Isla and Kai were left in the living room. Kai was still trying to beg his mother for Playstation 2 but Isla didn't agree. 

"My cute little, you have to understand that your father is stubborn. Once he made a decision, it's impossible to stop him."

"But you can, Mom. I saw you convinced Dad last time, why don't you help me this time?"

Kai witnessed how Isla easily convinced Jeremy to stay in the house last night. Perhaps only the women in the Castillo family could control the men. They were the kryptonite.

"I know, right? Fufu, it's because your Dad loves me." She giggled. Deeply in love. 

"..." Kai was speechless.

'Does that means that Dad doesn't love me? I guess so, Dad never really takes me seriously. He always tells me that education is important. How so? I can just ask great-grandpa and grandpa to give me a job once I grew up. I believe Dad is stupid, nobody just really knows it.'

Kai thought. 

"Don't worry son, your Dad will buy you a PlayStation 2. As long as you passed your math."

Isla didn't regret that she seduced Jeremy. At that time, Jeremy actually had a vague relationship with his ex-fiancee. 

She was determined to make Jeremy her husband. Jeremy didn't reject her too. He was even vigorous and active in bed...

At their wedding, Jeremy's ex-fiancee tried to stop the wedding but her interference didn't end well.

'Fufu, you have to fight for love.'

Since then, Jeremy has proven himself to Isla. He was too loving in bed. So much that Isla wanted another child. 

'If there's only one thing I don't like about him, he didn't have a strong sense of time... He always stays in his office. I have to visit him just to stop his workaholic side.'

Jeremy was the best man. But he was not perfect. That was the reason why Isla loved him. 

"Mom, who's the person that Grandma is talking about?"

"Are you talking about Keith? He is your Uncle."

"Uncle? I heard about him but I never saw him. Was he dead or something?"

"Of course not. You Uncle just left the family and never came back."

"Silly. You were still a baby when Keith was here."

Isla recalled Jeremy's younger brother.

'If I'm going to be honest, Keith and Sean are the same. They are heartbreakers.'

It was almost six years since the last time he saw the young man. Keith was 18 years old when he left the house and never returned. 

'He is a good person to me but he is a famous bastard in his high school and college. I still can't believe that he will settle for a woman.'

That was the shocking part. Keith decided to leave the Castillo to protect his girlfriend. 

"Why did he leave?"

"Well... How should I put it? Your grandpa didn't like his girlfriend because she's from a poor family. Besides, Keith was engaged with his childhood friend at that time."

There was actually another reason but Isla didn't elaborate. Kai was still too young to understand it. 

"Anyway, if you see your Uncle Keith, you have to greet him with respect."

"... I'm still skeptical about that. If he's like Dad, then I will immediately lose all of my respect for him. A stoic Grandpa and Dad are already enough, I don't want another stoic person in the family!"

"Don't worry, Keith is not that person."

Isla smiled and stroked his hair. Now, she was also curious about the conversation that Jeremy and the others were having. 

...

...

... 

Leah followed her two sons into a room to talk to her about what she saw. She wiped her tears and controlled her sobbing. 

She was still affected by what she saw. She could not believe that she would see her youngest son again. She didn't have favoritism. But she was always worried about Keith. He was the youngest after all. 

"Keith, wuuwuuwuwu..."

The two brothers sighed as they watched their mother crying. 

"I miss my son... Waaahhh--!"

Like a child, their mother started sobbing. It was fortunate that they were in a soundproofed room, or else the maids might be terrified if they saw the Madam crying. 

"Mom, you have to calm down. I'm sure Keith is doing fine." Sean tried to soothe his mother 

"But my son... Wuuwuuwuwu, he is definitely living a life of a normal person... Wuuwuuwuwu."

"Mom, living a normal life is not that bad."

"But Keith is not used to living like that..."

She had a point. Keith never experienced the life of a poor man. When Keith and Penelope eloped, Keith worked so hard. He realized that making money was not simple. Since then, he became mature and appreciated the blessings he had. 

"Sean, Jeremy. Please help me find your brother! He needs our help!"

This time, the two brothers were quiet. They didn't want to tell their mother that they already helped Keith. 

"Anyway, Mom. How did you find Keith?" Sean changed the topic. 

"About that... I saw Keith and his family walking in the market in Pala-pala. I tried to approach him but he left using a Toyota Pickup Truck... Wait a minute!"

Leah recalled something important. The car that Keith used, Leah believed that she saw it a few years ago. 

It was a car that she bought for Keith 8 years ago! Now she knew the reason why she remembered the car. 

"If I'm wrong, you used that car last time, isn't that right, Jeremy?"

Leah glared at her oldest son. She was starting to fix the puzzle. 

"..."

Jeremy didn't answer. Instead, he stared at Sean. 

'You shouldn't have asked her about how she met Keith.'

'I didn't know that she will actually remember the car!'

The two brothers started communicating using their gazes. In the end, Leah caught up. 

"You two... Are you doing something behind my back?"

She glared at the two. 

"..."

"..."

"I can't believe that you will do this to me! Your own Mother!"

She was angry. 

"Jeremy! Explain everything to me!"

"Mom, why don't you ask me instead?" Sean tried to step between the two. 

"Shut up Sean! I can't trust you at all! How can I know if you are lying or not!?"

"..." Sean realized that his words were not convincing. 

"Jeremy! Tell me the truth!'
