Chapter 300

After his question, Evan stared at Nicole with his deep-set eyes as he felt conflicting emotions inside of
him.

Having seen almost anything, Evan was still somehow nervous as he waited for Nicole’s response.

Nicole’s mind was racing as she tried to figure out all the possible outcomes.

If I admitted to drawing them, Evan will definitely continue to ask how I knew what the sceneries looked
like.

And if I tell him that I was the little girl all those years ago, he’ll definitely freak out!

The person he once wanted to protect the most has now become the one he hates most.

Nicole was suddenly filled with a sense of bittersweet.

I should preserve the fondness he has for the little girl and keep her the way she is in his memory.

So I should just keep it to myself.

“It wasn’t me. They’re already like that when I picked them up. I only ask Nina to color them.”

Evan’s eyes darkened a little, for he was sure that he did not draw those sceneries.

Those details were not even there when Nicole asked him about the drawings back then.

Noticing that Evan was not completely convinced, Nicole continued to throw him off the trail, “I put them
back onto the stone table after picking them up for the first time. They were different the second time I
found them a few days later. I don’t know who drew them.”

Nicole put them back?



Could it be Sylphiette who drew them then?

She was the little girl from before, who’s familiar with the scenery, so it would make sense for her to be
able to complete the drawings.

But something still doesn’t sound right.

“Since you put it back, why did you pick it up again?”

“Because… Because I appreciated what was added to the drawings and I thought it would look nice
with colors, so I took them home to let Nina practice her art,” explained Nicole with all seriousness.

Silently, Evan walked back to the sofa because he had to admit that there was nothing wrong with
Nicole’s explanation.

However, the matter still did not sit right with him.

Just beside the sofa, Maya rolled her eyes hard at Nina again for betraying her.

Pouting as she turned to Juan, “I don’t think you should buy the new materials for Nina. She’s mean.”

Not happy with Maya’s actions, Nina rolled her eyes back at Maya.

Maya took mommy’s most treasured items out and showed them to evil daddy. Of course, I have to tell
mommy.

Nina thought she was in the right to tell her mother what happened.

After tucking the two girls into bed, Nicole tiptoed to Kyle and Juan’s bedroom and quietly pushed the
door open.

She was surprised to find Evan in the room stroking Juan’s little face with a fatherly smile on him.



Never thought I’d see his ice-cold face smile.

Just when she was about to take a closer look, the smile on Evan disappeared as he got up to leave
the room.

Nicole then walked to the bed where the boys were sound asleep in. Her lips curled up as she watched
them sleep.

After staying for a while, she tucked the blanket properly for them and tiptoed out of the room.

Nicole was about to go to the study when she heard Evan’s mellow and sexy voice, “Do you have
wine?”

Startled, she turned to look at Evan, “No.”

“I’ll buy one.” Evan was getting ready to leave before Nicole questioned his decision, “Are you sure? It’s
pretty late.”

Evan glanced at Nicole before responding, “I’m not used to others owing me.”

It was not until Evan asked Nicole to pour out the bottle of wine he brought back that she understood
what he was saying.

It turned out that Evan was referring to the third glass of wine that Nicole did not finish pouring for him a
few days ago.

It was a thousand for three glasses, but they did not get to the last one because Evan broke the bottle.
Nicole wanted to give Evan a refund of four hundred, but he did not accept.

I did not expect him to actually want to claim it back.



What a cheapskate!

“It’s just a glass of wine, Mr. Seet. You still remember that?”

“Of course! I have an excellent memory!” exclaimed Evan who was determined to get his due.
