Kyle shot her a glare. âLook, Daddy says you have to do it by hand, and there will be no dinner if it isnât clean!â
Is Daddy punishing us for pranking that woman? This is unbelievable!
The three of them grumbled in frustration as they made their way towards the backyard and began picking the leaves up. Right as they were about to finish, a strong wind blew and they found the place covered with leaves again.
Having no other choice, they let out a sigh and cleaned the backyard up a second time. Juan wiped the sweat off his brow as he exclaimed, âPhew, itâs finally done⦠Now, letâsâ¦â
Before he could finish, another gust of wind blew past and scattered the leaves everywhere in the backyard once again.
âThis is ridiculous! Weâll never get it done at this rate!â Nina shouted impatiently.
Maya looked dispirited as well. âThe wind just keeps blowing it all back! Weâre gonna be at it till next morning.â
Juan gave it some thought and wondered if Evan was punishing them like this just to make them apologize.
âHow about we go apologize to Daddy?â He suggested.
âNo, I wonât!â Nina refused stubbornly. âThat woman just had some diarrhea! Itâs not a big deal or anything! Daddy didnât have to punish us like this!â
Juan shot her a cunning smile. âNo, Iâm not saying weâre in the wrong. Weâre just apologizing so we can stop this punishment.â
âNo way! I would rather go at this till morning than apologize!â Nina was adamant about standing her ground.
Ugh, sheâs as stubborn as an ox! I guess thereâs no point in trying to talk her out of this, thenâ¦
Juan turned towards Maya for help, but she said, âIâll stay here with Nina. After all, I am the one who added the laxatives.â
And Maya is as honest as ever⦠Fine, Iâll go apologize myself, then!
Juan saw Evan coming downstairs when he entered the living room and smiled while running up to him.
âThereâs something I need to tell you, Daddy!â
Evanâs face was set in a permanent scowl. The doctor said Nicoleâs body was weak and she couldâve died had she not been treated in time!
Thinking about that thoroughly scared him, he was itching to give those kids a beating.
Evan felt anger building up inside him and clenched his fists tightly as he glared at Juan, his gaze as cold as ice.
Juan felt his heart racing when he saw how angry his daddy was and apologized sincerely, âIâm sorry, Daddy.â
âOh, youâre sorry, eh? Do you know that your little prank nearly killed her, Juan? If anything happens to her, youâll regret it for the rest of your life!â Evan yelled.
Juan frowned in confusion. Whatâs Daddy talking about? Itâs just some laxatives! How could that possibly kill anyone? Even if it did, that bad woman had it coming! Itâs her fault for moving in here and seducing Daddy!
Evan stared Juan in the eye and saw that he was still unconvinced.
Judging by that defiant look, Iâm guessing he doesnât fully understand what I mean⦠Iâve got to put an end to their little pranks or Nicole could seriously die!
âJuan, you wanted to continue studying martial arts in the best dojo available, right? Daddy will make the arrangements so you can start right away!â
Huh⦠Why is Daddy making me leave all of a sudden? Is he worried that Iâd cause that woman any more trouble?
Juan looked up at Evan and asked, âDaddy, are you seriously kicking your son out because of that woman?â
Evan simply shot him a glance and kept quiet. Juan can think of it however he likes⦠Iâm sure heâll come to understand in the futureâ¦
He whipped out his phone and told John to make the arrangements.
