“You’re my wife, so I must protect you at all costs,” Evan said.

“I understand everything now. I would like to ask Sir Musgrave why my mother was so fond of him, since my mother isn’t around anymore,” Nicole said, sighing.

“Alright then. I’ll keep you company tomorrow,” Evan promised.

“Sure,” Nicole said. “We should go home after this. Seet Group and Lane Corporation are still waiting for us.”

At that moment, Evan realized just how considerate of a person Nicole was.

In order to return home without any regrets, they absolutely had to settle things with Sir Stephan, Nicole’s biological father.

Evan had his suspicions that Nicole agreed to meet Stephen purely for the sake of their family businesses, but he decided not to dwell on that thought for too long.

He pulled Nicole into his embrace gently, as though she was some sort of precious treasure.

Nicole traced circles on his broad chest, sending shivers down his spine.

“Are you up for it?” he asked, grinning.

Nicole glanced at him and shook her head, pretending to be disinterested in what he had just suggested.

“Then why are you tickling me?”

“Let’s do it.”

Evan grabbed her wrist and stared into her eyes like how a predator would ogle at its prey. “You should have said it earlier!”
