Dr. Tussaud, do you mean to say that Kyle and your daughters have the same mother but different father?”
Before Nicole could reply, Maya shook her head and responded, “No. We’re all biological siblings. Our daddy is the mean Evan Seet!”
Mean Evan Seet?
The way she addressed Evan amused and appalled Davin. Evan is known as the Cold Devil amongst his business peers. Who knew even children think of him the same way?
They even called him mean.
I wonder what the powerful Mr. Seet would think of being described in such a manner!
“Don’t speak that way, Maya.”
Nicole stroked Maya’s head and pulled her to the side. She looked at Davin with a hint of embarrassment.
“Children have no control over their mouth. Please don’t hold it against them. However, the fact is that Maya, Nina, and Juan are your brother’s children!”
Davin gazed at the three children in astonishment. He tentatively asked, “Dr. Tussaud, did you gave birth once or twice?”
“Once. They’re quadruplets.”
“Wow…”
Davin’s jaw fell open and he let out a shocked sound.
I can’t believe it!
Quadruplets! Go Evan!
If this is true, this has to be an earth-shattering revelation!
Trying to process this admission was overloading his brain.
“Dr. Tussaud, what’s going on? Please take your time to explain. Just how many children does Evan have? This is too shocking! This… This is…”
Davin’s head was spinning and he soon trailed off.
“I’ll go prepare some tea. Then I’ll tell you everything.”
Nicole quickly tried to formulate a way to elucidate the situation to him while getting him on her side. She needed to convince him to keep the existence of the three children a secret from Evan.
“Thank you doctor… I mean, thank you, sister-in-law!”
Hearing him call her sister-in-law put Nicole on edge.
“I think it’s best if you stick to calling me Tussaud. Or, you can also call me Ms. Lane.”
Ms. Lane?
Davin suddenly remembered his brother’s search for someone a few years ago. The woman he was looking for also seemed to be known as Ms. Lane.
I need to take my time to break this crazy situation down!
While Nicole was preoccupied with making tea, Davin pulled Juan into his arms. He hugged the child tightly.
Compared to Kyle, this boy is much more lovable.
When I thought Kyle was schizophrenic, I used to pray this cute and sweet side of him would persist!
“Call me Uncle Davin!” Davin pinched Juan’s chubby cheeks forcefully.
“Uncle Davin.” Juan happily called out.
He stretched out his hand to rub Davin’s face affectionately.
The uncle and nephew duo continued to playfully pinch each other’s cheeks. They were obviously enjoying each other’s company.
“Uncle Davin is biased! He only wants to play with boys and not girls.”
