Chapter 399 Country Tz (2/2)

After all, he was their Boss.

✿.✿.✿.✿

Patrick was pursing his lips, reading a report about the last venture Kyle had done for the company. There wasn't much fault in it, and he could hardly reprimand his son for it. The skills he was showcasing here was impressive.

Yet, he couldn't help but feel rather upset about this.

Kyle seemed to be completely independent, and all his actions seemed to be purposely avoiding any sort of dependency on them. Kay was different.

Ever since they were small, you could tell the stark difference between the two.

Kay would be the sort of baby that wanted to be spoilt by everyone, demanding attention and seeking love from all - even though most of the time it was towards her brother rather than her own parents.

Kyle, on the other hand, never seemed to need it. He shied away fom any sort of show of physical intimacy. He would even cringe a bit from hugs, let alone kisses on the cheeks. He never voiced it, however, and the fact that he was suppressing his dislike for it made them subconsciously stop giving it.

Yet, the more he seemed to keep pushing him away, the more Patrick wanted Kyle to know that he was still a kid. He still needed his parents. He is still a young boy, learning about the ways of life.

Aggravatingly, Kyle had not been showing any signs of the typical 'teen boy problems'. No fights. No girl drama. Top student. Role model. All the teachers had only good things to say about him, and the Principal.

Patrick snorted. The Principal even appeared to be Kyle's fan.

Any parent would have been ecstatic to be in his shoes, but they didn't know.

They didn't know how much Patrick feared for Kyle.

He was extremely worried that Kyle was setting himself up for a fall. To be this good, this self-sufficient, was abnormal. How would he cope when he makes a mistake? Can he handle it? He had smooth sailing all this while and never suffered.

How would he handle a set-back?

Patrick had been keen on Kyle getting his legal dependency - not because he was pushing him away, but because he was convinced that with this last 'line' cut, Kyle would be more reckless. More at risk. And Patrick would be there to help pick up the pieces and finally, finally show to Kyle that he needs his parents.

After all, he was still a kid and Patrick was the adult here.
