Chapter 425 - Set for Life (2/2)

After all, he had been doing that for the past 15 years, and it just boiled over and erupted at that moment. Seeing their faces just made it all so bittersweet. His heart felt like it was literally breaking, and he actually felt pain right in his chest as he watched his kids.

How he missed them.

His emotions were still in turmoil, but he was handling it.

He had cried most of the grief away, and he wanted nothing more than to just be by himself. However, he knew that was not good as he could get lost in his dark thoughts, so he let Xing Han lead him away.

Xing Han brought him to a mamak store,* one that Kyle had brought him to before. Plopping the zombie-like Kyle, he ordered instant noodle 'special' i.e. a bowl of hot piping instant noodles with vegetables and a raw egg dropped into the hot soup (thus, making it half-cooked).

Comfort food.

Slowly, Kyle became a bit more human as he listened to Xing Han chatting away unreservedly, laughing and joking. Kyle smiled, thinking about how truly lucky he was to have Xing Han in his life.

”I have to ask you this,” Xing Han said to Kyle as they were eating, ”Your kids ... they look like they're kinda ... ”

”Yes,” Kyle answered, knowing what Xing Han was getting at, ”My husband's surname is Yang.”

”Wow. Really?” Xing Han mused, ”So is that why you're so proficient in my culture and such?”

Kyle shrugged, ”Yeah, though I never learned the language.”

Taking a deep breath, Xing Han ventured on, ”About your kids ... well, you said you won't initiate any contact until your first death. So what are your plans for them?”

Kyle played with the fork on the table, twirling it around in his hands and flipping it around before answering, ”I'll slowly get into their lives. I plan to offer them a scholarship. Use my death as a reason for why a kid like me would do so - that is, I felt pity for two young kids for having lost their mother.”

”I want to continue supporting them, and in ways, I couldn't before.” Kyle continued, ”I've opened up Swiss bank accounts for them, and made some investments in their name. Passive income, which earns them a million a year. It's managed on trust and they'll be given an income when they are of age.”

”Wow,” Xing Han whistled softly, ”So you've basically set them up for life already.”

”Yeah,” Kyle said, ”So they don't really need to work. They have the freedom to do whatever they want.”

”Not like us.”
