“Wait, I’ll bathe you first before you go to bed. Take off your clothes!” ordered Maya.
Feeling slightly embarrassed, Zayden hesitated and looked at her shyly.
“Take them off!”
“I-I don’t want to take a bath.”
“You have to! If you want to sleep with me, you must take a bath. I don’t like smelly children.”
Lowering his head, Zayden sniffed himself. How am I smelly? I smell like flowers!
Looking at him pouting and hesitating, Maya pulled him over and took off his clothes instantly.
“Ahh! Maya, you’re a girl. You shouldn’t take off a boy’s clothes like this. You’re too rough…”
While he was shouting, she had already stripped him naked. Then, she carried him up and walked
toward the bathroom.
On the other hand, Joy opened the door to Kyle’s room, smiled sweetly, and asked, “Kyle, I’m back. Did
you miss me?”
Leaning over, Kyle looked at his younger sister, who had inherited all their parents’ good looks, and
pinched her cute little face. “Of course, I did. I haven’t seen you for a few days, and you seem to have
grown taller again.”
“I did grow taller. Kyle, can I sleep with you tonight?”
Since Mommy isn’t here, it’s better for Joy to sleep with me.
“Sure!” Subsequently, Kyle carried her up and brought her into the bedroom.
Joy wrapped her arms around his neck tightly and suddenly asked a very strange question, “Kyle, you
and Juan look similar to Daddy. When Daddy was young, was he as handsome as you are now?”
Hearing that, Kyle pondered over it for a moment and curved his lips slightly. “Daddy was more
handsome than me when he was younger.”
“Really? He was that handsome?”
“Of course. Otherwise, why would Mommy fall in love with Daddy?”
“I’ve seen photos of Daddy and Mommy when they were younger, and you and the other older siblings
were in the picture too. If I was born earlier, I could play with you as well, but now, I can only play with
Zayden.”
“Don’t you like to play with Zayden?”
“I like to play with him, but it’s boring when it’s just the two of us. I heard that you guys often held
meetings when you were younger. There’s only Zayden and me when we have meetings. It’s not fun.”
“Next time when I hold a meeting with the rest, I’ll bring the two of you. How’s that?” Kyle responded.
Upon hearing that, Joy nodded her head. “Also, when you’re coming up with plans to look for Mommy,
can you bring us along too?”
Kyle fixed his gaze on the mischievous girl and came to a realization. So, this was her real objective.
“You want to help in finding Mommy?”
“Yes! We can help! Kyle, you’ve to trust us.”
Staring at Joy, Kyle seemed to see his younger self in her. Small vivid figures of Juan, Nina, and Maya
when they were younger flashed across his mind.
Back then, they had always acted according to their will, so he could understand why Joy had the same
idea.
“All right, I promise you. It’s too late now. Go to bed first, okay?”
“Okay.”
Shortly afterward, Kyle laid her on the bed, but she suggested taking a bath. After that, he gently dried
her hair. She laid beside him and soon fell asleep.
He looked at Joy, who was sleeping soundly, and his gaze gradually darkened. Has Sally made any
moves yet? I’ve placed a bug in her room. If someone calls her, there’ll definitely be a recording.
Out of curiosity and wanting to find out Sally’s background quickly, Kyle got out of bed and went to the
study room.
In the meantime, Juan, who couldn’t fall asleep, was hiding in the corner, monitoring Sally because he
wanted to see if she would do anything. Seeing Kyle walking toward the study room piqued his
curiosity.
