Knowing that Nicole was a ruthless woman who lied compulsively, Evan would never agree to let Kyle near her.
“How about Uncle Davin or John?”
Seeing how his father disagreed, Juan decided not to bring his mother up again as it would only make his father hate her even more.
I guess it’s time to think of another way to bring daddy and mommy together.
Even after a moment of silence, Juan did not give Evan a definite answer, so Evan gave him a day to think about it.
On the other side, Kyle went home with Nicole who thought that he was Juan.
To avoid detection, Kyle tried to be as lively as he could. He even tried to smile more whenever he was talking.
Because of Maya and Nina’s chattering, Nicole did not pay too much attention to Kyle. That was also because ‘Juan’ was usually the one who worried Nicole the least.
After lunch, Nicole sent ‘Juan’, Maya, and Nina back to their kindergarten, where the teacher had the students practice their hands-on ability.
It was a walk in the park for Kyle who got pretty good at playing Lego. In just a short while, he managed to build all kinds of sports cars and even a picture of his daddy and mommy.
Maya could not help but be amazed at his work, “You’re awesome, Juan!”
Lowering his head to snicker, Kyle wondered if he was so good at pretending to be Juan that even Maya did not notice anything wrong.
Nina was also surprised by how much faster ‘Juan’ got at building Lego and wondered when he learned to do that.
What was more surprising was the fact that he built people and sports cars instead of the robots that Juan liked so much.
In the end, ‘Juan’ won the first place in class and was rewarded with a small, red-colored flower and a box of cranberry-flavored cookies.
Greedy little Maya licked her lips as she stared at the box of cookies, “That box of cookies is delicious. Mommy’s got us one before.”
Noticing how his sister was preying on his cookies, Kyle smiled softly as he generously gave it to her, “Here, this is for you!”
Maya excitedly accepted the cookies, “You’re the best, Juan! The best brother in the world!”
Even though he was not actually Juan, Kyle felt great about being called ‘the best brother in the world’ nonetheless.
Just when Maya was about to start eating after tearing the box open, Nina approached ‘Juan’ holding her arms, “Can we share the cookies? It’s not good for Maya to have too much sugar. She’s already fat enough. A fat girl!”
“I am not! Not a fat girl!” defended Maya before rolling her eyes at Nina.
Pouting, Nina continued to stare at Maya, “Said the meatball!”
“You… You’re the meatball! You’re a meanie and a jerk… and… and you’re…”
Maya was getting frustrated that she was at a loss for words.
Seeing his sisters fighting, Kyle frowned at the thought of how unworthy it was to fight over a box of cookies, so he had an idea, “You two can share this box for now. I’ll get you guys more when we get home.”
At first, Maya was still a little reluctant to share. She only decided to hand the cookies over when she was told that they could get more.
The two started to divide the cookies piece by piece but found the last piece to be extra. While Kyle was scratching his head over the extra piece, Maya suddenly grabbed it and split it into two uneven halves. She then quickly ate the bigger half before gleefully handing the smaller one to Nina.
Ignoring Maya’s ‘generosity’, Nina gave her a look before handing out her portion of the cookies to the other kids.
Those who were given cookies happily shared their own snacks with Nina who also shared them with ‘Juan’.
Kyle was very happy to see the snacks given by the other kids.
Seeing how all the others are sharing, Maya decided to share her cookies too, and she got the biggest candy for it.
She wanted to give the candy to Kyle, which made him even happier, but he put it into Maya’s mouth instead.
“This candy is so sweet! Thank you!” Maya showed her appreciation with her widest grin.
At that moment, Kyle realized how much he envied Juan for being surrounded by two adorable sisters and so many friendly classmates.
How Kyle wished to stay as ‘Juan’ forever and never go back to Grant Kindergarten.
Meanwhile, Juan could not help but sigh as he continued with Kyle’s punishment to stand in class at Grant Kindergarten.
He was curious about what Kyle could have done to anger Ms. Patty so much that she’s punishing him for six days.
After standing up for a few minutes, Juan raised his hand, “Ms. Patty, my legs hurt. I can’t do this anymore.” With a pout on his face, Juan tried to seem as pitiful as he could.
Ms. Patty gave him a look before ridiculing him coldly, “So your legs hurt, do they? Do your hands not hurt when you’re hitting others with them?”
Who did Kyle hit?
Kyle may be proud, but I don’t think he would hit anyone unreasonably.
As surprised as he was, Juan decided not to talk back to Ms. Patty since he did not know the whole story.
By asking Kyle’s classmates after the class, Juan found out that Kyle was only hitting the other kids because they were calling his mother a ‘madwoman’.
How dare they call mommy a ‘madwoman’! I would’ve hit them too!
While those kids were playing, Juan deliberately stepped into the middle of them.
“Get lost! You’re in our way!”
Juan then raised his head arrogantly and looked at them provocatively, “This is a public place. I can stand wherever I want!”
The kids glanced at each other and decided to deal with ‘Kyle’ the same way they did last time, so they started to call his mother a ‘madwoman’ again while they ran off to the teacher’s office.
They were hoping to get ‘Kyle’ in trouble with Ms. Patty again.
Kyle, who just recovered from a serious illness, could barely catch up with the healthy kids, but not Juan.
Having practiced taekwondo since he was much younger, Juan caught up with them easily before punching the fastest and loudest kid in the group.
“Ouch, that hurts! My nose is bleeding.”
Out of their expectation, ‘Kyle’ seemed different with his quick actions.
The other kids started to tremble with fear but Juan was not about to spare those who bullied Kyle and talked bad about his mother.
Juan clenched his fists as the others got ready to take him down as a team. In the end, Juan only got two scratches on his face while the others lay on the ground with bruised noses and swollen faces.
“Talk bad about my mother again and you’ll get my fists!” warned Juan with his arms akimbo.
After getting up from the ground, the kids ran as fast as their legs could carry them over to the teacher’s office.
Juan knew that even if they did not complain to Ms. Patty, she would eventually find out when she saw their faces.
They can complain all they want. I’m not afraid!
Soon, the kids who were beaten came back for ‘Kyle’ with Ms. Patty.
“You’re hitting others again? This is outrageous!”
“I only hit them because they talked bad about my mommy, Ms. Patty.”
“That doesn’t mean you can hit them! No matter what, it’s not right to hit others!”
“Well, what if someone deliberately provoked you and called your mommy names? Do you just let them, Ms. Patty?”
“Why would they call your mother names for no reason? And why was it just your mother, not everybody else’s? That’s because both you and your mother have issues! Look at you! I’m sure the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree.”
Furious, Ms. Patty was trying to come up with the perfect way to punish ‘Kyle’ and appease the kids’ parents.
More importantly, one of them happened to a relative of the Head of Grant Kindergarten, and was someone they couldn’t afford to cross!
After listening to what the teacher said, Juan finally understood why Kyle had been constantly punished.
How dare they call Mommy unreasonable?
It’s clearly the teacher who is being irrational and difficult!
He rolled his eyes in indignation. “It’s got nothing to do with my Mommy! I was raised by my Daddy! He’s the most reasonable person in the whole wide world!”
Kyle had indeed been raised by Evan.
So now that he was “Kyle,” he naturally had nothing to be afraid of.
“Ha! Your daddy? Look at what a terrible job he did in raising you! I bet he’s a complete fool!”
Juan’s eyebrows furrowed in shock. This teacher is just too obnoxious! How dare she not only call my Mommy unreasonable but also say that my Daddy’s a fool?
If Daddy ever finds out…
