Is he here to visit me?
When Davin saw that Kyle refused to face him, he decided to brew a pot of tea and nag at him slowly.
The moment he exited the room, there was a click and the door was locked.
Davin simply chuckled. I have the spare key, my dear nephew. Lock the door for all I care!
He laughed as he imagined the look on Kyleâs face when he reentered the room holding a pot of tea.
Davin decided to confront Kyle in this manner and felt that he would eventually get through to him.
âButler, brew me a pot of tea!â
âAs you wish, Mr. Seet.â
When he reentered the room, he saw âKyleâ buttoning his shirt.
âWhat are you doing, Kyle? Are you preparing to strip and go to bed?â
âUncle, I was simply changing clothes. Then again, I wonât be going out, so I guess it doesnât matter what Iâm wearing.â
Uncle?
Davin nearly dropped the teapot in shock and he stared at âKyleâ with his mouth agape. He wasnât this friendly when I last came in here, was he? He looked as though I owed him eighty million earlier and told me to get lost! Thatâs a rather⦠extreme change in attitude!
Davin was perplexed.
What Davin didnât know was that he had returned earlier than the two of them expected. Juan had just climbed in from the window and explained his intentions to Kyle. As they exchanged clothes, before he could even button up, they heard footsteps, followed by the opening of the doorâ¦
Kyle quickly escaped from the window while Juan gave Davin the first excuse that came to mind.
Juan could not understand why Davin was staring at him in amazement. Weâve already switched clothes, so he shouldnât be able to tell.
He headed over to Davin and said, âUncle, the tea is going to spill. Would you like me to place that on the table?â
Did he just offer to help me? What happened to him picking a fight with me earlier? Why is he treating me so warmly and even attempted to help me?
Davinâs heart started to beat faster.
He questioned Juan, âKyle, are you alright?â
Juanâs eyes sparkled like the stars and he nodded innocently, âIâm feeling perfectly fine!â
Davin placed a hand on his forehead. Nope, no fever. But⦠Somethingâs definitely off.
His expression darkened and he connected the dots. That must be it! Kyleâs schizophrenia must be acting up again!
âUncle, whatâs wrong?â
âI-itâs N-Nothing. Have fun!â Davin said hastily and left.
His calm demeanor had vanished without a trace and he hurriedly dialed Evanâs number.
âEvan, youâd better come back! Somethingâs up with Kyle!â
âWhatâs wrong?â
âYouâll know when you get back!â
Evan paused and recalled how Kyle had not touched his dinner the previous night. Donât tell me he did something extreme!
He ended the meeting abruptly and rushed home. Davin warned him seriously, âOk Evan, donât ask anything. Just recall how Kyle was when you left him and compare it to how he is now. I wonât say anything. Youâll understand once you see him.â
Evan frowned and entered the room.
âKyleâ was fiddling with his iPad on the bed.
When Juan saw him, he recalled his motherâs injury and simply snorted. He continued playing with his iPad.
Thereâs nothing wrong with him! Heâs still at odds with me!
Evan headed to Kyleâs side and inquired gently, âAre you hungry?â
At that, âKyleâsâ stomach started grumbling.
He knew that direct resistance was futile. He planned to eat well and hack his way through the companyâs network to sabotage his father.
âIâm starving! I want to eat fried chicken and seafood!â
