The next day, Juan made sure to tell Evan that he wanted Davin to drop him off and pick him up from kindergarten.
Evan couldn’t help but stare at “Kyle” in surprise when he heard this. He even wondered if he had misheard.
“You’ve never liked your uncle Davin, so why are you choosing him?”
Juan’s eyes darted around. “If we hang out more, then our relationship might get better.”
Evan sniggered at the answer. Any time those two were in close proximity with each other, they would always behave as if they were mortal enemies.
Improving their relationship was quite the long shot, and honestly, he was more worried that their distaste for each other would only deepen evermore.
But Evan wasn’t going to deny him of this. He grabbed his phone and gave Davin a call.
When Davin heard what Evan wanted, he was so stunned that he had to double-check with him multiple times before finally believing his ears.
He then thought back on the recent few times that he had seen Kyle, and realized that the kid wasn’t always distant and aloof. There were times where he was enthusiastic and sweetly called him “Uncle Davin,” so it actually wasn’t such a long shot that he would want him to drive him to and from kindergarten.
After breakfast, he hopped into his sports car and drove to Hillside Villa.
“Hello there, nephew! Your favorite uncle is here to send you to kindergarten!”
“Thank you, Uncle Davin!”
Seeing the boy’s sunny smile made Davin feel extremely delighted and put him in a wonderful mood.
On their way to class, Juan abruptly asked about his Grandpa and Grandma.
Davin looked at him perplexed. “Not bad, nephew. You’re actually showing concern for your Grandpa and Grandma now.” You didn’t even want to see them before!
“I’m their grandson. Of course I should show concern for them. So… how are they doing, Uncle Davin?”
Davin then proceeded to tell the boy about how Grandpa was very fit and healthy, while Grandma always complained about how her back and neck hurt. Everyone had told her it was most probably because she played too much Mahjong, but she just wouldn’t listen.
Juan’s eyes widened a little. “Dr. Tussaud the miracle doctor is great at acupuncture! She was the one who healed me too. Why don’t we get her to have a look at Grandma?”
Davin furrowed his brows at the suggestion.
“Uncle Davin, I don’t have school on the weekends. How about we ask Dr. Tussaud to come this Saturday? It’ll be like a surprise for Grandma!”
Davin turned to stare at “Kyle” suspiciously. “Do you have something up your sleeve? Is this another one of your schemes?”
Juan froze a little before breaking out into a big grin. “I just want to impress Grandma. That way, when Daddy is mean to me, I can ask Grandma for help!” He could only whip up such an excuse. There was no way he could actually tell his uncle what his real plan was.
Davin chuckled. “Well, you are quite the smarty pants for knowing that your Grandma can make your father fall in line. But… how will you thank me if I do this for you?”
“What would you like in return, Uncle Davin?”
“Let me take you out for some fun over the weekend. How about that?”
Go out for some fun?
What kind of condition is that?
Without an ounce of hesitation, Juan nodded in agreement.
Time flew quickly, and soon, it was Friday night.
Juan secretly placed a call to Kyle so the two of them could draw up a plan to get their parents back together.
The first step in their plan was to convince their mother to go treat Grandma’s various pains.
Juan remembered that Grandma had given him a debit card with five hundred thousand in it. He told Kyle to use it as bait to convince Nicole.
The next morning, Kyle immediately ran up to Nicole and mentioned this to her.
Nicole was very surprised by this. Five hundred thousand was nothing to the rich, but to an average person, it was quite a large number.
She couldn’t help but feel a little uneasy when she heard that Juan had taken the money on behalf of Kyle.
“Mommy, he’s already accepted the money. So how about you go give Grandma some acupuncture sessions as a way to repay her. Okay?”
Do acupuncture? Absolutely not!
If Evan found out that she had approached his mother, he would undeniably think that she had some dodgy plan up her sleeve again!
She was not interested in getting into such a mess!
Kyle had to use everything he could to convince her — even guaranteeing that Evan wouldn’t find out — before Nicole finally relented and begrudgingly agreed to it.
She looked at “Juan” and instructed, “We’ll just say that you’re using the money your Grandma gave you to hire me to treat her.”
