Kyle looked at him and asked, “Are we really gonna hand this to Mommy? I heard women love jewelry. What if Mommy likes Levant even more after receiving this?”
Juan thought about what Kyle said and agreed with it.
He’s right. If Mommy likes Levant more and more, Daddy wouldn’t stand a chance! We need to get both of them back together and live happily as a family! Still… This is a really beautiful necklace, and it’d be a shame if Mommy couldn’t wear it…
Juan suddenly had an idea. “I have a plan. Why don’t we…” He then turned towards Kyle and whispered in his ear.
“Are you sure? I don’t think that’s such a good idea…” Kyle asked.
“Why not? If he can resort to underhanded means to steal Mommy over from Daddy, a necklace is a small price to pay!”
Kyle took a moment to ponder what he had just said. “You’re right. We’ll go with your plan.”
With that, the two hid the box in their bedroom and brought the necklace over to Nicole’s room.
“Yes? What is it, boys?” Nicole looked at them curiously.
Juan handed the necklace over to her and said, “Here you go, Mommy! It’s a gift from Daddy! He asked us to give it to you!”
Nicole was surprised.
A gift from Evan? Why would he give me a necklace? Is he trying to win me back by “bribing” me? Hmph! I’m not some gold-digger whose heart can be bought over with some fancy jewelry! In fact, I’ve never planned on getting back together ever since I’ve decided to cut ties with him!
“I don’t want it, so give it back to him.”
Huh? But this necklace is so pretty! I can’t believe Mommy doesn’t want it!
“Do you not like it, Mommy?”
“No, and don’t ever give me any of his gifts again, okay?”
Oh… Mommy didn’t like it because we said it was from Daddy… What do we do now?
“It’s late. Hurry up and get some sleep, you two.”
The two sighed as they left Nicole’s room.
“What do we do with this necklace now? Do we return it to Levant?” Juan asked.
Kyle nodded. “We’ll return it tomorrow and tell him Mommy didn’t like it.”
“All right.”
The next day, Kyle and Juan were walking around the corridor looking for Levant.
Levant saw them as he came over to wake Nicole up for breakfast. “What are you two doing here?”
Juan held the box up to his face. “Mommy said she didn’t like it and told us to give it back to you.”
Levant froze.
Nicole was just talking about this jewelry designer the other day, saying how her designs had “soul” in them. I spent a huge amount of money on this necklace, and now she doesn’t like it?
“Mommy also asks that you don’t give her any more gifts!”
That surprised Levant even more.
He observed them carefully and could tell that something wasn’t quite right from the look in their eyes.
Did Nicole really say that, or are these kids just lying to me?
With a stoic look on his face, Levant took the box over and said, “All right, I’ll take it back if your mommy doesn’t like it.”
Then, with a dazzling smile, he began walking towards Nicole’s room.
The two frowned as they watched him disappear around the corner.
“Is he going to see Mommy?”
“Didn’t he say he was gonna take it back? Why is he bringing it to Mommy now?”
“Do you think he lied about that?”
As if they had realized something, the two ran after Levant, only to see him handing the box over to Nicole.
“This is a necklace designed by that jewelry designer you liked. It is inspired by the concept of eternal love. Do you like it?”
