Chapter 22: Chapter 22

“Yes, he has been napping in his room since an hour ago. Mr. Seet, do you need him?”

“An hour?”

“Yes, Ms. Tussaud had instructed me not to disturb him earlier, before she left.”

With that, Evan hung up almost immediately. He grabbed his jacket and swiftly made his way back home.

Meanwhile, Sofie flew into a fit of rage upon learning that Evan had hung up on her.

She was certain that Evan did not want her to know of his whereabouts. He must have been in the bar, flirting with some b*tch!

With such a thought in mind, Sofie hurried off to the bar in a huff.

Only daring to stand up after she had left, Kyle returned to Nicole’s car restlessly.

“Kyle, where have you been? You’ve scared the wits out of me!”

Since Nicole appeared to be anxious, Kyle informed her about the situation regarding Sofie.

“Sofie has just informed Dad about me. We have to leave now!”

What?

Nicole tensed up as she started to knead her hands together anxiously. If Evan finds out about it, he won’t allow me to even cast a step near Kyle anymore.

What shall I do now?

At that instance, her phone rang. She glanced at the caller’s ID before she had answered it, asking, “Juan, what is it?”

“Mommy, Maya has seen the other kids eating yogurt toast. She wants some too. Can you give me some money so that I can buy some?”

“Y-You aren’t at school?”

“The teacher at school has been teaching us stuff that I already know. I had promised you that I’d take care of Maya, right? I’m outside Hillside Villa now. Mommy, come on out!”

“Outside Hillside Villa? How did you get there?” Nicole was shocked.

“I had won an electric scooter from my friend! It’s the latest edition, so it’s cool and pretty swift!”

If Evan discovers that I’d brought Kyle out secretly, he’ll chase me out. Seeing that he is still sick, I can’t leave now.

Since Juan is currently outside Hillside Villa, there seems to be only one way out.

Meanwhile, a black Rolls-Royce drove into Hillside Villa’s garage.

The door opened to reveal Evan’s grim face; soon after, he immediately made his way to Kyle’s room.

Nicole, if I find out that you’ve taken Kyle out without my permission, I’ll skin you alive!

Meanwhile, upstairs, the butler, Blake, was slightly astounded to see Evan back, at such an early hour.

“Mr. Seet, why are you home this early?”

“Where’s Kyle?”

Blake was confused. “Kyle? He’s sleeping in his room.”

Evan ignored him and strode over to open the door, only to discover that it was locked.

Kyle had never once locked the door, even when he slept unless he was upset at him.

Something’s wrong.

Did Sofie really see Kyle? Then, did Kyle lock the door before climbing out of the window?

How ridiculous!

At that thought, anger blazed through Evan’s heart. He kicked the door open and barged into the room right away.

There was a lump on the bed beneath the covers. Evan reached out and pulled back the covers back to reveal a huge teddy bear.

Blake panicked instantly. “Err…”

“It must have been that foolish woman’s idea!” Evan gritted out.

Hmph! How could Daddy even yell at Mommy?

Juan, who happened to be changing his clothes in the closet, pouted in anger.

Momentarily, he pushed the doors open.

Blake was shocked by the noise, along with the kid’s sudden appearance.

“Kyle, why are you in the closet?”

Even Evan was astonished to see him. He frowned, as he studied the teddy bear on the bed. “Kyle, what’s going on?”
