The Older The Wiser
It’s already so late. What is Kyle doing in the study room?
After giving it some thought, Juan followed Kyle into the room.
Just as Kyle turned on the computer, Juan hurriedly walked behind him. “It’s already this late. What are
you looking at?”
Glancing at him, Kyle asked, “Why haven’t you gone to bed?”
“I want to see if Sally will do anything.”
“She’s in the room. What would you be able to observe?”
“T-That’s true. But what if she comes out of the room and does something? I’m waiting in ambush.”
“We don’t necessarily have to use our own eyes to keep an eye on her.”
“Then how are we supposed to do that? With our ears? Leaning on her door to hear any movements
inside? Wouldn’t that be too much?”
Casting a brief look at Juan, Kyle clicked the mouse, and there were sounds from the computer
software connected to the bug in Sally’s room.
“Hello, how is it? He’s no ordinary man. Fine, I’ll try my best. How about Dad? Is he doing better? I
understand. Talk to you soon.”
Is this Sally’s voice? Kyle actually planted a bug in her room?
Instantaneously, Juan turned his head to look at Kyle. “You’re so smart! Why didn’t I think of this? I’ve
only thought of threatening and monitoring her.”
The latter was silent for a moment before saying, “This isn’t my idea either. Daddy reminded me of it.”
Daddy? Indeed, the older, the wiser!
“How could Daddy think of such a trick? Placing a bug in a girl’s room…”
“Why? Do you think that it’s wrong?”
“No, no, no. A bug isn’t a surveillance camera. Since we can’t see anything and can only hear sounds, I
think it’s fine.”
“Okay. Let’s get down to business. Did you find out anything from the recording just now?”
After staying silent momentarily, Juan piped up, “Play the recording again. I’ll listen carefully this time.”
After listening to the recording once more, he rested his chin on his hand and started analyzing.
“She’s talking on the phone, and her father is sick. Also, who’s the extraordinary man that she’s talking
about?”
In response, Kyle contemplated and replied, “I don’t know.”
Hearing that, Juan let out a sigh and stated, “There’s too little information from her conversation. We
only know that her father is sick—”
Suddenly, he paused and snapped his fingers. “Wait a minute. Isn’t she an orphan? Wasn’t she
adopted by a kind old woman? Why does she have a father? We’ve to get to the bottom of this
tomorrow!”
After giving it some thought, Kyle reminded him, “When you ask, pay attention to your choice of words.
Don’t make her suspicious of the bug. We might get more valuable information from it.”
Juan narrowed his eyes and nodded. “Don’t worry! I know what to do.”
After turning off the computer, both of them got up and left the study room.
The next day, Joy and Zayden got out of bed early and had breakfast with everyone after washing up.
Maya even prepared a hearty meal for them.
Both of the little ones held a large plate each and ate with much relish.
“Is it delicious?” Maya looked at them and asked.
Immediately, Joy nodded and answered, “Yes, it’s really delicious!”
In the meantime, Zayden quickly swallowed the food he was chewing in his mouth and replied, “Maya,
you’re amazing! You’re the best cook in the world, and no one can compare to your cooking skills.
You’re invincible!”
Just then, Juan raised his head and cast a glance at Zayden. “This kid is such a sweet talker, just like
Uncle Davin.”
Hearing that, Zayden blinked his big eyes and queried, “Is being a sweet talker a good trait?”
Juan fell into deep thought and responded solemnly, “Yes, it is!”
Haha! Then if I want to compliment Daddy in the future, I can say that he’s a sweet talker!
Sally then placed a shrimp on Joy’s plate. “Joy, you seem to like shrimp a lot. Eat more.”
“Thank you.”
At that moment, Juan also placed a shrimp on Zayden’s plate. “You should eat more too.”
“Thank you, Juan. You’re the best brother in the world!”
Tsk! Tsk! The more I look at him, the more similar he is to Uncle Davin. Juan could not help but
exclaim, “Uncle Davin’s son has inherited all his strengths!”
