Chapter 1656 Pinky Promise

Back in Kyle’s room, things were a little different.

At that moment, Zayden was glaring at Kyle with a head of ruffled hair and one hand on his cheek.

“It’s the middle of the night. Where did you go?”

“I went to the bathroom.” Kyle brushed him off.

“You’re lying. I checked. There was no one in the bathroom,” Zayden refuted.

“I was in the study,” came another lie from Kyle.

“Why were you in the study? Don’t you know it’s dangerous to leave a child sleeping alone?”

Kyle was quiet for a moment.

Looking at Zayden’s disheveled state, he felt sorry for him, so he cleared his throat and admitted, “Yes, it’s my bad. However, you got a little careless as well. How could you roll off the bed and knock yourself on the head at your age?”

Zayden pouted while looking over to Kyle’s king-sized bed and said in a disgruntled voice, “It’s because you have a tiny bed! I’m not sleeping with you tomorrow!”

Kyle did not say anything.

That’s excellent news for me, you little rascal.

“Okay. I’ll get you that robot I promised you tomorrow.”

At the mention of the robot, Zayden finally simmered down. “All right. I’ll be the one choosing!”

“Sure!”

Upon receiving an affirmative reply from Kyle, the boy hopped back onto the bed and continued his sleep.

However, Kyle was filled with apprehension. Grandma will surely ask about the injury on Zayden’s face. What should I tell her?

When they awoke the following day, Kyle looked at Zayden’s swollen cheek and urged him not to speak the truth.

However, Zayden protested, “I’m the one that got hurt here. Why should I listen to you?”

“If you do as I say, I’ll get you three robots. Okay?”

Zayden gave it some thought before he replied, “I don’t want that many robots. Hmm… I want the latest Lego set!”

“Deal!”

Seeing that Kyle responded decisively, Zayden figured he could procure more benefits out of it.

“I want two sets of Lego. And I want a feast! It’s been so long since I last ate to my heart’s content after Maya left.”

Kyle quietly looked at the impish boy for a brief moment before accepting his request. “All right. I’ll get you what you just said, but no more bargaining.”

“Okay! Pinky promise! Those who break it will turn into dogs!”

Smiling, Kyle ruffled the little boy’s hair. “Pinky promise.”

When the two came down and arrived at the dining room, the whole family had already gathered. Sophia was praising how beautiful Joy’s new hairstyle was before she complimented Sally for it.

Sally smiled bashfully in response. Upon turning around and spotting Kyle, she blushed from being reminded of the passionate night they shared.

Kyle thought her shy response was adorable.

“Sally, thank you for looking after Joy even though you’re pregnant,” Nicole said.

“It’s no problem. Joy is cute and sensible. I like her a lot.”

“I like Sally too. Sally’s beautiful and kind. She’s very nice to me,” Joy praised.

After hearing Joy’s comment, Zayden glanced at Kyle and felt hurt by how different their experiences were.

Look at how great Sally took care of Joy, while all I got was a swollen face. I wonder how Grandma would react when she sees me.

“Grandma!”

When they reached the table, Nicole was the first one to notice his face. “What happened, Zayden? What’s wrong with your face?” she asked, concerned.

Zayden was about to answer her when Davin’s loud voice rang out, interrupting him.

“Good morning, everybody!” Davin greeted.

“Why are you here this early, Uncle Davin?” Juan asked in surprise.

“You told me Steven’s coming over today. This is a big deal, so I have to be early,” Davin said as he entered the dining room.
