Mistaking the CEO for a Gigolo novel Chapter 36

As evening turned to night, Kyle used the cover of darkness to slink back into Hillside Villa.

“Juan,” he called out softly while rapping on his room’s window.

The other boy quickly opened the window. “You’re finally back! Did you enjoy yourself today?”

Kyle found himself mulling over the question carefully. In truth, he did not know whether he had enjoyed himself or not. However, he had to admit that his heart had been pounding in excitement when he and Nicole had started beating up that bad guy. That probably counted as having fun, right?

At long last, he replied, “A little. How did things go on your end?”

 

“Smoothly. I met Grandpa and Grandma today and I’d even had a huge lunch! I even brought back some and was hoping to share it with our sisters. Is that okay?” Pausing, Juan handed the card that their grandmother had given him to Kyle. “By the way, Grandma gave me this card. It’s your allowance for this month. Here, take it.”

 

“I don’t want it.”

“They thought that I was you, so this is supposed to be for you. C’mon, keep it!”

 

“I don’t want it. Why don’t you take it?”

Kyle did not even bother to cast a glance at the card.

 

Hesitating, Juan wondered what to do. Technically, Kyle’s Grandma is my Grandma too. A grandmother giving money to her grandchildren is not anything new. Since he doesn’t want it, it would still be fine if I take it, right? Hehehe.

Pleased at his own reasoning, he tucked the card into a pocket for safekeeping.

“I’ll be leaving now!” he told his brother.

At Kyle’s nod, he headed into the kitchen to grab the bag with the take-out containers, lugging it out of there. Even though the bag was quite heavy as Juan was sagged with the weight, he was not deterred as he snuck out of Hillside Villa with some considerable effort.

When he finally returned to their house at Parkland Garden, he yelled out happily, “Come and have a feast!”

Maya, who was in the midst of drawing, tossed her color pencils aside and zoomed towards the living room.

“I knew that you would be the first one here, Maya,” he teased his sister.

Ignoring him, the little girl’s eyes were glued to the food on the table. “Juan, what is that?”

“Delicacies that you’ve never even seen before! Where is Mommy and Nina?”

“Mommy’s in her room. Nina isn’t eating!”

Right on cue, Nina entered the living room and glared at her sister. She soon demanded, “Who had said that I wasn’t eating?”

 

Maya tilted her head to look at her. “I thought you’d said that you’d wanted to be a fairy? Fairies only drink flower nectar!”

“Oh yeah? Well, you’re more than welcome to only drink flower nectar. In fact, you probably should!”

“I’m not the one who wants to be a fairy. What a greedy fairy! Shame on you!”

“Why you-! You’re a… a fat pig! Shame on you!”

Flushing red in anger, Nina could not believe her ears. She was usually the one who had the upper hands in these arguments. Yet, somehow, Maya was getting increasingly good at retorting these days. How annoying!
