In Evan’s opinion, there was no need for Chris to do anything because things were still salvageable for
him to make use of!
Chris earned their trust by agreeing to put on the show for Nina. At the same time, he could also use it to
turn Nina against her family by telling her that he was forced by Nicole and Sheila to pretend that he was
taken. With that, Nina would drift further and further away from her family and get closer to him in the
end.
Could Evan’s guess be correct?
Meanwhile, Nina was staring unblinkingly at the messages she had just received from Chris. From the
tone of his texts, she could sense his resignation. He asked for her forgiveness for what took place at the
cafe earlier and pointed out the fact that he was forced to be there. He also mentioned that he was
indeed not good enough for her, and he hoped that she could move on from him and find a better man in
the future.
Nina did not understand what he meant by saying that he was “forced” to be at the cafe. She could not
figure out why he said he was “indeed” not good enough for her.
There must be some underlying reason behind how he phrased that text, and Nina couldn’t wait to get to
the bottom of it.
Immediately, she sent him a reply: What do you mean by saying that you were forced to be there? I hope
you can clarify it.
After a while, she received a reply from him: Please stop asking me questions. All you have to know is
that your family is willing to do everything they can for your good. Please do listen to their advice in the
future!
My family?
What has this got anything to do with my family?
Frowning, Nina texted him again: I don’t understand what you mean! Did anyone in my family talk to you
before?
Chris responded: No, please don’t get me wrong. They are a bunch of nice people. It’s just that the girl
they introduced to me wasn’t exactly my type. However, I believe both of us will get to meet our right
partners in the future.
The girl they introduced to him?
Did my family set Chris up with that beautiful girl at the cafe?
Nina fell silent as she brooded over her chance encounter with Chris and his girlfriend at the cafe, and
she started doubting whether she really bumped into them by chance. The more she pondered over the
details, the more she was convinced that it was actually staged!
She asked Chris through a text: Did my family find that girlfriend for you? Was Daddy, Mommy, or Uncle
Davin and Aunt Sheila the ones who did that?
I only ran into Chris and his girlfriend because Uncle Davin and Aunt Sheila took me to the cafe. Did
Daddy and Mommy know about their plan? Or…
At that moment, Nina had a pressing urge to find out the culprit who came up with such an unscrupulous
plan to make her give up on Chris.
Chris: I can’t tell you anything about that. In short, you just have to know that your family are the people
who love you the most in the world! You have to listen to their advice!
After scrutinizing his messages, Nina noticed that her family had been mentioned quite frequently. Was
the encounter with Chris and that girl staged by them?
Did my family work together just to trick me?
Why? Why would they do such a thing to me? I don’t understand!
Nina held her phone in a tight grasp. Her mind was jammed with doubts and suspicions. How could
Daddy and Mommy, to whom I deeply respect, plot against me just because they don’t like the guy I’m
crushing on? Do they know how devastated I am after seeing Chris with his girlfriend?
Or, are they too self-centered to care about my feelings?
Feeling indignant, she put on a pair of slippers and marched out of her room to the master bedroom. Just
as she was about to knock on the door, she heard snatches of an ongoing conversation coming from
inside.
“Other than keeping an eye on Nina, we have to get someone to keep tabs on Chris too. Once we notice
any sign of him trying to get in touch with Nina, we will teach him a lesson so that he knows she should
back off! He will stand no chance of getting near to Nina again!” Davin snarled.
“I’ll get John to do it,” Evan said.
“I’ll keep an eye on Nina too. No matter what Chris might be up to, I won’t let him achieve what he
wants!” Nicole said with determination in her voice. She would not allow anyone to exploit her beloved
daughter and hurt her!
Nina was rendered speechless.
It was only after listening to the conversation between the trio did she believe the content of Chris’
messages.
They really conspired with each other against me!
