Chapter 1350 I Will Protect You
After he had finished prattling, Juan turned to Kyle and questioned, âSay, do you think my conjecture that she deliberately approached Grandma makes sense?â
Kyle jerked his head to the side and glowered at him. âYouâll have plenty of opportunities to interact with her soon, so you can verify that yourself!â As soon as he was done speaking, he slammed the car door shut with a bang.
At that, bewilderment suffused Juan.
He seems rather livid. Whatâs wrong with him? Hmm⦠How baffling!
When they had returned, Nicole considerately inquired about their blind dates.
With a grim expression on his face, Kyle declared that he didnât fancy his date before storming upstairs.
Seeing that, Nicole frowned. He seems to be rather morose. Does he really hate the girl?
âWhat about you, Juan?â
While propping his face with a hand, Juan narrowed his eyes and thoughtfully replied, âIâve got to interact with her a bit more before I can tell for sure.â
âIn that case, do your best! Iâve got confidence in you!â
âMe too, Juan!â Maya seconded at the side.
Juan then turned to her and suddenly asked, âDo you have a boyfriend, Maya? If you donât, Grandma will introduce one to you.â
âI donât, and Iâm not interested either!â
âIs that something you can arbitrarily decide? Kyle and I didnât want to go on our blind dates either, but we still had to listen to Grandma and went, no? Just you wait. Youâll be next. I wonder what kind of boyfriend sheâll find you. Perhaps sheâll get you someone from the same industry!â
âFrom the same industry? You mean, someone who also owns a food plaza?â
âIt wonât necessarily be that, but he definitely has to be a foodie who loves to eat. Only then will you both match! Isnât there a saying that couples should complement each other? I think he might not necessarily be a good cook, but heâll certainly be someone who eats well. Then, you can cook delicious food for him every day!â
Upon hearing that, Maya looked him up and down. âJuan, I realized that youâre getting increasingly sharp-tongued. Youâre my brother, so shouldnât you be hoping that I donât have to do anything? If my future boyfriend really coerces me into cooking for him every day, you should also side with me and seek justice for me, warning him not to order me around. Thatâs how a brother should act toward his sister! No brother thinks as you do, hoping that Iâll be a maid every day and serve my man!â
Juan turned it over in his mind. âHmm, that makes sense. Iâll commit it to memory, so donât worry. At that time, Iâll protect you.â
âIâll protect you as well, Maya!â At the side, Joy, who had just come downstairs, gazed at Maya while blinking her big eyes.
Strolling over in delight, Maya leaned down and pinched her dainty face. âAw, youâre so good to me! What would you like to eat, then? Iâll cook for you!â
âIâll protect you too, Maya. I want to have a fruit platter! Will you prepare it for me?â Zayden asked with wide obsidian eyes.
Maya contemplated for a moment before she answered, âSure! Wait for a moment. Iâll go and prepare a fruit platter. When itâs ready, you two can share it.â
âI want to eat, too!â Luke, who was descending the stairs, chimed in.
âOkay, you three share it, then.â
Subsequently, Maya went to the kitchen. Meanwhile, Juan stared at the three children.
Uncle Davin and Mr. Levant are really stoic. Their children have been staying at someone elseâs house for a week now, but theyâre still not coming over to pick them up. Uncle Davin has at least come over once to visit Zayden, but Mr. Levant hasnât been here to visit Luke at all! Is this how he such be treating his biological son? At that thought, he scrutinized Luke.
âWhy are you staring at me like that, Juan?â Luke queried.
Juan leaned down and patted him on the head. âDo you miss your mommy and daddy, Luke?â
Lukeâs eyes betrayed his thoughts, and Juan perceptively realized that he indeed missed his parents.
âHow about you give your mommy and daddy a call?â
Luke considered that for some time, but he then shook his head.
