Chapter 347

Considering how she’s seeking a partnership with these scums with hidden agendas shows that she
has bad judgement.

The waiter walked in and served several delicious fish dishes to them.

“Please enjoy your meal.”

Kyle and Juan looked at the table filled with food but neither salivated nor rushed to tuck in. Instead,
they paid more attention to the opposite room.

Evan caught them looking, and he ordered, “Eat up!”

The twins reluctantly picked up their chopsticks and dug in.

While they ate, they occasionally glanced at the room opposite.

One could tell from their faces that they were eagerly trying to see their mother.

Nicole drank a few glasses of alcohol in a row and wanted to bring up the topic of their new project.
However, the man beside her kept interrupting, finding various ways to encourage her to continue
drinking.

“Sir, I have reached my alcohol tolerance. Let’s talk about the project. Is Lane Corporation suitable to
take it up?” Nicole said.

“I’ll assume that you have no sincerity if you do not drink up. If you want to do business, you have to at
least prove your sincerity, Ms. Lane, let’s have another toast.” The man insisted as he lifted the glass
and passed it to Nicole.

Juan and Kyle were worried, and they whispered among themselves, “Will Mommy get drunk?”



“I think she will. That big bad guy keeps giving her more.”

“He probably thinks that Mommy is pretty and wants to take advantage of her, so he is finding all sorts
of excuses to make her drink.”

“Exactly! Look at how smitten he looks. He keeps staring at Mommy.”

The more the twins spoke, the more worried they became. Evan’s expression darkened.

To him, it was Nicole’s choice after all. Therefore, he forced himself to think that it was unnecessary to
worry.

Sternly, he urged Juan and Kyle, “Quickly finish up so we can head home soon.”

The twins looked at each other.How can we go home now? What if Mommy gets drunk?

Then, they exchanged looks and had a tacit understanding. Lowering their heads, they chewed on their
food slowly, trying to extend their mealtime.

Evan narrowed his eyes and glared at Juan.

Juan could clearly finish the fish meat in a bite. However, he deliberately divided it into several parts
and only ate after cutting them into such small pieces that he could barely pick up with the chopsticks.

“Are you trying to eat like an ant?” Evan questioned.

Juan laughed then explained, “Daddy, there is a saying that goes like this. One must eat slowly to enjoy
the food. I am just following it.”This rascal is still talking back to me.

Evan snorted coldly.He has such a glib tongue. He must have inherited it from his mother.

Then, he turned to Kyle, who went between sniffing the dish and taking a bite.



“Kyle, why are you eating like that?”

Kyle’s reasoning was even simpler. He coolly looked at his father and retorted, “Daddy, some say that
when you eat or sleep, you should not talk, so you should not be speaking to us now!”

His cold and dominating aura was a double of Evan’s.

Evan choked and looked at the mischievous twins. He knew that they were doing this because they
were worried for their mother.Maybe it is not a bad thing to let them see Nicole drunk. They will realize
that she is not the good mother they think she is.

Evan did not rush them anymore and continued with his own meal.

In the opposite room, Nicole was already intoxicated. Feeling dizzy, she supported her forehead with
one hand. Her curled hair rested on her shoulders, and her rosy cheeks made her look even more
charming.

“Ms. Lane, have one more glass!”

Nicole waved her hand in protest. “I really can’t have anymore.”

After she spoke, she could feel her head spinning, and she groggily leaned against a chair.

Suddenly, several people in the room got up and left together after exchanging a few words.

Only Nicole and the man, who kept feeding her drinks, were left in the room.

The man tapped her shoulder and said, “Ms. Lane, shall we continue with more drinks?”

Nicole struggled to open her eyes and she could barely see the outline of the man’s face in her drowsy
state. She shook her hand and repeated, “No, I had enough to drink.”
