Lauren wasn’t aware why Hayden was interested in Kevin given that it had nothing to do with her anyway. After all, she would be paid fifty thousand every time she brought him there. And that was a lot more than she could earn working in a cafe. …
Before Kevin went back upstairs, he had mentally prepared himself. Taking a deep breath, he pushed open the door and saw that Eva was home.
Without saying a word, Eva rushed over and slapped him hard on his face.
Feeling heartbroken, Sharon looked toward her and reprimanded, “Eva, why did you slap him? He isn’t sensible because he is still young. He already feels bad enough. There’s no need to slap him at all.”
Eva snapped, “Why are you still protecting him given how dire the circumstances are? So what if he is still young? He shouldn’t have gotten into that kind of trouble. He keeps making mistakes because you have spoiled him. Kevin, you should have just stuck to playing with your phone. Why did you start gambling? What makes you think that you can win given that you have never made any money before? We have never placed any hope on you to be successful, but at the very least, you shouldn’t be holding us back.”
Eva hated how her parents spoiled Kevin just because he was a boy. They were so biased that it didn’t matter what he did wrong.
However, Kevin reacted appropriately this time. He dropped to his knees suddenly and cried. When no tears came out, he could only declare in remorse, “Mom, Dad, Eva, I know I have messed up. I have been cheated and didn’t want this to happen either. I will definitely turn over a new leaf, so don’t be angry at me anymore. I know I deserve to be punished. I only acted that way because of the stress from my studies. Therefore, I don’t plan to continue with my exams. Instead, I’ll start working to pay back all the money I owe.”
Reaching out his hand to help Kevin up, Wesley remarked in disappointment, “Your actions have caused us to feel disheartened. Your sister is right, you really aren’t sensible. Given how young you are, how dare you act so brazenly. Tell me, if you don’t continue your studies, what else can you do?”
