Evan’s eyes darkened. So Kyle plans on continuing the hunger strike all just to help Nicole?
“Just ignore him. He’ll have to eat when he’s hungry enough.”
Blake knew just how stubborn Evan was, and Kyle would just end up hurting himself by acting up like that.
How can a kid skip meals like that?
That night, Blake secretly made some chicken drumstick and fried prawns for Kyle after Evan had gone into the study room to work.
“Kyle, you should have some food. You’re still a kid, and your body is still developing, so you can’t skip meals like that.”
Kyle’s tiny lips pouted, and he took one look at the delicious chicken drumstick. In the end, he stubbornly instructed Blake to take everything away.
Blake sighed. There is no DNA test needed. These two are definitely father and son.
Blake had no choice but to leave the room.
The door had just been closed when Kyle’s smartwatch suddenly rang.
He quickly picked it up and saw that he had a message. He opened it.
Juan: Daddy is a meanie and he bullies Mommy! We must teach him a lesson.
After their Mommy got home, she made dinner for them, then went back to her room to copy the documents. She kept working and still hadn’t gone to bed, even though it was already late.
Juan peeped and saw that his Mommy’s eyes were reddened. She put some eye drops on them before she continued working. She worked overtime this afternoon and still has to work this late at night…
Someone must’ve forced her to do so!
Grandma personally got Mommy into the company, so no one but Daddy would dare to bully her!
That was how Juan came to the conclusion that his Daddy was bullying his Mommy.
Kyle: How do we teach him a lesson? I miss Mommy.
Juan: Daddy raised you, and you may feel bad for going against him, so let me do it!
Kyle: What are you going to do?
Juan: Let’s switch identities tomorrow. I’ll go to your kindergarten.
Kyle thought about how he could hang out with his Mommy and eat the delicious food his Mommy cooked if he switched identity with Juan…
Kyle’s eyes glowed as brightly as the stars in the sky before he agreed to the plan: Deal!
After making that deal, his tiny, proud face shone with a hint of joy.
Evan thought that Kyle was asleep, so he quietly opened the door to check on him. That was when he saw Kyle giggling at his smartwatch. Evan couldn’t help but frown. Is he talking to Nicole again? Oh, f*ck! Fine, I’d like to see what else could that woman get Kyle to do now since it is clear that a hunger strike won’t work.
The next day.
Davin was dropping Kyle off at the kindergarten that day, and he dashed out of the house as if his life depended on it.
Davin grinned at that tiny figure and sighed, “Awh, the kid likes school.”
Evan was sitting gracefully on the sofa with his legs crossed. His handsome face oozed immense darkness.
This is not about him liking school. This is about him not wanting to see me. He even had his back to me when he drank milk this morning, and he never took one look at me.
That was how upset Kyle was with Evan.
This kid got brainwashed by that woman so easily even though I have raised him. Shouldn’t our years together make me more important to him? She’s only been around for a few days!
Evan was undeniably depressed about it.
Davin saw how his brother was ignoring him, so he cleared his throat awkwardly before he left to chase after Kyle.
On the way to the kindergarten, Davin kept sneaking a peek at Kyle. That was the tinier version of Evan’s emotionless face, and it was Kyle’s usual style.
Davin hadn’t seen that cute, energetic side of Kyle in a while. Could it be… Is he cured?
Davin frowned a little. That’s too bad. I won’t hear his cute voice calling me uncle or praising me as the best anymore.
And he’s definitely not going to hug me without being asked or ambush me with a kiss on my cheek anymore…
Davin couldn’t help but sigh quietly.
Then he thought about it more. Hang on, it’s healthy for Kyle to not show any signs of having a split personality disorder! Darn it, what kind of uncle would hope for his nephew to be mentally ill? I am such a jerk!
The car soon arrived at Grant Kindergarten.
Davin told Kyle to be careful when getting out of the car and advised him to get along well with the other kids. Kyle ignored all that and left with his backpack. He didn’t even look back!
He’s still as distant towards me as he always has.
Davin’s heart hurt, and he suddenly had a weird idea. How great would it be if there are two Kyles? One would be all cool and proud while the other can be playful and energetic…
You idiot! You may want two nephews, but your brother doesn’t have twins!
Davin chuckled mockingly at himself before he drove away.
Evan went to work. He had just gotten out of the elevator when he saw someone standing by his office door.
She is standing over there… did she come all the way just to wait for me?
Evan paused. He later continued walking in that confident and sexy manner.
When he walked past Nicole, he heard her greeting politely, “Mr. Seet.”
He frowned and stopped.
What trick is this woman playing? Or did she get so tired from copying the document that she’s acting up?
“What’s up?” asked Evan calmly.
Nicole handed him the documents that she spent an entire night copying. “Please check.”
Evan turned around and accepted the documents. He flipped through the thick files. That woman actually copied everything? She didn’t work all night, did she?
Evan scanned her and saw her bloodshot eyes. She put on some make-up to conceal her weariness, but it was still plain to see that she worked the entire night. Evan was surprised, and shock zipped past his eyes.
Hmm, she is going all out just to work beside me, huh? You won’t give up until you get what you want. Is that it? Okay, fine! I’d like to see just how much you can endure.
“They are not good enough. Redo,” said Evan while wearing no emotions on his face.
Nicole wasn’t surprised to hear any of that. Her exhausted face even lit up with a faint smile upon hearing his order.
Evan stared and wondered if he saw it right. Is that woman smiling even though she is asked to rewrite everything? Why would she do that?
Nicole’s red lips mocked him at the very next second. “Mr. Seet, a resignation letter is placed within these documents, yet you never noticed it. I guess you must have paid attention when you read it,” said Nicole sarcastically.
She deliberately put emphasis on the words ‘must have paid attention’ to highlight her sarcasm.
Evan only flipped through the pages because he had already decided to get her to rewrite everything. Thus, he never really looked carefully.
In other words, it didn’t matter how good her handwriting was. Her handwriting could be better than the printed version, and Evan would still ask her to rewrite the whole thing.
She obviously saw that coming. That’s why she deliberately hid her resignation letter within the documents. She’s probably not serious about resigning, though. Otherwise, she wouldn’t have spent the entire night writing the documents. She could’ve just skipped them and only type out the resignation letter.
“Nicole Lane, what do you mean by your resignation letter?”
“Obviously, it means that I am resigning.”
“Resigning? Why spent the night rewriting everything if you’re going to resign anyway?” asked Evan as he stared at her in surprise.
Nicole looked into his eyes and scoffed, “Because I want to know how far you would go just to make things difficult for me. You never even read anything before you asked me to rewrite repeatedly. Mr. Seet, this is your doing, and you should keep that in mind.”
Nicole spoke softly, but her tone was dead serious.
I-is she saying something else? Is there a hidden message somewhere?
Nicole later got the handwritten documents from Evan. She had spent the entire night rewriting it, but rip! She tore those documents up without any hesitation. One after another… until everything was in pieces.
She then tossed those shreds in the air, and they danced like snow on a beautiful winter night.
Evan narrowed his eyes. This woman spent the entire night writing everything, then tore them apart herself. What game is she playing?
Evan was still trying to figure it out when Nicole turned around and walked away gracefully.
She was cool, determined, wild, and free.
