Chapter 1350 I Will Protect You
After he had finished prattling, Juan turned to Kyle and questioned, “Say, do you think my conjecture that she deliberately approached Grandma makes sense?”
Kyle jerked his head to the side and glowered at him. “You’ll have plenty of opportunities to interact with her soon, so you can verify that yourself!” As soon as he was done speaking, he slammed the car door shut with a bang.
At that, bewilderment suffused Juan.
He seems rather livid. What’s wrong with him? Hmm… How baffling!
When they had returned, Nicole considerately inquired about their blind dates.
With a grim expression on his face, Kyle declared that he didn’t fancy his date before storming upstairs.
Seeing that, Nicole frowned. He seems to be rather morose. Does he really hate the girl?
“What about you, Juan?”
While propping his face with a hand, Juan narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully replied, “I’ve got to interact with her a bit more before I can tell for sure.”
“In that case, do your best! I’ve got confidence in you!”
“Me too, Juan!” Maya seconded at the side.
Juan then turned to her and suddenly asked, “Do you have a boyfriend, Maya? If you don’t, Grandma will introduce one to you.”
“I don’t, and I’m not interested either!”
“Is that something you can arbitrarily decide? Kyle and I didn’t want to go on our blind dates either, but we still had to listen to Grandma and went, no? Just you wait. You’ll be next. I wonder what kind of boyfriend she’ll find you. Perhaps she’ll get you someone from the same industry!”
“From the same industry? You mean, someone who also owns a food plaza?”
“It won’t necessarily be that, but he definitely has to be a foodie who loves to eat. Only then will you both match! Isn’t there a saying that couples should complement each other? I think he might not necessarily be a good cook, but he’ll certainly be someone who eats well. Then, you can cook delicious food for him every day!”
Upon hearing that, Maya looked him up and down. “Juan, I realized that you’re getting increasingly sharp-tongued. You’re my brother, so shouldn’t you be hoping that I don’t have to do anything? If my future boyfriend really coerces me into cooking for him every day, you should also side with me and seek justice for me, warning him not to order me around. That’s how a brother should act toward his sister! No brother thinks as you do, hoping that I’ll be a maid every day and serve my man!”
Juan turned it over in his mind. “Hmm, that makes sense. I’ll commit it to memory, so don’t worry. At that time, I’ll protect you.”
“I’ll protect you as well, Maya!” At the side, Joy, who had just come downstairs, gazed at Maya while blinking her big eyes.
Strolling over in delight, Maya leaned down and pinched her dainty face. “Aw, you’re so good to me! What would you like to eat, then? I’ll cook for you!”
“I’ll protect you too, Maya. I want to have a fruit platter! Will you prepare it for me?” Zayden asked with wide obsidian eyes.
Maya contemplated for a moment before she answered, “Sure! Wait for a moment. I’ll go and prepare a fruit platter. When it’s ready, you two can share it.”
“I want to eat, too!” Luke, who was descending the stairs, chimed in.
“Okay, you three share it, then.”
Subsequently, Maya went to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Juan stared at the three children.
Uncle Davin and Mr. Levant are really stoic. Their children have been staying at someone else’s house for a week now, but they’re still not coming over to pick them up. Uncle Davin has at least come over once to visit Zayden, but Mr. Levant hasn’t been here to visit Luke at all! Is this how he such be treating his biological son? At that thought, he scrutinized Luke.
“Why are you staring at me like that, Juan?” Luke queried.
Juan leaned down and patted him on the head. “Do you miss your mommy and daddy, Luke?”
Luke’s eyes betrayed his thoughts, and Juan perceptively realized that he indeed missed his parents.
“How about you give your mommy and daddy a call?”
Luke considered that for some time, but he then shook his head.
