Juan and Kyle stood up and said, âMommy, we want him to be our bodyguard and protect us. Please.â
Bodyguard.
Blinking her eyes, Maya said her words without filtering. âIt could work. Yodaâs face can scare baddies away.â
Nina chimed in, âIf Yoda can be Juan and Kyleâs bodyguard, I can practice my make-up skills by using him as my model.â
If I can make his hideous face look attractive, that means my skills have improved.
Nicole recalled the times the kids asked her about Evanâs return. It may be better to have someone accompanying them, so they wonât ask me when Evan will come back again and again as I canât give them an answer. Itâs for the bestâ¦
âAre you willing to be my kidsâ bodyguard? We can discuss your pay.â She finally agreed after being silent for a while.
Yoda nodded in agreement.
She said, âAlright, thank you. Iâll pay you enough.â
Yoda nodded again.
âThatâs amazing! From now on, you shall follow us, Yoda.â
Nina said, âYoda, after weâre back, Iâll help you do some make-up.â
And Kyle asked, âYoda, do you know Taekwondo? Can you accompany me during my Taekwondo practice?â
Yoda nodded again.
The kids held his hands and smiled happily.
Nicole, who was following behind them, felt a pang of sadness in her heart. If only youâre Evan, Yoda.
Butâ¦
Fate is cruel.
The news about Yoda shopping with Nicole while holding the kidsâ hands spread like wildfire and became a trending topic.
Those people who took photos of them only took Yodaâs back, and his figure looked like Evan.
And this caused an uproar.
When Jonathan and Sophia saw the topic and photos, they couldnât hold back their excitement.
Sophia shouted, âIs he Evan? Is this my son?â
Jonathan said, âNot at all. Look at his clothing. Evan wonât wear something so shabby.â
Sophia argued. âHe doesnât look like Evan from the way he dresses, but his back looks similar. Iâll have to call Nicole.â
Upon saying her words, she stood up as thoughts swirled her mind. âNo⦠No. Iâll have to see for myself. What if my son lives and comes back to us? I need to know if heâs Evan.â
She quickly put away her stuff and dragged Jonathan to Nicoleâs house.
Sheila and Davin, too, felt surprised as they scrutinized the photos and discussed. Is he actually Evan?
Sheila said, âHe looks like Evan.â
Davin replied, âNo. We need to confirm if heâs Evan.â
Sheila suggested, âThen, we need to see his face.â
After digesting her suggestion, Davin did as she said. âHis face? Okay. Iâll call Juan to ask where theyâre at. And we shall go to see for ourselves.â
Feeling excited, Sheila urged, âAlright. Quick, call him.â
Davin took his phone and immediately dialed Juanâs number.
Meanwhile, when Lisa saw the topic on trending, she was so shocked that her expression changed immediately.
She muttered, âHe⦠He lived?â
Adam replied, âNo. I donât think he is Evan. Who do you think Evan is? According to Evanâs taste in fashion and his quality of life, heâll never wear something so plain.â
Lisa insisted, âYou donât think so? But look at his back.â
Adam argued. âThereâs nothing his back can prove. We need to see his face.â
Lisa asked, âThen, shall we go see him?â
Adam said, âNo need. Others are more eager to know the truth. We only have to go to the Seet Residence.â
Right, Jonathan and Sophia must be rushing to investigate the matter personally. We only need to wait for the news.
âAlright, letâs go now.â Lisa agreed with Adamâs opinion.
Imperial Garden.
Nina held Yodaâs hand, insisting to help him with some make-up while Yoda didnât refuse and went along with her.
Juan, Kyle, and Maya stared at Yodaâs face while passing the make-up products one by one to Nina.
They wanted to see if Yoda would look good with make-up.
After more than an hour of putting on make-ups here and there on his face, Yodaâs face changed entirely.
When Maya saw his face, she was stunned. âWow! He looks like Daddy!â
Kyle chimed in and said, âHe really does resembles Daddy.â
Juan advised, âNina, your make-up skills are amazing. You mustnât let your talent go to waste, so be a make-up artist when you grow up.â
