“What’s wrong, Daddy? Why are you staring at us this way?” Juan asked.
“Daddy thinks you two should do a little something.”
The kids were surprised by what Evan said.
“What do you want us to do, Daddy?” Kyle asked straightforwardly.
Juan shrugged his shoulders and asked, “Are we not doing enough for you, Daddy?”
Evan took a moment to think about it before replying, “You’re both very helpful to me, but I think your Mommy might be missing you guys dearly. Why don’t you go stay with her and tell me what she needs so I can try my best to satisfy her? That way, you’ll also be able to repay her for raising you.”
The two boys exchanged glances. Juan was happy to hear that his Daddy was looking out for his mommy, but Kyle knew what Evan’s true intentions were.
“Daddy, you want us to stay by Mommy’s side so we can spy on her for you, right?” He asked.
Juan’s eyes went wide as he realized their Daddy’s true intentions.
“You’re afraid that Mr. Levant would win Mommy’s heart over, right?”
John looked at Evan after hearing Juan’s question. If Mr. Seet doesn’t send these kids over, there’s no way he’d be able to find Mrs. Seet in Wicked Palace! It’d be an impossible game of hide-and-seek in that maze-like building!
But Evan avoided their questions and said, “I want you two to come up with a suitable excuse and get there as soon as possible.”
“Do we get anything out of helping you with this, Daddy?”
Evan glared at him. “What do you want?”
Juan’s eyes darted around nervously. “Um… I-I haven’t thought of it yet! I’ll tell you when I have!”
At that moment, Maya came downstairs and asked, “Where are you sending Juan and Kyle, Daddy?”
Juan was quick to respond. “We’re going to stay with Mommy. You coming along?”
Maya froze. Daddy is busy with work during the day. If Juan and Kyle move out, Susan would definitely abuse me at home!
“Yes, I’ll go with you!” Maya replied without any hesitation. Wait… If we go, Nina would be all alone with Susan!
“I’ll go ask Nina if she wants to join us!” Maya said as she ran up the stairs.
After listening to Maya’s story, Nina took a moment to ponder about it before agreeing to go with them. “There’s no point in me staying here if you’re all gone! Besides, we’re siblings, so we have to be united in our actions!”
“Awesome! We’ll all go together, then!”
The next morning, the kids gave Nicole a call. It was a new number that she had told them about when they last saw her.
Nicole answered the call the moment she saw that it was Juan.
“Hi, Juan! Do you miss Mommy?”
“Yeah, we all do! We dreamt of you last night, Mommy! Do you miss us too?”
Nicole was touched when she heard that. The kids must’ve been thinking about me a lot if they’re dreaming of me! They must really miss me!
“Mommy misses you guys too, Juan. Why don’t you all come to stay with me?”
“Sure thing, Mommy! We’ll come over today!”
Nicole was both happy and excited. “Okay! I can’t wait to see you guys!”
Juan let out a sigh after hanging up. I wonder how Mommy would feel if she knew we were there to spy on her…
It was almost noon when the four of them arrived at Wicked Palace.
Levant had prepared a lot of toys for them as he wanted them to stay there permanently. That way, Nicole would be able to cut all ties with Evan and commit to him fully.
In order to achieve that, he was willing to treat the kids as his own and shower them with his love.
