Kyle looked at him and asked, âAre we really gonna hand this to Mommy? I heard women love jewelry. What if Mommy likes Levant even more after receiving this?â
Juan thought about what Kyle said and agreed with it.
Heâs right. If Mommy likes Levant more and more, Daddy wouldnât stand a chance! We need to get both of them back together and live happily as a family! Still⦠This is a really beautiful necklace, and itâd be a shame if Mommy couldnât wear itâ¦
Juan suddenly had an idea. âI have a plan. Why donât weâ¦â He then turned towards Kyle and whispered in his ear.
âAre you sure? I donât think thatâs such a good ideaâ¦â Kyle asked.
âWhy not? If he can resort to underhanded means to steal Mommy over from Daddy, a necklace is a small price to pay!â
Kyle took a moment to ponder what he had just said. âYouâre right. Weâll go with your plan.â
With that, the two hid the box in their bedroom and brought the necklace over to Nicoleâs room.
âYes? What is it, boys?â Nicole looked at them curiously.
Juan handed the necklace over to her and said, âHere you go, Mommy! Itâs a gift from Daddy! He asked us to give it to you!â
Nicole was surprised.
A gift from Evan? Why would he give me a necklace? Is he trying to win me back by âbribingâ me? Hmph! Iâm not some gold-digger whose heart can be bought over with some fancy jewelry! In fact, Iâve never planned on getting back together ever since Iâve decided to cut ties with him!
âI donât want it, so give it back to him.â
Huh? But this necklace is so pretty! I canât believe Mommy doesnât want it!
âDo you not like it, Mommy?â
âNo, and donât ever give me any of his gifts again, okay?â
Oh⦠Mommy didnât like it because we said it was from Daddy⦠What do we do now?
âItâs late. Hurry up and get some sleep, you two.â
The two sighed as they left Nicoleâs room.
âWhat do we do with this necklace now? Do we return it to Levant?â Juan asked.
Kyle nodded. âWeâll return it tomorrow and tell him Mommy didnât like it.â
âAll right.â
The next day, Kyle and Juan were walking around the corridor looking for Levant.
Levant saw them as he came over to wake Nicole up for breakfast. âWhat are you two doing here?â
Juan held the box up to his face. âMommy said she didnât like it and told us to give it back to you.â
Levant froze.
Nicole was just talking about this jewelry designer the other day, saying how her designs had âsoulâ in them. I spent a huge amount of money on this necklace, and now she doesnât like it?
âMommy also asks that you donât give her any more gifts!â
That surprised Levant even more.
He observed them carefully and could tell that something wasnât quite right from the look in their eyes.
Did Nicole really say that, or are these kids just lying to me?
With a stoic look on his face, Levant took the box over and said, âAll right, Iâll take it back if your mommy doesnât like it.â
Then, with a dazzling smile, he began walking towards Nicoleâs room.
The two frowned as they watched him disappear around the corner.
âIs he going to see Mommy?â
âDidnât he say he was gonna take it back? Why is he bringing it to Mommy now?â
âDo you think he lied about that?â
As if they had realized something, the two ran after Levant, only to see him handing the box over to Nicole.
âThis is a necklace designed by that jewelry designer you liked. It is inspired by the concept of eternal love. Do you like it?â
