“Go pack your stuff. John be will here to pick you up soon.” He told Juan after hanging up the phone.
Right now? Isn’t this a little too soon?
Evan then turned around and walked off before Juan could even respond.
Juan saw Maya and Nina come back inside and quickly told them what happened.
Maya stared wide-eyed at him. “Why is Daddy sending you off, Juan?”
“He’s probably afraid I’d cause that woman any more trouble!” Juan replied.
Nina snorted defiantly. “Daddy’s gone too far! How could he do such a thing?”
“We’re no match for that woman on our own, Juan!” Maya expressed her concern as well.
Juan let out a helpless sigh. “I was hoping to stay for a couple more days, but Daddy insisted on sending me off immediately. John is coming over to pick me up soon.”
Kyle came up to them and said, “You’ve always wanted to take your martial arts studies to a higher level, didn’t you? You should make use of this opportunity and give it all you’ve got!”
It was indeed Juan’s wish to do so, but he was worried about leaving Nina and Maya behind.
Kyle knew what he was concerned about and gave him a pat on the shoulder. “Don’t worry, I’ll take good care of them. Daddy’s doing this for your own good, Juan. You’ll come to understand that someday.”
Juan kept quiet.
He got a call from John shortly after telling him to get his bags ready.
“Alright!” Juan hung up the phone and went upstairs with Nina and Maya following behind him.
“We’ll help you pack, Juan!”
“Yeah! Just tell us what you need!”
“You two can start with those books over there.”
“Okay!”
Noticing how unhappy Juan was, Kyle walked towards Nicole’s room and knocked on the door.
“Daddy’s sending Juan off to continue his studies in a martial arts dojo, so he’ll be gone for quite a while.”
Nicole froze. Why is Evan doing this? Is it because of the laxatives they gave me?
She quickly called Evan and asked him about it. “Evan, why are you suddenly sending Juan away to some dojo?”
Evan replied, “That’s what he’s always wanted. I’m simply fulfilling that wish of his.”
Nicole took a deep breath. My heart, it hurts… Juan is leaving… My baby boy is leaving… No, I can’t let him leave feeling depressed like this!
Nicole sprang to her feet and scrambled to put on her makeup at the dressing table.
John arrived shortly after Juan had finished packing. Maya was tearing up as she helped Juan carry his luggage. “I’ll miss you, Juan!”
Juan pinched her softly on the cheek and said, “Maya, you’ve gone through a lot of trouble to lose all that weight. Don’t you be gaining it all back while I’m gone, okay?”
Maya nodded profusely. “Don’t worry, I’ll make sure to keep my diet in check! I’m gonna look as pretty as Mommy!”
Nina handed him a credit card. “Here, you can use my card!”
“No, you can keep it. I’ve got enough money with me, so don’t you worry! You got most of your money from Uncle Davin, so you should be nicer to him! I know he can be a bit of an idiot sometimes, but he’s really nice to us!”
