Chapter 1657 Sorry
Davin first swept his gaze across the nutritious breakfast on the table, and the people around it, before finally looking at his son.
At the sight of the boy’s bruised face, he blurted, “What happened, Zayden? What’s this?”
At once, he approached Zayden to check on him and was heartbroken to see that the latter’s face was actually bruised and swollen.
“Zayden, how did this happen?”
Zayden looked at Kyle and thought about everything his cousin had promised him—the robot, the Legos, and the food. It was way too tempting for him. Hence, he lied through his teeth.
“I-I was sleepwalking last night and accidentally knocked into a wall.”
“Sleepwalking? How did that happen?” Davin was curious.
Swiveling his eyes around, Zayden came up with a lie. “It’s because I was too excited to sleep with Kyle. I dreamt that he took me to a feast, so I got off the bed hazily. And because my eyes were closed, I walked into a wall.”
Everyone fell silent after hearing that.
Davin furrowed his brows in response while Nicole and Evan both looked at Kyle.
“Is that so?” Evan asked.
“Yes.”
Ignoring the pang of conscience, Kyle nodded.
If I said no and told them that Zayden fell off the bed and walked into a wall because he was in a hurry to look for me, they’d ask me where I went. Grandma will surely suspect me and would be even warier of us. It’ll be harder for Sally and me to be together if that happens. Sorry, Zayden.
“You silly boy. All you think about is food. You’re coming back with me tonight and sleeping with me! No more sleeping with Kyle,” Davin ordered.
“Why?” Zayden protested.
“Sorry, Uncle Davin. It’s my fault for not taking good care of Zayden.”
Hearing Kyle’s apology, Sally averted her eyes from guilt since she knew Zayden had gotten himself hurt because of their secret meeting in the guest room.
Thank goodness Joy is fine. Otherwise, I wouldn’t know how to face the others.
“Don’t say that, Kyle. It’s not your fault at all. Blame Zayden for only ever thinking about food! And as if that’s not enough, he’s now dreaming about food and hurt his face because of that. What a weird kid. I guarantee he won’t be dreaming about food tonight when he sleeps with me.”
“Yeah, I’ll most likely be dreaming of getting spanked,” Zayden murmured.
Then, he sulked and sat beside Kyle at the dining table before digging in.
“All right, now. It was just an accident. Zayden’s still a kid, so he must have slept too deeply. Have you eaten yet? Would you like to join us?” Sophia asked.
Davin looked at the food on the table and answered, “Well, don’t mind if I do.”
“I knew you were here early for the free meal!”
“What’s wrong with a free meal? It’s not like I don’t do anything. I’m here today to do just that. Don’t worry, Juan. Leave it to me to make things hard for Steven…”
Davin paused after realizing what he said was a little inappropriate. Turning over to face Sally, he flashed her an awkward smile. “What I meant was, I’ll take good care of Mr. Maupay when he arrives, very good care!”
Sally did not respond. Knitting her brows, she wondered if she had misheard Davin. Did he just say he’s going to make things difficult for Daddy? Daddy’s coming today to apologize for misunderstanding Evan and almost blowing Imperial Garden up. What are they going to do to him?
As uneasiness arose within her, she turned to look at Kyle, who read her mind. “Don’t worry,” he whispered.
With that, Sally lowered her head. Kyle is Daddy’s son-in-law, so he would definitely help out if Daddy’s in a difficult situation, right? I should talk to him later. At least make it so that it’s not too rough for Daddy.
“This is quite the spread you guys have here. If you don’t mind, could I come and have breakfast with you all from now on?” Davin asked shamelessly.
