“It’s the weekend. Spend the morning with your kids before you go to the clinic in the afternoon.”
“Uncle Rocky’s right. Stay with us, Mommy!”
As Nina tried to persuade Nicole, she grabbed her mother’s hands and swung them. Nicole did not have the heart to disappoint her children, so she agreed to their request.
“Yay! Mommy said yes!” Nina was overjoyed.
On the other hand, a look of disappointment had crept up Maya’s face, which was a stark contrast to Nina’s.
All she could think was, When will Daddy go with me?
Meanwhile, the two children at Seet Residence sat in front of the window with their heads in their hands. Both boys were staring at the sky like caged birds.
When Juan thought about the happy times when his mother brought him and his siblings to KFC, he couldn’t help but let out a sigh.
“What’s wrong?” Kyle asked in a monotonous voice.
“I miss Mommy. I want to eat KFC.”
Right then, Evan’s voice sounded from behind them.
“It’s unhealthy to eat fast food. I won’t let you eat KFC if you’re with me.”
Juan turned back to glare at him with puffed-out cheeks. It’s already ridiculous that he doesn’t let me see Mommy. Now he’s even refusing to let me eat KFC?
“KFC is the healthiest and tastiest food! Mommy said there are a lot of nutrients in chicken. I want to eat KFC!”
Evan’s expression turned sullen. That damn Nicole. It’s one thing to be lazy and not cook for the children, but she’s telling them that fast food is healthy? How can she do that?
The healthiest and tastiest food?
“Your mommy’s wrong. She ate too much chicken. That’s why she doesn’t have a brain. Understand?”
Upon hearing that, Juan huffed and pouted. How could Daddy lie and say that Mommy doesn’t have a brain just to stop me from eating fast food?
Evil Daddy!
To prove that Mommy is smart and still has a brain, I have to eat it.
“I want to eat KFC. I want to eat KFC!”
“No,” Evan uttered coldly.
Fearing that he would lose against his father, Juan decided to use the last resort and started wailing.
Immediately, Evan felt his heart ache at the sight of Juan’s tears.
“I want to eat KFC. I want to eat chicken wrap!”
In the end, at Juan’s persistent wailing, Evan relented in frustration and heartache.
Left with no other choice, he agreed to buy KFC for his son.
When he saw his father walking out of the living room, Juan hurriedly wiped his tears away and turned to Kyle. In a serious tone, he muttered, “When Daddy’s back, we’ll share the food.”
Suspicion crept up Kyle’s face. Is chicken wrap that good?
Is it worth crying for?
Meanwhile, Evan drove to the closest KFC store and parked his car.
When he reached the entrance of the store, he could not help but frown at the noisy crowd inside.
It’s all because of Nicole that Juan loves to eat this kind of food. The healthiest and tastiest, my foot!
How can she brainwash her children like that? It’s the best decision I’ve made not to let her have Juan.
After complaining about Nicole in his mind, the germophobic man frowned and entered the store.
Meanwhile, in the same store.
After sitting down at an empty table, Nina and Maya ordered their favorite food, then waited for their orders to arrive with anticipation.
“I’ll buy you milk tea, so wait for me here, okay?”
“Okay, Mommy.”
Once Nicole went to buy the milk tea, Nina started chatting excitedly with Rocky.
Feeling left out by their conversation, Maya swept her gaze around the store.
All of a sudden, a familiar figure entered her line of sight.
Is Daddy here to eat KFC with me?
Instantly, Maya’s eyes lit up. She jumped down from her chair and ran toward Evan.
Dashing to his side, Maya beamed from ear to ear as she looked up at Evan.
“Uncle Evan!”
Evan, who was busy purchasing chicken wrap for Juan, did not realize that someone was calling him. He only lowered his head when a small hand tugged on the edge of his shirt.
Surprise was written all over his face when he saw Maya.
