“Does everyone not like me because I’m stupid?”
“No. He just doesn’t believe in my words. Maybe he hasn’t realized that you’re missing. Once he does, he’ll call me again, so don’t worry.”
I will definitely make him regret his mean attitude earlier on. That’ll tamp down his arrogance!
“Maya, I’ll bring you home, okay?”
Maya hesitated. “I want to look for Mommy.”
“Trust me. Your mommy will pick you up from my house, okay?”
Maya blinked as the gears in her head turned. The pretty miss bought me food and she knows Uncle Davin, so I don’t think she’s a bad person. Hence, Maya nodded.
“Good girl. Come, let’s go home.”

Meanwhile, Davin was bored out of his mind in his room. His brother had promised to send Kyle and Juan over to keep him company, but he still saw no signs of the two children until now.
As he sighed, he looked out the window.
Three minutes later, he grabbed his phone and called Evan.
“Evan, where are Kyle and Juan? Don’t go back on your words!”
“They’re with their mother.”
“What?”
Davin was surprised by his words. Previously, Evan had sworn to never let the two meet their mother again.
How could a man like him go back on his words so quickly?
“Evan, are you messing with me? Did you think that you can give me empty promises now that I’m immobilized?”
Evan was frustrated by everything that was going on. The last thing he wanted to do now was deal with his brother, so he handed his phone to Juan.
“Uncle Davin, we’re with Mommy.”
“Really? I haven’t even gotten rid of the vixen yet, but your daddy has already made up with your mommy?”
“No, Maya’s missing. Mommy’s very upset, so Daddy let us keep her company.”
Maya’s missing?
Davin was flabbergasted. How can a cute girl like her be missing?
As Juan briefed him on what happened earlier, he suddenly remembered the call from Sheila.
Did she mean to tell me that the girl calling me ‘Uncle Davin’ is Maya?
