Juan held his chin and pondered for a while. “It’s too high for us; we might get hurt. Let’s go through the dog hole instead.”
Kyle mulled it over. I’d do anything to see Mommy. A mere dog hole can’t stop me.
“Alright. Do you know where it is?”
“Of course! I found out about every nook and cranny there is to this place while staying here. Follow me.”
The two secretly and carefully got into the estate through the hole in the wall.
At the other end of the hole was the garden. Coincidentally, Nicole was currently sitting on the swing there.
Upon seeing her, Juan and Kyle both grew excited.
“Mommy’s there!” Kyle pointed at the swing.
Juan nodded in response as they ran towards the swing while shouting, “Mommy!”
Nicole heard their shout and turned around to see two kids sprinting towards her.
Her forehead creased. Huh? Whose kids are these?
Juan and Kyle stopped in front of her, and she was shocked when she got a good look at their faces.
How can they look so alike to Evan? Are they his children? Did he get married because of them?
“Mommy, why are you looking at us like that?”
The kids looked at her with confusion written all over their faces.
Nicole was baffled. Why are they calling me ‘Mommy’?
“Which family are you two from? I’m not your mommy; I’m not even married. Don’t go calling people your mommy so casually.”
Huh?
Juan and Kyle suspected that they had heard her wrong. Does Mommy not recognize us?
Nicole was looking at them like they were strangers.
A bad feeling suddenly washed over Juan. “Mommy, y-you don’t recognize us?”
“How could this be?” Kyle was horrified.
“Was Daddy marrying another woman too much to handle for her? Has Mommy gone insane?”
“Six.”
After hearing that answer, she pulled Kyle up as well. “You two naughty kids. Let’s take you back to your daddy.”
The kids felt humiliated being held by Nicole like that, but they were out of options.
“Mommy, we’re your children! You can’t do this to us!”
“We’re your real children! We’re your biological kids!”
Nicole let out a cold snort and gave the children a strict warning, “Stop calling me that. I already told you that I’m not married. How could I have children as old as you two?”
“Mommy really doesn’t remember us. What do we do now?” Juan asked his brother.
Kyle gave it some thought. “Grandpa! We wanna see Grandpa!”
“Who’s your grandpa?” Nicole’s brow raised.
“Mommy’s daddy! The duke!”
“You little brats! Stop going around claiming you’re related to strangers. First, you call me your ‘Mommy’, and now you say the duke is your grandpa? I’m definitely sending you two back to your daddy. He needs to educate his children properly.”
