After a glance, Kyle ignored Sofie and her present.
“Did you not hear her, Kyle?” asked Evan as he stared at Kyle who remained silent and was showing
them both that he had no intention of responding to Sofie.
“It’s okay, Evan. Kyle’s still just a boy. He can play with the toy later. I’ll send him to school now.”
Sofie reached out to pick Kyle up but he quickly evaded her and walked out with his schoolbag on his
own.
Acting like it did not bother her at all, Sofie smiled as followed behind and left Hillside Villa.
In the car, Sofie sneered as she looked at Kyle, “It’s useless to go to your father. He saw how I treated
you and how you responded. You can tell him whatever you want but it’s not going to make any
difference. You think I want to send you to school and pick you up?”
“You could’ve told him ‘no’.”
Two-face hypocrite!
Kyle was staring out the window as he would rather not look at Sofie.
“You… I’m not going to do that. In order to be your stepmother, I’m going to take ‘good’ care of you.”
Turning his head to glare at Sofie, Kyle told himself that he would take ‘good’ care of her too.
At Grant Kindergarten, Kyle’s classmates laughed at him the moment he walked into his classroom.
“Do you always ask your mom to fight for you?”
“What a loser!”
After putting his bag down on the desk, Kyle challenged them, “Who wants to fight me first? We’ll see
who the loser is!”
“Why would we want to do that? So you can ask your mom for help again?”
“You’re a loser and your mom’s a madwoman!”
The part about his mother got Kyle all riled up as he raised his fists to hit the one who insulted her.
But that boy was too fast for Kyle.
Then Kyle chased those who continued to call his mother a madwoman all the way to the teacher’s
office. There, a teacher just so happened to walk out and saw what was happening.
“Kyle is hitting us!”
“He kept chasing us!”
“You have to do something!”
“Kyle Seet! What do you think you’re doing?” scolded the teacher harshly.
“They’re insulting my mommy!”
“So you hit them? Do you know it’s not right to hit others?”
“And insulting is?” Kyle fearlessly talked back to the teacher.
“Neither is insulting. As punishment, you’ll stand in class for one period, all of you! Kyle, you’ll be
punished for six days, including the three for what happened last time.”
The others did not mind the punishment at all if it meant that they could get their free pizza.
As for Kyle, he got nothing but injustice for the way he was treated.
His father told him that the children there at the kindergarten were supposed to be educated and well-
mannered, but it seemed to him like his father lied.
I wonder if Juan’s kindergarten is like this too.
During breaktime, Kyle’s classmates were all playing together as he stood alone in a corner.
The kids in the kindergarten did not like playing with whoever got punished by the teachers.
Suddenly, someone tapped Kyle on the shoulder.
When he turned to look, Kyle was surprised to see the person who has the same face as he does.
“Juan, why are you here?”
“You didn’t reply to my text last night, so I came to see you myself. How’s the kindergarten life treating
you?”
Kyle lowered his head in frustration because it was definitely not what he imagined it to be.
“Cheer up, Kyle. Maybe we should swap. There are a lot of classmates you can play with at my
kindergarten.”
When Kyle heard that, he was once again filled with hope.
He was just wondering what Juan’s kindergarten was like, but then he got his chance to find out for
himself.
“Do you think anybody will notice?”
“Nah! Come on. Let’s find a place to switch our clothes.”
