“Just take it!” Sophia insisted firmly before shoving the card into his hands.
Uncertain, Juan turned to look at Evan for his opinion.
Still a little hesitant, he eventually kept the card.
“Thank you, Grandma!”
“Oh, you! There’s no need to be so polite to Grandma!”
“Yes, exactly! We’re your grandparents. You can call Grandpa anytime you want if you find that you need something!”
Staring at the older couple, Juan felt warmth suffusing him. No one had ever been this nice to him before, other than his mother. This was the first time he had experienced affection from others. It had caused him to feel all fuzzy on the inside.
Before he left the Seet Residence, Davin reminded him to come over often to play.
Juan shot him a delighted nod in reply.
After that, he returned to Hillside Villa.
Evan gazed at Juan for a bit before a small grin tugged at his lips.
This was the first time he had felt what it was like to be surrounded by family. “Kyle, you did great today!”
Juan rubbed the back of his head and smiled at his father. He had not done anything much. In fact, he had even gotten a free meal, a huge allowance, and had brought back a lot of delicious food. This had been a fruitful outing indeed!
“Daddy, can I store the food by myself?”
Evan mulled over it for a bit before nodding.
“You shouldn’t keep these for too long. Remember to throw them away if you don’t finish them by tonight!”
“Okay! Thanks, Daddy!”
Shooting his son one last smile, Evan headed off to work.
Juan hurried into the kitchen and put all the take-out containers into a big bag before stuffing it into the fridge. That way, it would be easier to carry when he left.
At long last, he headed back to Kyle’s room and played with some Lego as he whiled the time away.
On the other side of things.
Nicole sent Maya and Nina off to kindergarten before focusing her attention on Kyle. “Where would you like to go?”
The little boy thought over the question but soon found that he could not come up with an answer.
