She snorted angrily and did not even touch the card in Evanâs hand before storming off to the bedroom.
Evan frowned. This girl is sure grumpy like Nicole.
But sheâs also very determined. She didnât want the money given for free.
Still, he carried Juan and strode toward the door. Just as he reached the door, he bumped into Nicole who was hurriedly coming home.
As soon as Nicole saw him, she stretched out her arms to stop him.
âYou canât take Juan away. You canât do this.â
Juan heard Nicole calling his real name and immediately signaled her with his eyes rather worriedly.
âDaddy is bringing Kyle back to the Hillside Villa. Iâll come back to visit Mommy soon.â
âKyle?â
Evan squinted. Why is Juan calling himself Kyle?
âWho are you again?â
Juan was afraid he would accidentally reveal the truth when he saw Evan staring at him with a frown, so he quickly said he was Kyle.
Kyle?
Evan sank into deep thoughts.
âJuan, he is already aware of your existence, and he knows youâre Juan. He wants you to leave me now.â
Juan was shocked.
How did Daddy find out?
He looked at Evan in disbelief and asked, âYou⦠You know that Iâm not Kyle?â
âYouâve disguised as Kyle?â
Juan stuck his tongue out. Oh yes, and even more than once or twice.
Evan looked at his mischievous face and suddenly understood the truth behind Kyleâs dual personalities and his schizophrenia.
It was the result of the alternation between Kyle and Juan.
Kyle was aloof and taciturn; Juan was lively and dynamic. Two children with different characters.
Thinking of this, he shifted his gaze toward Davin who had suggested that Kyle had schizophrenia.
He must have known all of this.
Davin caught the questioning glare from Evan and pretended to look up at the roof. This has got nothing to do with me.
Why is he looking at me?
You didnât even realize your son was disguising himself as your other son. What has that got to do with me?
Juan reached out his hand to touch Evanâs face with a grin and said, âDaddy, since youâve found out that Iâm Juan, I wonât have to pretend to be Kyle anymore.â
Evan turned to Juan and nodded while he replied, âLetâs go home with Daddy and you can play with Kyle.â
âNo!â
Nicole strongly opposed to that.
How could this b*stard, Evan, take away the child she had raised all by herself?
âHe is my son. I have the right to take him away from a woman like you.â
Evan was determined to bring Juan away.
âDaddy, Mommy has raised me on her own all this time. I canât leave her; I need to be with her.â
âJuanâ¦â Nicole was touched.
The gleam in Evanâs eyes dwindled.
âJuan, I wonât let you live under such circumstances. Youâd only suffer with her. Look at this place. Itâs totally unsuitable for a child.â
âI⦠Evan, if you hadnât 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?â
âYouâve brought that all on yourself. You should pay for it!â
âIt was because of you I had to do thatâ¦â
Only then did the kids suddenly understand it was Evan who had caused Nicole to change their lifestyle and living standards.
Nina couldnât take it anymore. She came up to Evan and asked with her hands on her hips, âHow could you say itâs not good for Juan to live with Mommy? She dotes on us! We wonât let you take Juan away from us!â
She stretched out her arms to block Evanâs 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.
âEvan, sister-in-law, please stop it!â
âWho in the world is your sister-in-law?â
âWho are you calling your sister-in-law?â
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 heâs here to take away my child! What kind of a man is that?
âIâm warning you, donât address me that way ever again! No one wants a man like this!â
