Chapter 638

Stephen would not end up in that terrible state if it hadn’t been for saving the kids.

Nicole felt like she owed Stephen.

She suddenly felt the urge to call him “dad”, but she hesitated. She rubbed her fingers nervously as the
word “dad” went back down her throat just as it reached the tip of her tongue.

Nicole thought about her mother being dazed while looking at the sky, falling into depression, and living
a life in misery because of that man…

She knew that none of it was Stephen’s fault, but she still couldn’t get herself to call him “dad”.

John stepped forward. “Mrs. Seet, it’s time. I’ll take you and the children to the airport now.”

“Can I stay?” asked Nicole as she looked at Evan.

“No!”

“No!”

Evan and Stephen rejected her simultaneously.

Nicole stared at the two men. She understood what they were trying to do——it was too dangerous for
her to stay there and they didn’t want her to get hurt.

She could relate to their concern: she would also wish for her children to be far away from any
dangerous place.

“Both of you, be careful, okay? We’ll be leaving now.”



Nicole waved goodbye to the two men. The four little ones pouted. They weren’t happy about leaving,
but Evan had made things clear and they knew there was no point in arguing. Daddy has tons of ways
to force us to leave. Hence, the kids waved goodbye as well.

Stephen glanced at his daughter; he was very reluctant to see her leave.

Still, all he could do was pray silently in his heart. Please, God. Please keep Nicole safe and happy for
the rest of her life.

Nicole took her luggage. When she turned the corner with her kids, she vaguely caught Stephen’s eyes
reddening with tears.

She walked out of the hotel and took a deep breath before pausing.

“John, wait.”

Nicole turned to her children and couched down to whisper to them.

The kids turned to one another, not understanding why their mommy had asked them to do that.

“He sacrificed everything for the four of you, so you should do that for him. Go on now.”

The children were stunned; nevertheless, they walked back the way they came.

Stephen and Evan were strategizing their next move when the door to the room opened.

They shifted their attention to the entrance of the room, and Evan was surprised to see four tiny people
standing there.

“Did you forget something?”

The children shook their heads.



“Then why did you come back?”

The quadruplets walked to Stephen and bowed to him simultaneously. “Thank you for rescuing us,
Grandpa,” said the children.

Stephen was shocked beyond words.

The kids called me Grandpa?

The sudden surprise knocked Stephen off his feet. After taking some time to gather himself, he felt his
heart thumping with glee. He looked at his grandchildren and reached out to stroke their tiny heads.

“Good. You’re all such adorable kids.”

Too bad I’ve lost everything. I don’t even know what gift I can offer them now.

“The next time we meet, Grandpa will get you all an amazing gift.”

“Thank you, Grandpa.”

Evan smiled at his obedient and intelligent quadruplets.

Ambushing Stephen with an emotional bomb like that… Nicole must’ve been the mastermind behind
this.

Evan suddenly thought that in addition to being smart, his wife was also a master at tossing such
emotional bombs. I gotta praise her for this after I get home.

“Alright now. Off you go, kids. You’ll miss your flight if you stay any longer.”

The quadruplets nodded and bid their goodbyes again before walking out of the room single file.



Nina found it strange, so she asked, “Why did Mommy tell us to greet Sir Musgrave as grandpa?”

Kyle deliberated before replying, “Maybe he’s the dad that Mommy has been looking for, and that
would make him our grandpa.”

The mischievous Juan was taken aback and blurted, “Huh? In that case, don’t we have yet another
powerful figure backing us up?”

Maya thought about the luxurious estate and the army of servants and bodyguards there. It’s so nice to
have a grandpa that powerful.

“Haha, monsters and demons should move aside, for I have Grandpa next to me!”

Kyle was speechless.

And so was Juan.

And Nina, too.

All three of them turned to Maya and wondered, When did that plump idiot learn to exploit others?

Still, it was rather nice to have a grandpa that capable.

“But I feel that Grandpa is in trouble.”

“It’s fine. Daddy is here, so the issue will be dealt with soon.”

“Good point. We should listen to Daddy and go home. It’s been days since we last went to school, and I
miss our teacher and classmates.”
