What the heck? Nicole was stunned.
She had no choice but to secretly exclaim. Sofie is really a tough nut to crack!
In order to avoid apologizing or reviewing the surveillance footage, she actually slammed her head against the wall until it bled.
When Sofie woke up at the hospital, she pretended that she remembered nothing.
Upon noticing Evan, she deliberately asked in excitement, “What happened? Evan, why are you here?”
Anthony doted on his daughter. Although he dared not complain to Evan, his intent was made very clear. After all, Sofie got injured at Hillside Villa. All his words pointed at the fact that Sofie was the victim.
Evan could not be bothered to explain. After the doctor said that there was nothing wrong with Sofie, and that she just needed to rest well, Evan left directly without saying a word.
Although her head hurt a lot, Sofie felt that it was worth it as long as she could still go to Hillside Villa.
Next time, I won’t be so stupid… Watch out, Nicole and the rest of the children!
When Evan returned to Hillside Villa, Nicole walked towards him briskly to ask about Sofie’s condition. “Is her forehead severely injured?”
Evan turned his head around and glanced at Nicole. “Why are you asking that?”
“I…”
As Sofie’s head was bleeding profusely earlier, Nicole thought that she should at least enquire about her.
Looking at how Nicole was at a loss for words, Evan replied coldly, “I’m afraid that you’ll be disappointed.”
“What do you mean?” Nicole lifted her head and looked at him in shock.
“She’s fine.” With that, he walked directly up the stairs.
Nicole’s worries finally disappeared after hearing that Sofie was fine.
However, when she ran both of Evan’s sentences through her head, she suddenly realized something strange. Did
Evan mean to say that I’m hoping for something bad to happen to Sofie?
“What do you mean? Who are you to say that about me?” asked Nicole, raising her head and glaring at Evan’s back as he walked up the stairs.
However, Evan had already gone far. Without turning around, he strode into his study room directly. What a jerk! He always misunderstands me.
Nina walked over and gazed at Nicole. “It’s none of your business what happened to that evil woman. After all, she banged into the wall herself. You don’t have to concern yourself with her matters.”
Nina’s words stumped Nicole. Yeah, perhaps I shouldn’t have asked. But Sofie sure is something, huh? She could control her strength so well that she would only bleed, but not hurt her internal organs. If this woman can bear to be ruthless to herself, the children and I must take extra precautions against her!
When Nina returned to the bedroom, Maya was just taking off her clothes. The latter then ordered anxiously, “Nina, shut the door quickly.”
Staring at her chubby stomach, Nina scoffed coldly, “Even if the door’s left open, no one will look at you.”
Maya raised her head and glanced at Nina as the latter continued teasing, “You look like a pig when you’re taking off your clothes. Who would want to look at you?”
Maya became unhappy when she heard that. “Nina, I’m telling you this seriously. Don’t call me a pig anymore.”
“But you look like one! Why can’t I say it, then?” Nina glanced at the chubby Maya. Then, she took off her coat and tossed it aside.
Furious, Maya yelled at her, “You’re the pig!”
I’m like a pig? What a blatant lie! Nina turned around to look at Maya. “I’m not a pig, but you are definitely one! What’s more, you’re a stupid and fat pig!”
“Y-You…”
How can she insult me like that? Unable to rebuke Nina, Maya glared at her furiously as tears brimmed in her eyes. The next moment, she burst into tears and sobbed loudly.
When Nicole, who had just returned to the adjacent bedroom, heard her wails, her heart skipped a beat. Thinking that something bad had happened, she sprinted to the girls’ bedroom quickly. “What’s wrong, Maya? What’s wrong?”
When Maya saw Nicole, she cried even harder. However, Nina had an innocent expression on her face. I only called her a pig. Does she have to cry so miserably?
“Maya, say something. What happened?”
“It’s Nina. Nina!” As Maya cried, she pointed at Nina and complained.
When Nicole turned around to look at Nina, the little girl quickly explained, “I just said that she’s a pig, then she burst into tears.”
Upon hearing what Nina said, Maya wiped her tears away and choked. “N-Not only did she call me a pig, but she also said that I’m a stupid and fat pig!”
“What are you talking about? I said that you’re a piglet. You cried without even hearing what I said clearly.”
When Nicole glared at Nina sternly, Nina immediately stopped talking.
When Evan heard her wails, he thought that Kyle and Juan were fighting. While passing by Maya’s bedroom, he overheard their conversation.
A rare smile appeared on his normally cold face. He even burst out laughing. Nina has a way of insulting people, huh?
When Nicole heard Evan’s laughter, she turned around and glared at him.
Then, she spun around to console Maya, “It’s your sister’s fault. I’ll make her apologize to you, okay?”
Maya sobbed miserably before looking at Nina. “She must apologize and promise not to call me a pig in the future.”
“You look like one, but you won’t even let me say it,” mumbled Nina softly.
“Nina! Apologize to your sister now! You’re not allowed to call Maya a pig anymore.”
“Mommy, I…” Nina was reluctant.
“You aren’t solving the problem at all.” Evan’s mellow voice suddenly sounded.
Nicole was already perplexed over how to coax the two arguing girls. Then, Evan’s words sounded like he was trying to stir up even more trouble. “Mr. Seet, this is between my daughters. You don’t need to involve yourself with this.”
“This is my house. I can say whatever I want,” said Evan casually.
Nicole scrutinized Evan again. His attitude gave her an urge to beat him up.
However, she was staying in his house. If she insisted on opposing the man, she might face negative consequences.
After all, Evan was a mean person who held grudges.
Having thought about it again, Nicole gave in and squeezed out a smile. “Then, Mr. Seet, how do you think we should solve the problem?”
“Naturally, we’ll have to solve the root cause!”
“What do you mean?”
Nicole looked at him in confusion.
“Tell Maya to make changes, so no one will have a reason to mock her anymore!”
“Make changes? Are you saying that Maya should lose weight?”
Lose weight? It’s Nina’s fault! Why must I lose weight? Maya widened her clear eyes in disbelief.
“Even if you can control what Nina says, can you control what others say? If other kids say the same thing about Maya, are you going to chase after them and force them to apologize to her?”
Evan had seen how Maya stuffed herself with desserts. Hence, he thought that it was time Maya practice a moderate diet.
After his words, Evan glanced at Nicole and left.
Nina scoffed coldly. I didn’t expect that meanie to say something so logical.
“Mommy, I think that he’s right.”
Maya looked at Nicole with a pitiful expression.
Nicole stretched her hand out and stroked Maya’s tiny head.
“Maya, let’s have lesser desserts in the future, okay?”
Holding her tears back, Maya nodded vigorously.
“Maya, when you’re as thin as me, I’ll apologize to you. You must put in your best effort, okay?”
“Just wait and see! I’ll be slimmer than you one day!”
Standing up with her chubby hands on her hips, Maya stared at Nina in determination.
“Okay, I’ll wait for that day to come,” replied Nina seriously.
Nicole heaved a sigh of relief. If Maya could control her diet and eat lesser food, it would be beneficial to her health too. This could be considered a good thing.
After tucking the two children in, Nicole exited their bedroom and closed the door gently.
