However…
Recalling the letter and the photos enclosed inside, he felt like he was supposed to do this. I have to do this!
After a moment of thought, he pulled the two boys to their feet.
“I’ll speak to your Daddy about this!”
“Then, are you willing to forgive Mommy?”
Russell’s eyes darkened as pain flashed through them. I will never forgive Nicole in this lifetime. Never!
Considering the boys’ young age, they would not be able to understand even if he explained. Thus, he did not bother telling them anything more.
“I’ll discuss this matter with your father. Go wash your faces; you two look terrible.”
He had barely finished speaking when Davin slipped into the room.
“Grandpa, are you hungry? I had the kitchen staff make you your favorite pork chop. I’ll have them send it up here for you.”
“No need. Let these two have it.”
“Alright. Then we won’t disturb you anymore, Grandpa.”
With that said, he grabbed the little boys and steered them out of Russell’s room.
“Does that mean that Great-grandpa will forgive Mommy?”
“We won’t know until your Great-grandpa discusses this with your father. What happens next is up to him now.”
The boys nodded before exchanging glances. They abruptly halted in their steps.
What happened just now in the hallway was simply too strange. They had been scared out of their minds! They had to interrogate their uncle since they had a feeling that it was his fault.
“Uncle Davin, I saw myself falling into the ocean just now, while Kyle saw a monster ripping him apart. What’s up with that?”
Davin froze. What they had seen was indeed his doing, but it was all so they could get inside Russell’s room.
However, based on their terrified wails earlier, he most definitely could not admit that it was his fault. Otherwise, they would refuse to let him off the hook that easily.
Juan was still okay. At most, he would play a few pranks to get his revenge.
Unfortunately, he did not know what kind of extreme things Kyle would do to him.
Hence, he concluded that it would be in his best interests to not tell them the truth.
Deliberately putting on a nonchalant air, he shook his head and plastered a confused expression on his face. “I don’t understand what you’re talking about. What ocean? What monster?”
“I saw a beam of light earlier. It came closer and closer to me. The next thing I knew, it changed into a vast ocean!”
“Yeah, I saw a light too! But for me, it became a vicious monster that wanted to eat me!”
Davin sighed internally. It seems like even the strongest kids have something they’re afraid of. Juan is terrified of drowning in the ocean while Kyle is scared of a man-eating monster!
The beam of light that they had mentioned was actually a top-secret and innovative technology that he had bought, using a large sum of money.
It was able to detect what one feared the most, projecting it for the mind to see.
Kyle was afraid of monsters now, but a few years later that might change. What it might change into was up to the little boy himself.
“Uncle Davin, did you create that beam of light?”
Juan’s accusation dragged Davin out of his thoughts.
Kyle was also staring at him coolly, his dark orbs focused on the adult unblinkingly. It was evident that he was trying to sense if Davin was lying.
Davin’s heart skipped a beat and he tried his best to put on a calm front. He retorted, “Juan, you need to have proof if you want to accuse me of something. I didn’t even see this ‘light’ that you two have said that you’ve seen. How could you think that it was me?”
Juan knitted his brows while Kyle crossed his arms in front of his chest. Both were scrutinizing him closely, clearly not believing him at all.
“Hey, you two should stop thinking about it. Maybe the light you saw was just sunlight, or maybe there wasn’t any light at all. Now, hurry and clean yourselves up! Time to eat some pork chop.”
The two boys headed downstairs, their heads bent together as they muttered to each other.
Davin watched their retreating backs warily. From what he knew of them, they would definitely be keeping a close eye on him for the next few days.
Letting out a breath, he took his phone out to call Evan.
Upon hearing that Russell was willing to talk with him, Evan immediately left the company in John’s hands and rushed home.
“Grandpa wants to discuss this matter with me?”
“Yup. He’ll probably reveal the contents of that letter to you.”
