Chapter 3 His Lookalike

  • “Evan, this kid is plain rude. She won’t apologize even after bumping into me. Just look at her...”
  • Evan tipped his chin down to glance at Nina. She was fair-skinned, and her clear eyes had a stubborn glint to them.
  • With her head still lowered, Nicole peeked at Evan, who was staring intently at Nina, all the while praying that he wouldn’t perceive the similarities between Nina, Maya, and her.
  • God help me! Please!
  • She muttered a silent prayer under her breath.
  • Juan, who noticed how odd his mother was behaving, followed her line of sight and studied Evan with slightly narrowed eyes.
  • That’s weird.
  • This man... kinda looks like me?
  • Juan’s curiosity was piqued. He was about to walk forward to examine his lookalike more closely, but Nicole caught his arms before he could take a step. She then fished out a child-sized mask and hastily covered his little face with it.
  • My dear boy, please don’t cause me any trouble!
  • If Evan sees your face... It’ll all be over! You’ll lose your beloved Mommy forever!
  • Even though Juan couldn’t understand the intention behind his mother’s actions, he didn’t go any further. Hence, allowing Nicole to pull him tightly towards her.
  • “Is this your child?”
  • Evan’s deep and magnetic voice almost caused Nicole to jump out of her skin.
  • She nodded stiffly but did not dare make a sound for fear that he would recognize her voice.
  • “You should discipline your child from a young age, or she’ll grow up to become an uncivilized person!”
  • “Who are you to say that? This lady was the one who spoke rudely to Maya first! If she didn’t go around bullying kids, I would’ve said sorry ages ago.”
  • After that, Nina raised her chin and returned Evan’s gaze without a trace of fear in her eyes.
  • “This child of yours is a feisty one, huh!” The young woman standing beside Evan gaped at Nina with a startled look on her face.
  • Evan’s mouth lifted slightly around the edges. This little girl seems to be very well-spoken, and her headstrong personality reminds me of someone.
  • She reminds me of...
  • At that thought, he peered even closer at Nina’s snowy-white face.
  • Then, he transferred his gaze to Maya.
  • Finally, his eyes fell upon Nicole, who was covered from head to toe.
  • These two children look so similar to that woman. Could their mother be...
  • Nicole looked up just then. When her gaze met with Evan’s keen ones, her grip subconsciously tightened on Juan’s clothes.
  • Evan’s gaze deepened, and he strode towards Nicole. Every step he took filled her racing heart with dread.
  • Oh, God! What should I do?
  • What if this bastard insists on seeing my face?
  • She could hear her rapidly beating heart that was going to fly out of her chest any moment now.
  • Evan came to a stop right in front of her and fixed her a penetrating stare.
  • It’s over. It’s all over.
  • I’m done for!
  • “You-”
