“What’s wrong, Daddy? Why are you staring at us this way?” Juan asked.
“Daddy thinks you two should do a little something.”
The kids were surprised by what Evan said.
“What do you want us to do, Daddy?” Kyle asked straightforwardly.
Juan shrugged his shoulders and asked, “Are we not doing enough for you, Daddy?”
Evan took a moment to think about it before replying, “You’re both very helpful to me, but I think your Mommy might be missing you guys dearly. Why don’t you go stay with her and tell me what she needs so I can try my best to satisfy her? That way, you’ll also be able to repay her for raising you.”
The two boys exchanged glances. Juan was happy to hear that his Daddy was looking out for his mommy, but Kyle knew what Evan’s true intentions were.
“Daddy, you want us to stay by Mommy’s side so we can spy on her for you, right?” He asked.
Juan’s eyes went wide as he realized their Daddy’s true intentions.
“You’re afraid that Mr. Levant would win Mommy’s heart over, right?”
John looked at Evan after hearing Juan’s question. If Mr. Seet doesn’t send these kids over, there’s no way he’d be able to find Mrs. Seet in Wicked Palace! It’d be an impossible game of hide-and-seek in that maze-like building!
But Evan avoided their questions and said, “I want you two to come up with a suitable excuse and get there as soon as possible.”
“Do we get anything out of helping you with this, Daddy?”
Evan glared at him. “What do you want?”
Juan’s eyes darted around nervously. “Um… I-I haven’t thought of it yet! I’ll tell you when I have!”
At that moment, Maya came downstairs and asked, “Where are you sending Juan and Kyle, Daddy?”
Juan was quick to respond. “We’re going to stay with Mommy. You coming along?”
