At Sophia’s mention of the wedding, Nicole realized that she was actually looking forward to it.

She too, hoped that she could one day stand side-by-side with Evan at the altar, showered with blessings from family members and loved ones.

She wanted to be known as Mrs. Seet, the rightful wife of Evan Seet, in the near future.

The next morning, Sophia had shown up at the door. Maya was slightly hesitant at first when she was told that they were going to the Seet Residence. But at the thought of being able to play with Davin and Sheila, her eyes lit up with a glow.

Juan was indifferent about staying over at the Seet Residence as he was equally fond of Davin and Sheila. It didn’t matter to him wherever they were heading to, as long as he’d get to have fun with them.

Nina, on the other hand, gazed worriedly at the wound on Nicole’s face. She wanted to stay back for her.

Kyle preferred to stay behind at the Imperial Garden as well for a different reason, he didn’t like Uncle Davin that much anyway.

Nicole thought that it would make no difference for Kyle and Nina to remain home as long as Maya stayed away for the time being.

“Alright, you both can stay home as you wish. Juan and Maya, go get your stuff ready and then follow Grandma to the Seet Residence.”

Maya began to doubt again when she realized Nina wouldn’t be going together. Seeing that, Sophia reached out and lifted the girl up in her arms.

“Maya darling,” she consoled her grandchild. “Why won’t you come with Grandma? I’ve prepared some beautiful gifts for you; they’re waiting for you at my house. Besides, you’ll get to spend quite some time with Uncle Davin and Aunt Sheila! They would love to play with you and take you out for shopping and yummy desserts. Besides, Grandpa’s been missing you a lot too!”
