“Is Kyle home?”
“Yes, he has been napping in his room since an hour ago. Mr. Seet, do you need him?”
“An hour?”
“Yes, Ms. Tussaud had instructed me not to disturb him earlier, before she left.”
With that, Evan hung up almost immediately. He grabbed his jacket and swiftly made his way back home.
Meanwhile, Sofie flew into a fit of rage upon learning that Evan had hung up on her.
She was certain that Evan did not want her to know of his whereabouts. He must have been in the bar, flirting with some b*tch!
With such a thought in mind, Sofie hurried off to the bar in a huff.
Only daring to stand up after she had left, Kyle returned to Nicole’s car restlessly.
“Kyle, where have you been? You’ve scared the wits out of me!”
Since Nicole appeared to be anxious, Kyle informed her about the situation regarding Sofie.
“Sofie has just informed Dad about me. We have to leave now!”
What?
Nicole tensed up as she started to knead her hands together anxiously. If Evan finds out about it, he won’t allow me to even cast a step near Kyle anymore.
What shall I do now?
At that instance, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller’s ID before she had answered it, asking, “Juan, what is it?”
“Mommy, Maya has seen the other kids eating yogurt toast. She wants some too. Can you give me some money so that I can buy some?”
“Y-You aren’t at school?”
“The teacher at school has been teaching us stuff that I already know. I had promised you that I’d take care of Maya, right? I’m outside Hillside Villa now. Mommy, come on out!”
“Outside Hillside Villa? How did you get there?” Nicole was shocked.
“I had won an electric scooter from my friend! It’s the latest edition, so it’s cool and pretty swift!”
If Evan discovers that I’d brought Kyle out secretly, he’ll chase me out. Seeing that he is still sick, I can’t leave now.
Since Juan is currently outside Hillside Villa, there seems to be only one way out.
Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce drove into Hillside Villa’s garage.
The door opened to reveal Evan’s grim face; soon after, he immediately made his way to Kyle’s room.
Nicole, if I find out that you’ve taken Kyle out without my permission, I’ll skin you alive!
Meanwhile, upstairs, the butler, Blake, was slightly astounded to see Evan back, at such an early hour.
“Mr. Seet, why are you home this early?”
“Where’s Kyle?”
Blake was confused. “Kyle? He’s sleeping in his room.”
Evan ignored him and strode over to open the door, only to discover that it was locked.
Kyle had never once locked the door, even when he slept unless he was upset at him.
Something’s wrong.
Did Sofie really see Kyle?Then, did Kyle lock the door before climbing out of the window?
How ridiculous!
At that thought, anger blazed through Evan’s heart. He kicked the door open and barged into the room right away.
There was a lump on the bed beneath the covers. Evan reached out and pulled back the covers back to reveal a huge teddy bear.
Blake panicked instantly. “Err…”
“It must have been that foolish woman’s idea!” Evan gritted out.
Hmph! How could Daddy even yell at Mommy?
Juan, who happened to be changing his clothes in the closet, pouted in anger.
Momentarily, he pushed the doors open.
Blake was shocked by the noise, along with the kid’s sudden appearance.
“Kyle, why are you in the closet?”
Even Evan was astonished to see him. He frowned, as he studied the teddy bear on the bed. “Kyle, what’s going on?”
Barely managing to change into Kyle’s clothes after coming in, Juan found that he had no time to deal with the teddy bear.
He hesitated, “I had merely hugged it while I was sleeping. Can’t I do that much?”
“You had hugged it? Kyle, you hate having other stuff on your bed when you sleep.”
Err…
Oh, so Kyle has that habit?
Juan scratched his head.
“Well, people do change! As of now, I like hugging it to sleep. It’s fluffy and cute. I can pinch it or cuddle with it, especially when I’m upset. That will certainly make me feel much better.”
Making such a statement, Juan made his way towards the bed. Pulling the bear into his arms, he demonstrated what he had meant.
Both Evan and Blake furrowed their brows, upon seeing how he had pinched and cuddled the teddy bear.
Evan knew Kyle well. His son was not a person who would act in such a manner,
“What’s wrong? Is this not fun? Wanna try it for yourself?” Juan suggested as he made an effort to push the teddy bear towards them.
Evan shot him a suspicious glance before taking the teddy bear from him. “Do you feel better now?”
Juan was secretly thrilled. This is the perfect opportunity for me to praise Mommy!
“I feel much better now. Dr. Tussaud certainly works miracles! Look, I’m so energetic now!”
He even went as far as to kick his little legs out, in an effort to display his little muscles.
Blake was surprised at his reaction.
“Mr. Seet, it truly seems like Dr. Tussaud is really a miracle doctor! She had healed Kyle and had even brought him into merry spirits.”
Evan’s eyes narrowed at his words. He studied his son, who had suddenly seemed strange to him.
Kyle isn’t usually this talkative.
Why does he seem like a different boy altogether, today?
However, that’s certainly my son. He resembles me.
Juan felt uncomfortable under his intense gaze. His little heart began to thump rapidly. I need to do this well. I can’t let them find out the truth, lest Mommy gets scolded.
He scratched his head pitifully before tugging at Evan’s top. “Daddy, can I sleep some more?”
Mommy loves it when I act adorably.
This will work on Daddy, too!
Evan lowered his gaze and stared at his son.
Kyle had never once been so enthusiastic before. He had also never acted so petulantly. Hence, Evan was unaccustomed to his son’s childish behavior, which was seemingly abrupt.
“Sure. What do you want for dinner? I’ll ask the chef to prepare it for you.”
“Um, I want – ” Juan trailed off.
He didn’t even know what Kyle’s favorite food was. What should I say?
“Kyle, just mention it. I’ll ensure that the chef prepares it for you, just as you have wished for!” Blake urged.
