Chapter 269

Rocky grinned and claimed it was just a random question he had in mind.

“We don’t need the place to be too big. We prefer somewhere near mommy’s workplace.”

“Okay.”

Nicole felt like things weren’t as simple as Rocky claimed. He rarely spoke about his family when the
two of them studied overseas together.

As such, Nicole actually didn’t know much about his past.

The car drove to Summervale.

Rocky turned and saw that Nicole was flabbergasted. He spoke softly, “We’re here.”

Summervale was an upscale location, and anyone who could afford a place there had to be pretty rich.

Nicole didn’t expect the place to be so luxurious, so she turned to Rocky uneasily.

“This place must be expensive, and you could earn a lot if you rent it out. You’d endure a huge loss if
you let us live here for free. How about I pay you rent?”

“I’ve said that you can stay here, and I mean it. Also, friends don’t talk to each other about rent. Let’s
go check it out and see if you like it.”

Nicole suddenly thought that she was pretty dumb. People who can afford to buy a house over here are
not going to sweat about rent.

Rocky must be rich. That’d explain why he didn’t care about the salary offered by the clinic.

Nina loved the place, and she walked ahead happily with Rocky.



Nicole thought about how she didn’t have anywhere else to go, so she tilted her eyes down. She held
Maya’s chubby hand before following along.

“You can decorate however you like or renovate it if the place doesn’t suit your style.”

The color theme of the house was grey with white, which highlighted the owner’s unique taste.

The living room was spacious, and there were three bedrooms, so it was more than enough for Nicole
and her daughters.

Nicole turned to Rocky. For some reason, she felt like he wasn’t as simple as he seemed.

“You are actually letting us stay in a place this great…”

“I’m just glad you like it. You don’t need to feel like you owe me anything, okay?” said Rocky, who then
left to buy her some daily necessities.

Nicole felt a little bad about everything.

Rocky placed the essentials aside and handed her the key before suggesting, “There’s an art class
near the place, and the kids can have lessons there during the weekends.”

“I see. Thank you.”

“You stay and unpack. I’ll go to the clinic and deal with everything there, so you don’t need to worry
about it.”

“Thank you,” said Nicole again. She honestly didn’t know what else to say.

Rocky was helping her out when she was at the lowest, and that made her feel uncertain and warm at
the same time.



After Rocky left, Nina and Maya scanned every room. They found the place to be weird and weren’t
sure which room to choose.

Nicole then suggested that they choose a room then repaint it pink to make it a princess-themed
room. They would love it if it’s all pink and pretty.

“That’s a great idea, mommy.”

“When will Kyle and Juan join us here, mommy?”

Nicole’s heart gripped when she thought about her sons. I wonder how my boys are right now…

Nicole got up and fished out her phone to call the boys.

Juan picked up the call immediately when he saw that it was from his mommy.

The first thing he did was brag about how good he and Kyle had been, and how much their
grandparents adored them. After that, he asked, “Uncle Davin said that you are no longer living in the
Rose Garden. Do you have a place to stay?”

“Yeah, we do. Mommy, Nina and Maya have moved to Summervale, and the environment here is great.
The house is pretty good, too. I’ll go take you boys over during the weekend.”

“Okay, mommy. We will be good boys so that we can get back to you as soon as possible.”

“That’s my boy. Mommy trusts you both.”

I will also work hard and fight to bring you both home.

Nina and Maya later took the phone over and chatted with their siblings for a while before hanging up.



Juan, the mischievous chubby thing, turned to Kyle and said, “I sense danger.”

“What?” asked Kyle coolly.

Juan looked around before saying mysteriously, “Do you remember the time when we had a meal with
Uncle Rocky? Remember how I told you that Nina wants Uncle Rocky to be our stepdad?”
