Liliana walked up to them and hugged them.


    She checked them from head to toe, much to the boy’s embarrassment. When she was satisfied that they were unharmed, she spanked them.


    Li looked at his mother incredulously, but she red back at him.


    “How dare you run away? Didn’t you know the address of your home? If you encounter something you can’t handle, youe to me. Is that such a difficult concept to grasp?”


    “Look at how filthy you have be! Is this how you n to set an example for your siblings?”


    Kyle hugged her and sobbed, “I am sorry, Mommy.”


    Li did the same, and Liliana hugged the two children close.


    Liliana eximed, “Ah! It reminds me of when we had just returned to P city. Jo – that traitor, left me for her father. I had the two of you to hug.”


    She led them to the ensuite bathroom and asked them to clean up. She sat them down and asked them to drink water and eat the pies she had made that afternoon.


    After the kids were well-fed and hydrated, she sat on the couch with the kids on each side.


    Jonathan sat on the arm of the couch. And others sat down as well.


    Liliana asked, “Now, let’s see what’s worrying you the most.”N?velDrama.Org owns ? this.


    Kyle lowered his head and clenched his fist. Li held his hand and spoke for him.


    “Uncle Liam is gay. Kyle should have Daddy and Daddy, but he tricked Aunty Mer and gave Daddy and Mommy.”


    He surmised the best he could.


    Mariana couldn’t help but cry. The kids loved them so much.


    She went up to Kyle and sat beside him. She hugged him and scolded him gently.


    “I always knew Liam and Jacob were gay. In fact, I was their matchmaker. You guys know what matchmaking is, right?”


    Li nodded.


    Mariana added, “We cooperated to fool others. But that wasn’t because of you, Kyle. It was for your sister – Ivy – and other political reasons.”


    Liliana interjected, “Do you remember when we exined gay and lesbian to you guys? Narrow-minded people think being gay or lesbian is bad, so they make life difficult for them. It is one of the reasons, amongst others, that resulted in Liam and Mariana’s marriage.”


    Jonathan seconded them, “It was a well-thought-out n between us. We tricked the bad people – and some of our family members because they worry too much. But no one in this room tricked another.”


    Kyle nodded.


    He directly asked, “Who are my parents?”


    Liam looked at Kyle for a long while and muttered, “I was looking for a – “Sorry, Dad! I shouldn’t have doubted you.” – but sure!”


    Jacob gave him a stink eye. ‘What’s wrong with him?’


    He saw the look on Liam’s face and understood his concerns. Kyle was too young.


    Liam did not want Kyle to carry that kind of burden.


    But the cat was out of the bag, and they needed to spill the beans.


    Jacob held Liam’s hand and inteced their fingers. He gave him a reassuring nod and smiled.


    Liam looked at Kyle again and said, “It’s a long story. It started many years before you were born.”


    Mariana didn’t know the entire truth, so she only gawked at him. Just like everyone else.


    Liliana snapped, “Wow! Such a nice bedtime story! Should we all go to bed?”


    Liam cried back, “Hey! You exin then! I will see how you make these 11-year-olds understand it.”


    Liliana snapped, “They are almost 12, and my kids are smarter than you think, dickhead.”


    “And before youe with a smarteback, remember we are in this predicament because you couldn’t keep it in your pants.”


    Jonathan coughed and patted his wife’s shoulders to calm her down.
