“By the way, I’m going to Royal Mall to shop. See ya.”
Sylphiette rolled her eyes at him before leaving. Meanwhile, she started devising a plan to get rid of Davin, who had constantly been throwing spanners in her plans.
In the evening, Nicole began preparing dinner after picking up the children from the kindergarten.
As Juan and Kyle watched their mom discreetly, they felt that their suspicions were spot on.
“Could this be our last meal before she leaves?”
Just as Juan spoke, Kyle was feeling disturbed. Is Mommy going to abandon me again?
Suddenly, he felt a pang in his heart as tears welled up in his eyes.
Walking towards Nicole, he hugged her thigh with all his might and didn’t want to let go.
“Kyle, what’s wrong?”
He continued hugging tightly in silence.
As Nicole gave him a puzzled look, she asked him again about what was going on.
Juan then ambled towards her with a pitiful expression. “Mommy, are you going to leave me and Kyle behind?”
Nicole didn’t know what to say.
She was surprised as to what gave the kids this idea.
“Who told you that?”
“Mommy, you don’t have to hide it from us. When you give us a treat all of a sudden, we can guess for ourselves. Just like prisoners who get a decent last meal, you’re treating us to something delicious before you leave.”
Nicole pinched Juan’s face in response.
“Don’t start spouting nonsense. I’m giving you a treat not because I’m leaving you, I have a different reason in mind.”
Lifting his head to look at Nicole, Kyle’s expression was filled with curiosity. “Mommy, what’s the reason?”
Worried that both children would think she was abandoning them, she told them the truth. “Mommy needs your help.”
“To do what?”
When Nicole was done telling them, Juan sighed. “Next time, just tell us straight up that you need our help. Or else, you are just giving us an unnecessary scare.”
“That’s right, you shouldn’t have to hide things from us.”
“In that case, do you then agree to help me?”
