He was usually gentle but tonight he couldn't help getting angry at her and blaming everything on herself.
Before Erica could react or understand what was happening, Kai coldly picked up their son and left the villa.
It was already eleven o'clock at night and the driver didn't expect Kai would come out from Madam Erica's room. Kai had been staying here for twenty days in this past month but today he suddenly wanted to leave in anger without any explanation.
Sitting in the car, the driver nervously glanced at his boss. "Sir, where are we going now?"
"To Poppy's place."
"Okay."
The luxury car sped away, and the sound of a crying child faded into the distance.
Erica stood at the window watching as the car disappeared from view. She couldn't believe it - he had actually left her behind!
Iker's Estate.
Iker was about to go to sleep when he heard a loud noise outside.
"Tanner, what's going on?"
Hearing Iker call for him, Tanner hurriedly ran up from downstairs and stood at Iker's door to answer.
"Master Kai has arrived."
Kai? What was he doing here?
A mocking smirk appeared on Iker's handsome face. "This guy really has some nerve - coming over here in the middle of the night instead of staying with his woman."
Tanner looked down, how could he know that?
In a moment, Kai appeared in black pajamas with a child in his arms and walked up to Iker.
The child in the man's arms immediately caught his attention.
That must be his third younger brother. From birth until now, Iker had only seen this child twice.
The first time was at his full moon banquet and today was the second time.
The little one hugged his father tightly with both hands, tears welling up as he looked at the figure before him. In a timid voice, he called out, "Brother."
Iker narrowed his upturned eyes and disgust was evident on his face.
"What are you doing here?" This question was directed at Kai.
The latter looked slightly embarrassed and coughed before saying, "I planned to go to your aunt's place but she's not home tonight. She went out with friends."
He didn't want to go to Thalia's either since her temperament was fiery. If she saw him bringing a young child along, it would surely lead to some questioning.
After thinking it over, Kai had no choice but to come here instead.
"As the head of the Todd family, you can't find somewhere else to live? Don't be ridiculous. You know me well enough - I like peace and quiet." He deliberately glanced at the small boy in Kai's arms. Property of Nô)(velDr(a)ma.Org.
Kai replied, "Don't worry. We won't disturb you."
With that said, Kai carried the child upstairs.
The little child kept looking at his brother and said in a soft voice, "Brother, I won't cry. I'm actually very quiet..."
"Tanner, take them upstairs. If there's any noise while I'm sleeping, drive them away!" Iker ordered in a cold and domineering tone.
He wheeled himself back to the bedroom with both hands.
Kai breathed a sigh of relief and followed Tanner upstairs. The latter led him straight to the room which was empty and cold.
"Is there... any other option?" Kai asked.
Scratching his head nervously, Tanner replied, "Master Kai, there are only three rooms available here: one for Master Iker; one that Miss Lawrence has slept in before but is now off-limits; and this temporary room."
Kai's face darkened upon hearing this news. Iker clearly had plenty of money but why did his place was so shabby?
Oh well... it was just for one night anyway, so he decided to endure it.
"Oh yeah," Kai remembered suddenly. "Go find me a family doctor please. Lewis has caught a cold and isn't feeling well."
"Sure thing."
Meanwhile, on the other side of the wall, Iker was still awake listening to footsteps outside his door. Who would call for a doctor at this time of night?
Soon, Tanner returned with news that the little brat was sick.
...
Cheyenne had to stay in the hospital for two days. During those two days, Layne went to Iker's Estate to take care of Iker. When Kai heard that Cheyenne was still in the hospital, he felt even more ashamed and asked his butler to prepare many gifts to send over.
