Chapter 133 - What about mummy? (1/2)

DX thought about it for a while. He knew what it was like to stand out because of one's parents.

Growing up, even in his school that was filled with children from rich and prestigious family, he had always felt the pressure of being constantly watched by others.

The fact that Jack and Lyle were illegitimate children were well-known and the children were taught the ways to handle themselves should there be anyone who dared to make fun of them.

So, Lyle's question was probably related to DX's 'male' lover rather than their background.

"Did someone picks on you because of my…" DX cleared his throat before continuing, "...man?"

Lyle shrugged, "They tried..."

While keeping his eyes on the road, DX placed a hand on Lyle's head before saying, "You are a good boy. Don't worry about this. I will settle it soon."

Lyla glanced at his father before asking, "Dad?"

"Yeah?"

"Do you really like him?"

"You mean K?" DX smiled, "Yeah..."

"More than us?" asked Lyle. He had a feeling that his father was completely smitten by that 'man'.

DX sighed, "Lyle…"

Glancing down at his fingers, Lyle asked in a meek voice, "What about mummy?"

As if he did not hear his son, DX suddenly spoke,

"Your birthday is coming up. Let's throw a party this year and invite all your friends."

Lyle sighed when he realized that his question went unanswered. Still, he said, "Dad, you know that I don't like big parties. Grandma would definitely invite all those annoying adults!"

"You would like this one. We will have a Halloween style themed party, and I will make sure that your Grandma doesn't go overboard with her invitation. Don't worry about her."

When they arrived at the Du Mansion, the servants who had been on standby immediately rushed out to carry the things in.

Even though they offered to carry the children back to their room, DX chose to carry Jack and Qhuinn by himself. After all, they were his.

Once he placed the children down on the bed, he turned to Lyle and said, "You should sleep soon or you would be too tired for school tomorrow."

When DX turned to leave, Lyle reached out and grabbed his shirt, "Dad..."

Sitting down on the bed, DX looked at Lyle's solemn face. He ruffled his hair before saying,"You are an exact carbon copy of me, aren't you?"

Lyle blushed and shrugged, "I think so. Do you not like it?"

He gently knocked his son's forehead before replying, "Of course I love that my son looks like me. But even if you don't, I would still love you just the same."

Lyle sat next to his father and said, "You are only saying that because I am here."

"Lyle, I don't know what that…" DX stopped himself in time. He had to constantly remind himself that the person was the twins' biological mother.

He took a deep breath before continuing, "...that woman told you before but I'm sure if your mummy is here, she would say the same thing."

Lyle looked down at his toes as he mumbled, "Why didn't she come and see me?"

"I know she wanted to see you, but she had her reasons. You have to give her time to deal with her own problems first"

Lyle glanced up at DX and with watery eyes, he asked, "Dad, are you really going to be with K? What if Mummy comes back? Why don't you be with her? She's better than that K in every way!"

DX stood up, "Lyle, we will talk about this another time."

Before his son can say anything else, he walked out of the room and closed the door behind him. While on the way to his room, he sent a message to Kai Xin,

[ Are you still awake? I would be staying at the hotel tonight.]
