Hearing this, Kyle turned to look at Evan and complained, “Daddy, didn’t you taught us the same, too?”
Evan glared coldly at Nicole. Did she say that because she wanted to bring the kids to the amusement park with him?
Alright, he thought darkly, I’ll let you experience the ‘joyful’ experience of having me around!
“Let’s go now!”
As soon as he spoke, Nicole felt her heart drop. As she raised her head and met his cold eyes, she felt a deep sense of dread.
His entire expression smacked of his desire to get revenge on her. Was he going to make things difficult for her?
The children were so excited at the thought of heading to the amusement park that they didn’t notice the awkward silence between their parents at all.
They arrived at the amusement park in their car.
Juan and Kyle had an important mission. They wanted to find as many opportunities as they could to let their parents interact with each other.
On the other hand, Maya and Nina had struck a deal. They would protect their Mommy to the end of the world. If their father tried to make things difficult for her, they would discipline him on her behalf.
“Maya, we can’t be afraid of him.”
“No worries! If he bullies Mommy, I’ll treat him like he is cheese or pork leg and bite him into pieces!”
Nina nodded frantically. She reached into her pocket and extracted a newly-bought makeup kit. An insidious smile spread across her face.
Evan bought the tickets and led the children into the amusement park. Nicole left and came back with her hands full of popcorn bags for the children.
“You’re not allowed to eat that,” Evan said sternly to the kids.
“Why not?” Nicole asked unhappily.
“It’s filthy.”
Hearing this, the children turned to look at each other uneasily. Should they eat the popcorn or not?
Nicole shot him a glare and took the bags of popcorn away from the kids. “Let’s not eat the popcorn, then. Go and have fun!”
The children nodded and headed off in the direction of the carousel ride gleefully.
Evan glowered at the bags of popcorn in Nicole’s arms. “Throw them away,” he ordered.
“Why should I do that?”
It was such a waste to do that. After all, she had spent money to buy them.
“We’re not letting the kids eat them! Which part of that do you not understand?”
Nicole was nonplussed. It still made no sense to throw the perfectly good bags of popcorn away.
Nicole rolled her eyes at him. Tearing one of the bags open, she started stuffing her face with popcorn.
“Don’t worry, I’ll finish eating them in a jiffy. I won’t give them to the kids.”
Evan frowned at her with a peculiar expression on his face.
Nicole ignored him. As soon as she finished one bag of popcorn, she tore open another bag and started eating that too.
Evan couldn’t bear it anymore. “Please stand a little further away from me, thanks.”
Nicole, who was preoccupied with eating popcorn, stopped for a second and asked, “Why?”
Evan stared at her and refused to answer.
Now, he finally understood who Maya had inherited her gluttony from.
Seeing the disgust in his eyes, Nicole shot a look at Evan and stepped away from him.
However, Evan still wasn’t satisfied. “A little further please, thanks.”
Nicole scoffed. “Do you think this is your house or something? I’ll stand wherever I like.”
Evan couldn’t be bothered to reply. If he got into a fight with her now, someone was bound to capture their squabble and upload the video onto social media. That would cause great damage to his reputation.
He started walking away from her to put some distance between them.
“Juan, Daddy and Mommy have split up!”
“We need to find a way to make them stick together!”
The two boys started hatching a plan together.
“Nina, is Mommy getting bullied again?”
Nina frowned. “I don’t think so. She’s eating popcorn very happily.”
At that moment, the carousel stopped. Juan and Kyle hopped off the ride and made a beeline for their parents, with the girls trailing behind.
“Daddy, Mommy, we want to play with the water guns.”
Juan insisted that his mother be on his team, while Kyle asked his father to team up with him.
It was rare that Kyle was so bright and lively. Looking at him, Evan felt rather happy.
Maya and Nina exchanged a look. “We’re teaming up with Mommy.”
“That’s so unfair! Hey, Fatty, come and join our team.”
Between Nina and Maya, Evan had to admit that he was biased towards Maya.
Maya turned to look at him, her chubby face red with anger. How dare he call her a Fatty? What a rude person he was!
