How should I weasel my way out then? When she looked around her pigsty and thought of the problems she had to face, Nicole thought she was really down on her luck.
âMs. Lane, Itâs time for me to send Kyle back to the villa.â
Although Nicole was reluctant to part with Kyle, she had no choice. âKyleâs downstairs. Iâll go with you.â
When they came up to the kids, Kyle was still playing happily with Nina and Maya. When John said that he would be taking him back, Kyle refused. âIâm not going back!â
âKyle, I know you love your mother and you donât want to get separated from her. But if Mr. Seet finds out youâre gone, heâs going to look for you. Once he sees you here, your mother will be in trouble.â
The mention of trouble befalling Nicole made Kyle worry, and he looked at her.
âGo with John, Kyle. Iâll visit you when I can.â
Kyle hesitated, but he eventually gave in to his desire to keep his mother safe. He then followed John to his car.
Maya was equally sad to see him go, and she teared up. âMommy, when will Kyle come to play with us again?â
Nicole patted her head. âSoon,â she assured her.
âKyleâs your son! Evan canât keep him away from us! If it were up to me, Iâdââ
âNina, stop. Why did you sabotage Evanâs office?â
Nina was baffled. How did mommy find out about it?
âNever do that again. Itâs dangerous.â This was the first time Nicole said something to her so sternly.
Disgruntled, Nina mumbled, âEvanâs a jerk. I just want to teach him a lesson.â
Maya blinked at her sister with her big, round eyes and stuffed her mouth full of bread. âI think heâs a jerk too, Nina. He canât keep Kyle away from us. Take me with you next time. Iâll come up with some cool sabotage ideas.â
âYou coming up with ideas?â Nina rolled her eyes. âForget it. Youâre just going to be dead weight.â She then left Maya alone, who looked hurt after hearing her sisterâs comment.
Maya puffed her cheeks. âMommy! Ninaâs a meanie!â
At the same time, Nicole finally realized that Juan wasnât the only brazen kid here; her daughters were too. She patted Mayaâs head again and decided to teach her kids to stay away from Evan after Juanâs return.
At Hillside Villa, when Juan received Nicoleâs call and found out that Kyle was on his way back, he started thinking about a way to leave the villa secretly.
Blake came to refill his milk. âI made this per your request, Kyle. Have a taste.â He smiled.
âAlright. Iâll be taking a nap after this. Donât disturb me unless anything happens.â
âYes, Kyle.â
Juan took the glass of milk and finished it before wiping his mouth. He then went back to his room.
Blake looked at the empty glass and sighed. Kyle seems to be happier these couple of days. He eats, drinks, and sleeps on time.
After Juan returned to Kyleâs bedroom, he looked outside the window. When he saw that there was nobody outside, he climbed out quietly.
Despite Juanâs attempt at moving as stealthily as a cat, he was still seen by Davin, who was driving back to Hillside Villa.
âKyle?â Whatâs that brat trying to do? He looks suspicious. Davin observed curiously.
After coming out of the villa, Davin saw âKyleâ found a place to hide as he called for a taxi. Is his schizophrenia acting up again?
A while later, âKyleâ leaped out of the bushes and darted ahead. Wanting to find out what was going on, Davin turned around and followed him. Not far from where he was, a taxi was waiting for its passenger.
After âKyleâ got into the taxi and left, Davin followed closely behind. He was determined to see what âKyleâ was up to.
