But as their Mommy, I should be the one cleaning after their mess.
“Wait, you said you’ll punish Juan and Kyle. How are you going to punish them?” Nicole looked up and inquired nervously.
“That’s none of your business. After punishing the girls, come and apologize to Sylphiette with them!” He commanded sternly.
“They are my sons, too. I have the right to know—”
Before Nicole could finish, Evan glowered at her and went back to his room.
His face was so grim the surrounding temperature dropped several degrees.
I guess he’s really mad this time.
Nicole felt uneasy at his reaction. Suddenly, she recalled that Davin was the one who summoned her back. He might be the only person who could help them now.
She hurriedly retreated to the rear house and saw Davin with her two daughters. He was talking to them.
When the girls spotted her, they immediately told her how Evan brought Kyle and Juan away. “What should we do?” They asked worriedly.
“Who was the one who came up with the idea to shove her into the pond?”
Maya and Nina looked at each other. Nicole thought Nina would step up and admit it was her, but it was Maya who took a step forward and choked out, “Mommy, it was me.”
“You?”
This daft and adorable daughter of mine?
Nicole could only stare at her in disbelief.
“Nicole, before you came back, I asked them about it. It was Maya who said, ‘Witch, fall into the pond!’ So the kids did as told.”
He added, “Don’t blame them, since it was Sylphiette who came to the rear house to provoke them. If they did nothing to stop their Mommy from being bullied, then they aren’t good kids. They might have been wrong, but they are kids, right? Look, they’ve apologized. Everyone makes mistakes!”
“Mommy, the witch scolded us and splashed milk at us. My shoes are dirty, look!” Maya complained.
