How should I weasel my way out then? When she looked around her pigsty and thought of the problems she had to face, Nicole thought she was really down on her luck.
“Ms. Lane, It’s time for me to send Kyle back to the villa.”
Although Nicole was reluctant to part with Kyle, she had no choice. “Kyle’s downstairs. I’ll go with you.”
When they came up to the kids, Kyle was still playing happily with Nina and Maya. When John said that he would be taking him back, Kyle refused. “I’m not going back!”
“Kyle, I know you love your mother and you don’t want to get separated from her. But if Mr. Seet finds out you’re gone, he’s going to look for you. Once he sees you here, your mother will be in trouble.”
The mention of trouble befalling Nicole made Kyle worry, and he looked at her.
“Go with John, Kyle. I’ll visit you when I can.”
Kyle hesitated, but he eventually gave in to his desire to keep his mother safe. He then followed John to his car.
Maya was equally sad to see him go, and she teared up. “Mommy, when will Kyle come to play with us again?”
Nicole patted her head. “Soon,” she assured her.
“Kyle’s your son! Evan can’t keep him away from us! If it were up to me, I’d—”
“Nina, stop. Why did you sabotage Evan’s office?”
Nina was baffled. How did mommy find out about it?
“Never do that again. It’s dangerous.” This was the first time Nicole said something to her so sternly.
Disgruntled, Nina mumbled, “Evan’s a jerk. I just want to teach him a lesson.”
