Chapter 75

“How about… grouchy?” suggested Maya as her clear eyes shone.

Juan turned around and stared at Maya in astonishment. That nickname is pretty accurate. Juan was
tempted to give Maya a big thumbs up, but Nina’s deadly glare scared him into keeping his arm down.

Nina refused to admit defeat. She retaliated, “Fine, I’ll accept the nickname grouchy if you also change
your name from Maya to piggy.”

“You’re the piggy!”

“No, you are! The one who likes snacks is the pig!”

“Alright, alright, stop it! Juan, keep an eye on these two. Also, girls, I will confiscate your things if you
keep arguing like that.”

Nina had her eyes on her beautiful trinkets while Maya stared at her delicious snacks. Neither of them
wanted to have their things confiscated, so they turned to one another. They were in sync when they
rolled their eyes at one another before shutting up.

The room was finally quiet.

Nicole left the house in a hurry and got to Hillside Villa.

She was about to go hang out with Kyle when Sophia walked over with a curious expression on.
Sophia held Nicole’s hand as if they knew each other well.

“So how is it? Is Evan nicer to you now?”

Nicole wasn’t used to being that close to Sophia, but she didn’t feel right retracting her arm either.
Nicole thought about it for a while before reporting honestly, “He was surprised to see me this



morning…”

Surprised and disgusted, that is. He even told me to f*ck off.

Nicole left that part out because she knew that Sophia could guess it, anyway. Sophia was a little
stunned to hear that. Nicole then added, “I went to my place this afternoon because I left some stuffs
there, and he had gone to work by the time I got back. I haven’t seen him since.”

They haven’t seen each other since this morning? thought Sophia.

“Did you cook for him?”

“Yes.”

“Did he eat the food? Did he say anything?”

Nicole shook her head and replied, “I wasn’t there at that time, so I have no idea how he acted.”

Sophia turned to Blake, who reported that Evan loved Nicole’s cooking and asked for a second helping
of rice.

“I was worried that Mr. Seet would refuse to eat, so I didn’t tell him that Ms. Tussaud was the one who
prepared the dishes, though.”

Sophia couldn’t help but laugh aloud. She was amused so she turned to Nicole and said, “Interesting…
Hah, that son of mine has always discriminated against you. How embarrassed do you think he’d feel if
he learned that you are the one who cooked those delicious dishes? And the timing is perfect too. After
all, he can’t act like an a*shole once he found out that he has accepted your kindness and gift…”

Nicole was flabbergasted as she stared at Sophia. I-is she coming up with ways to kick Evan’s a*s?
Holy… just how playful are these two towards one another?



A moment later, Sophia returned to reality. Her eyes shone with revelation when she looked at Nicole
and asked, “Ms. Tussaud, what other skills do you have aside from practicing TCM? Have you ever
worked in an office before?”

These two spend too little time together, which will result in their relationship progressing too slowly.

As far as Sophia was concerned, she must not let any opportunity slip out of her fingers, and she had
to get Tussaud and Evan madly in love with one another.

Nicole deliberated for a while before answering, “I can translate texts.”

When Nicole first started learning TCM, she had to study foreign medical data, so she took a language
course. She already had the basics down before she started her course, but she wasn’t fluent then.

However, Nicole was confident with her foreign language skills after completing her course.

“Translation? Okay, that’s not bad,” murmured Sophia as she nodded. After that, Sophia dragged
Nicole to the mall to pick out some formal outfits.

Nicole wasn’t used to Sophia’s aggressive style, so she was a little troubled by her “kindness”.

Sophia is really going all out for her son’s sake. She’s not going to back down or let me off.

When Sophia went to pick out more clothes, Kyle chimed in and helped his grandma, “Hmph, Daddy
has always seen you as inferior. You should kick his a*s and teach him a lesson!”

Kyle’s words stirred Nicole, who was reluctant at the beginning.

However, Nicole didn’t reply Kyle.



The grandmother and grandson worked together and finally got Nicole to change into the formal outfit
that Sophia picked out.

Nicole was a little nervous when she walked out of the changing room. Her presence by the Hillside
Villa that morning had already upset Evan, and she didn’t know how he would react to her going to his
workplace.

Nicole couldn’t even imagine how furious Evan would look.
