Chapter 156

“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!”
