“Daddy, Mommy has raised me on her own all this time. I can’t leave her; I need to be with her.”
“Juan…” Nicole was touched.
The gleam in Evan’s eyes dwindled.
“Juan, I won’t let you live under such circumstances. You’d only suffer with her. Look at this place. It’s totally unsuitable for a child.”
“I… Evan, if you hadn’t made me lose hundreds of thousands, how could I have fallen into such a situation? How would I even let my child live in such a house with me?”
“You’ve brought that all on yourself. You should pay for it!”
“It was because of you I had to do that…”
Only then did the kids suddenly understand it was Evan who had caused Nicole to change their lifestyle and living standards.
Nina couldn’t take it anymore. She came up to Evan and asked with her hands on her hips, “How could you say it’s not good for Juan to live with Mommy? She dotes on us! We won’t let you take Juan away from us!”
She stretched out her arms to block Evan’s path like Nicole did.
Looking at the tense situation, Davin was worried about the possibility of a fight if Evan insisted on taking Juan away from Nicole.
He thought it was time for him to come into play.
I must not let them make the situation worse.
“Evan, sister-in-law, please stop it!”
“Who in the world is your sister-in-law?”
“Who are you calling your sister-in-law?”
Evan and Nicole turned to him and asked discontentedly at the same time upon hearing what he just said.
This b*stard Evan had just deliberately let me go and now he’s here to take away my child! What kind of a man is that?
“I’m warning you, don’t address me that way ever again! No one wants a man like this!”
Evan sneered at her words, “I’ll break your legs if you ever say something like that again. Woman like you disgust me the most!”
Davin’s heart skipped a beat. It’s all my fault!
“How dare you! You’re the disgusting one, bastard! Give me my child!”
“In your dreams! He’s my son!”
“I gave birth to him!”
“Yea, and who put him in your tummy?”
“You… pervert!”
Nicole reached out to grab Juan, but Evan quickly picked him up and walked away, refusing to let her take him.
“Evan. Ms. Lane. How about we listen to the kid’s opinion first?”
Evan looked at Juan. “If you come to Hillside Villa with me, I will agree to anything you ask for.”
“Juan, if you go with him, you’ll never see me again. I’ll be sad.”
Juan’s eyes lit up. “Daddy, will you really agree to anything I say?”
“Yes! As long as you come with me,” replied Evan firmly.
Nicole felt her heart jump to her throat as Juan pondered about it.
“Then I want mommy to come with me,” declared Juan.
Hearing that, Davin snapped his fingers. “This is a good idea!”
This kid is so clever! If that happens, it’s easier for me to match Evan and Ms. Lane together. I won’t have to put in the extra effort. I’ll ask for credits from mom and dad when the time comes.
As Davin started to imagine about the both getting together, Evan threw him a warning look. And in just a matter of seconds, he instantly lost his joy.
“How about something else?” asked Evan as he turned to look at Juan. “Other than that, I’ll say yes to anything you want.”
“Okay. Just now I said I want mommy to go to Hillside Villa with me. Now, I want mommy, Maya, and Nina to join me!”
“Pfft-” Davin held in his laughter. He covered his mouth with one hand and gave a thumbs up to Juan with the other. This little brat is so mischievous! I like him!
Evan’s face darkened after hearing that. When he was about to ask him to change the condition again, the kid beat him to it. “Mommy says it’s important to keep one’s promise. You already said that you’ll agree to anything, so please keep your words, daddy.”
Evan could not find any words to refute him.
Nicole will be going to Hillside Villa with those two cheeky girls. My head is already pounding by thinking of how chaotic it will be. However, if I disagree, Juan definitely will not come with me. Not only that, but he’ll also think that I’m turning back on my words, and that’ll affect his impression of me.
With that in mind, Evan had no choice but to agree to Juan’s request.
“Fine,” he said through gritted teeth.
“Mommy, daddy agreed! You can meet Kyle every day now!”
Nicole felt uneasy knowing that this was an involuntary arrangement.
Judging by Evan’s temperament, if she really went with the idea, he would not let her live in peace.
I don’t even know what he’s going to do to me.
“Nicole, stop worrying about the consequences. My mom will be back soon. I’m sure she’ll help you,” Davin whispered in her ear.
The truth was, he did not know when Sophia would be back, but he did not want to let this golden opportunity go to waste.
Nicole stared at him as her mind drifted back to all that Sophia had done for her. In the end, she reluctantly agreed.
Juan could not hide his delight when he heard her answer. Our family will be reunited at last!
Little did he know, this reunion would come with undeniable turmoil.
The maids were perplexed at the sight of the duo arriving home with their children.
As soon as they saw Juan, they began to whisper among themselves about how the former resembled Kyle.
The butler, Blake Lewis, who was recuperating, also wondered what was happening when he heard the whispers all over the villa.
Usually, the maids would only pay attention to the news of Evan having an affair with some upper-class socialite.
Unless… Something good happens?
Blake hurriedly rushed to the living room to check out the buzz. When he entered the living room, he was stunned to see Kyle and Juan standing next to the couch, smiling at one another.
I never knew Kyle can be this happy. That’s great to see.
He let out a pleasant smile.
Wait, why are there two Kyles?
He rubbed his eyes and looked again. Juan just so happened to bend down to pick up a Lego on the floor behind the couch.
Oh. My eyes must’ve deceived me.
While he thought to himself, Juan stood up again with the Lego in his hand.
W-wait. There are two Kyles indeed.
They looked exactly like each other. Even their clothes were the same.
Blake closed his eyes and opened them again.
“Mr. Seet!” He suddenly shouted, “Something’s wrong with my eyes. I need to take a few days off.”
His voice caught Juan and Kyle’s attention as they turned to look at him. The former stuck out his tongue and made a face at him.
Both of them had teased Blake so badly last time that he thought he was sick. Juan felt rather bad for that.
This time, after seeing Blake’s shocked expression. Kyle started explaining in all seriousness, “Blake, I told you you’re not sick! Juan and I are biological twins!”
Brothers? I’ve worked in Hillside Villa for ages. I’ve never heard of Mr. Seet having two sons.
At this time, Evan came down the stairs and saw him. “You saw it clearly the last time. There is nothing wrong with your eyesight. It was all the kids’ doing.”
Blake froze before asking, “Mr. Seet, since when did you have another son?”
