“Kyle, we’ll have to switch back. Mommy’s going to Hillside Villa tomorrow to take care of you.”
“When and where then?”
“This afternoon, I guess. It depends on the situation. Don’t worry, I’ll call you.”
“Okay!”
After lunch, Davin excitedly left the Seet Residence with “Kyle” in tow, bringing him out on the promised outing.
On the way there, Juan kept asking where they were going, but Davin just remained annoyingly secretive.
“Oh, stop asking! You’ll like it, I promise.”
So mysterious?
Juan could only continue wondering.
Davin’s car sped along on the wide road. Juan found himself suddenly worrying that Kyle might be unable to meet him wherever they were going if Davin went too far.
Thankfully, their destination was not very far. Davin parked his sports car properly before turning to look at Kyle smugly.
“Well, Kyle, I bet you’ve never been here before!”
Juan took a closer look at the place. It turned out to be the famous water park in town.
He overheard his classmates talking about the place a few days ago, claiming that it was the best place to have fun. Juan was moved enough that he was about to beg his Mommy to bring him there, but he had never expected Davin to bring him here first.
Juan was so excited that he hugged Davin’s leg, clinging onto him like a koala bear. “Uncle Davin, you really are the best uncle in the entire world!”
Hearing Juan’s adoring praise, Davin’s eyes lit up at once. He bent down to scoop the happy boy into his arms. “Come on, I’ll carry you inside!”
Juan clung onto his neck happily, kissing his neck without a second thought.
Looking at the boy, Davin felt delirious happiness blossoming in his heart. His oldest nephew was too charming for his own good.
Davin resolved to let the boy have the time of his life today. Carrying “Kyle” in his arms, he charged into the park.
After they changed into their wetsuits, Juan proceeded to enjoy himself immensely. He went boat rowing with Davin before engaging in a furious water gun battle with him.
As someone who loved playing in the water, Juan was far happier being here than in an amusement park.
Seeing how happy Juan was, Davin was even happier and he followed him around willingly. He was content to accompany Juan to play with whatever he wanted.
Soon enough, Juan remembered that he was supposed to switch places with Kyle. He knew he had played enough, and his twin deserved to have some fun as well.
Slipping away to use the washroom, Juan quickly called Kyle. After that, Juan played with Davin some more while waiting for his twin.
When Kyle arrived, Juan found another chance to slip away, hurrying to the washroom when Davin was distracted.
“Here’s the wetsuit, Kyle! Hurry up and put it on!”
Kyle looked at the wetsuit with a frown of distaste. He did not want to wear it at all, but there was nothing he could do now except to grit his teeth and put it on.
“Go on, then. I’ll go back to accompany Mommy.” Juan smiled, waving goodbye to him.
Kyle nodded, walking towards the water park.
As soon as he entered the door, he saw Davin sitting on a boat, playing with two water guns looking happier than a child.
“Idiot!” Kyle said fervently. He walked up to Davin, looking at him with an expressionless face.
“Hey, Kyle, you’re back! Come on, let’s finish them off together!” Davin offered him one of the water guns.
“I want to go home!” Kyle snapped coldly.
Davin started to suspect that his hearing had failed him. He looked at Kyle with a frown. “What did you say?”
What’s the matter with this kid? Oh… his face looks upset. Did anything happen?
Davin hurriedly got up from the boat, walking over to show some concern. But as soon as he approached him, Kyle suddenly snatched one of the water guns in his arms and started shooting at his face.
The first stream of water hit Davin squarely in the face. Sputtering as he wiped away the water, Davin hurriedly turned his back as Kyle continued shooting. “Kyle! Why are you shooting me in the face? We don’t do that!”
“Because I want to!” Kyle shouted petulantly. He did not stop shooting. When Davin presented his back to him, Kyle just aimed for the back of his head instead.
“Kyle!” Seeing that he was not stopping, Davin reluctantly started shooting him with the other water gun.
Kyle suddenly hurled his water gun at Davin before running away quickly.
The heavy gun smacked into Davin’s body, eliciting a loud groan of pain from him. Davin braced a hand on his bruised waist gingerly. “Damn it! Kid, are you crazy?”
When he looked again, Kyle was gone.
“Kyle! Kyle!” Davin shouted, looking around frantically.
At this moment, Juan returned to the water park for the pendant he forgot. Hearing Davin’s calls, he walked over to him. “Uncle, what’s wrong?”
“Kyle, don’t just run away like that! You’ll get lost!”
Juan nodded obediently. He looked at Davin with a confused expression. “Did you fall into the pool, Uncle Davin? Why is your hair wet?”
Did I fall into the pool?
Davin scoffed, “Kyle, you did this and you hit my waist real good too.”
Juan blinked in surprise. This has to be Kyle’s fault.
But where is Kyle?
He looked around nervously. Kyle was nowhere to be found. The crowd of people in the water park was big enough to make Juan worry about Kyle.
“I’ll go get you a towel, uncle.” Juan hurriedly spun an excuse, leaving to look for Kyle.
In the few minutes that Kyle was gone, he managed to find a larger water gun. The gun was heavy enough that it could not be carried and needed two people to pull it.
Making sure Davin was in range, Kyle requested the two helpful men who had helped him pull the water gun earlier to mount the gun on the stand. With a devious grin on his face, he proceeded to open fire at Davin.
Davin swore loudly. “Who the hell is spraying me?”
Jerking his head around, Davin saw Kyle having the time of his life as he handled a water gun larger and taller than him. Kyle pulled the trigger again, and a torrent of water descended on Davin’s head like heavy rain.
Seeing Davin soaked and disheveled, Kyle shouted happily. “Is this fun, Davin Seet?”
Davin Seet?
The brat’s calling my full name just like that?
Davin had to restrain the urge to give Kyle a good thrashing as the little brat hosed him like a stray cat again and again.
This isn’t playing with water! This is playing with my life! Davin ducked and dodged the best he could, but Kyle still managed to get him every time. The torrent of water seemed to follow Davin no matter where he ran, soaking him from head to toe.
Kyle only stopped and ran when he exhausted the water supply in the water gun.
By then, Davin was thoroughly drenched and wet. He stood dazedly in the pool, disheveled.
Suddenly, he returned to his senses when he heard someone calling him “uncle”. Davin lowered his head slowly, seeing “Kyle” return with a thick towel.
“Come on, uncle, you’d better dry off.” It was Kyle.
Davin frowned. Kyle had soaked him within an inch of his life just now, but now he was offering him a towel as if nothing happened. The brat had been gleefully using his full name earlier but now he had gone back to being respectful.
What is this kid trying to pull?
“Kyle, you brat! Have I been treating you far too nicely? Look at what you’ve done! I’m more than a drowned rat now – I am a drenched dog!”
Juan was surprised as well. He wondered if Kyle had some unspeakable grudge against his uncle.
But…
He looked up at Davin, staring at his uncle with two gleaming dark eyes. “Is there a difference between a drowned rat and a drenched dog?”
“Rats and dogs are different, okay?” Davin fumed, snatching the towel from Juan, and started to dry his face and hair. “Kyle, I’m warning you. Don’t ever do anything like this again!”
Juan nodded vigorously, reaching for the wet towel after Davin was done with it and setting it aside thoughtfully.
While he was putting away the towel, he saw Kyle stealthily moving towards them.
Juan’s heart jumped into his throat. If Davin saw two Kyles standing together, their secret would be exposed.
No way!We can’t be exposed!
