Although Nicole had resolved to remake the spaghetti, Maya refused to give her another chance. Maya continued wailing, demanding that Evan come over and make her spaghetti right now.

“Maya, why don’t Mommy make you something else? What else do you want to eat?”

“I don’t want anything else! I want Daddy’s spaghetti!” Maya wailed. Her tears spilled down her cheeks like strings of ginormous pearls.

Nicole felt both sorry and helpless.

Evan had been quite clear on the fact that he would never tell anyone his spaghetti’s secret recipe. There was no way Nicole could ask him to come over and make dinner for Maya now.

She turned to her screaming daughter. “Maya, don’t cry anymore! Mommy will make it taste exactly like Daddy’s spaghetti, alright?”

“No! I want Daddy to make it for me!”

Just as Nicole was panicking, there was a loud knock on the front door.

Nina ran to open the door. The next second, Juan and Kyle shot through the doors and dashed into the kitchen.

“Mommy!”

“Mommy!”

The two boys were very close to Nicole. They ran over to her and wrapped their arms around her legs.

Nicole wondered why the boys were here. Just as she opened her mouth to ask them, the door swung open again. A huge figure appeared in the doorway.

It was Evan.
