Chapter 689 - Taking Advantage (2/2)

He wondered what sort of rumours would be going around the HQ after this.

Which reminds him. He had better give the order that Sayuri would have the same access as the Elite Five and his parents in the HQ. If she had been held up anywhere, he would probably have gotten an earful from her later on.

Right now, there were more urgent matters to settle.

Samantha, who was now fed-up with their constant show of affection, was waiting impatiently at the door.

Taking Sayuri's hand in his, Kyle walked out and led the way to his office.

When the door was opened and the little boy saw his mother, his angelic face burst into a smile. Kyle subconsciously squeezed Sayuri's hand tighter, his heart in a mess. Truly, the innocent one in this whole thing was that little boy and Kyle did not really know what was the best method to tackle this.

Though he had told him the truth earlier, the hope and desire did not fade from the boy's face. The boy truly believed and had faith in his mother.

Would he be able to handle the fact that he, Kyle, was not his father? That he - and most likely his mother, as well - had been living a lie all this time? How can Kyle handle this?

The reason why Kyle wanted to spend time with Junior was to assess his mental state and well-being. Correcting the lies would be difficult and not possible within a day. The child would most likely get traumatized but if he was to allow the lie to continue, it would only get worse.

The child would feel betrayed.

There was no easy solution.

”Mummy!” Junior said happily, and ran over to her. He noticed Kyle behind his mother and he was smiling as well, until he saw Kyle holding onto Sayuri's hand.

”Mummy, why is Daddy holding her hand?” he asked innocently.

Before Samantha could answer, Sayuri had stepped forward and went down on her knees to be at his eye level, ”Hello, my name is Sayuri. Nice to meet you.”

The boy was startled at first, but answered politely, ”I'm Kyle Junior. Nice to meet you, too.”

”Kyle Junior? Why, what a coincidence. My husband's name is Kyle as well,” Sayuri said and she turned to Kyle, ”Right, honey?”

”Husband?!” Samantha almost shrieked, ”He's not your husband!”

Sayuri blinked, ”Well, yes, he isn't officially my husband right now but he's as good as is.”

Junior looked confused.

”But but … Mummy said Daddy would be with us from now on,” he said, his lips quivering, ”That we would be one family.”

”It's not Mummy's fault,” Sayuri said gently, ”She didn't know about me. Look, your mother already agreed to let you stay overnight with us. So we can get to know you. Would you like that?”

His eyes went wide and he looked at his mother excitedly, ”Can I? Really?”
