Kyle sat there unmoving, his head filled with questions. Who was that woman earlier? Was that Mommy? If yes, why wouldnât she see us? Also, why is Mommy so skinny? Hmm⦠Maybe Daddy is the only one who has the answersâ¦
âHow about we go look for Daddy, Kyle? I bet we could all force him to send the bad woman away!â Nina suggested when she saw him keep quiet.
âWhat if it doesnât work?â Juan asked.
âThen that means Daddy has been completely seduced by her, and is no longer our Daddy! We will draw the line and stay with Mommy!â
âBut we havenât heard from Mommy ever since she left! Where do we even start looking? Do you think weâll get to see a dramatic ending where Daddy and Mommy both go with their lovers while we become kids with stepparents?â Juan asked, feeling dejected.
âNonsense! Mommy wouldnât do such a thing!â Nina retorted.
âThatâs right!â Maya joined in as well.
Kyle remained silent until Juan gave him a nudge and asked, âWhat are you thinking about, Kyle? Are you coming up with a plan to kick that bad womanâs butt? We should all do it together!â
Kyle shot them all a cold glare. âStop calling her a bad woman, and no kicking her butt either, got it?â
The three of them were taken aback by Kyleâs strange response. Why is he taking that bad womanâs side?
Kyle then got up and walked away, ignoring the confused looks on their faces.
Nina snorted angrily as he watched him go. âI bet heâs been bewitched by that bad woman or something!â
âDo you think heâs taking Daddyâs side because Daddy raised him?â Maya got mad too.
Juan kept quiet. Somethingâs definitely off about Kyle⦠He must have his reasons for thisâ¦
He ran after Kyle to press him for answers, but to no avail as Kyle kept a tight lid on his suspicions. Given how much of a blabbermouth Juan is, if I tell him that woman could be Mommy, the whole world would probably find out about it! Mommy and Daddy look like theyâre trying to keep this a secret, so I shouldnât ruin it for them.
âAre you kidding me? Youâre seriously taking that bad womanâs side? Do you also prefer skinny women now?â
Kyle looked Juan in the eye as he spoke, âYou call her a bad woman one more time, and Iâll tell Daddy how youâre flirting with girls in school! I bet heâll give you a good scolding and spanking!â
Juan froze for a moment. He then put on a more serious tone as he attempted to reason with Kyle, âHow could you betray me for a bad womanâ¦I mean, for a woman? Weâre brothers, Kyle!â
âSo what?â
F-Fine! So youâre really going to betray your family for a woman Looks like you really are a Daddyâs boy, Kyle! Juan thought as he stormed off angrily.
Kyle went into Evanâs study room and shut the door behind him. âThereâs something Iâd like to talk about, Daddy.â
Evan narrowed his eyes. âGo on.â
âThat woman from earlier⦠Was that Mommy?â
A look of surprise flashed in Evanâs eyes when he heard that. Did he recognize her? Kyleâs always had a sharp eye and keen observational skills as a kid. Looks like that hasnât changed at allâ¦
Kyle knew he hit the nail on the head when he saw how shocked Evan was.
âWhy is Mommyâ¦â
He wanted to know what happened to his mommy that made her so skinny.
