Chapter 1928 Love Rival

“Zayden always forgets his lines while Yuvan constantly improvises. They are wasting my time because of their poor performances. Please agree to let Yuvan stay here so that he can rehearse with Zayden, Daddy,” Joy said.

“Exactly, Uncle Evan. Please let him stay. He’s not going to bother anyone here since there’s so much room in Imperial Garden.”

Evan merely gazed at the two children in silence throughout their attempt to persuade him. He was determined to prohibit an outsider from staying in Imperial Garden. Evan told them to practice on the set after the filming was done before returning home if rehearsing was their concern.

Joy and Zayden exchanged glances. Both of them thought Evan was being unreasonable.

Zayden grumbled, “Why can’t you accept him, Uncle Evan?”

“Why don’t you like Yuvan, Daddy?”

“There’s no need for the two of you to ask so many questions. Remember to stay away from him off the set,” Evan exhorted.

The two children knew they would not be able to convince Evan, judging from his unswerving stance. Zayden turned to leave in anger while Joy trailed behind him.

“Wait up, Zayden.”

Joy strode across the room to catch up to Zayden. Zayden looked at her and murmured, “My daddy mentioned Uncle Evan is a petty man.”

Joy did not understand him.

Zayden explained, “He told me Uncle Evan does not allow any outstanding men to get close to your mommy. He’s scared that your mommy will fall for Yuvan because Yuvan is much younger than him. That’s why Yuvan’s presence repulses him. He does not want Yuvan to have the chance to interact with your mommy.”

“Don’t listen to Uncle Davin’s nonsense. You’re too young to understand these complicated concepts, Zayden.”

“I know what I’m saying. Your daddy is treating Yuvan as his love rival. That’s why he’s not allowing him to stay here!”

Joy decided not to argue further with Zayden. She knew he would not listen to anything she said because he harbored prejudice toward her father.

“What should we do now? Should we tell Yuvan to go home? The two of you can practice on the set after you finish school tomorrow.”

A mischievous smile flashed across Zayden’s face as he asked for Joy’s assistance.

“How can I help?”

“You’re helping me as long as you do not tell on me. Can you do that?”

Joy gave it a thought before nodding.

Zayden jogged toward the entrance with a smug expression. He put on an adult-like act and told a lie to the butler and Yuvan, who were waiting for an update, “Uncle Evan said he’s allowed to enter now.”

The butler had no other choice but to follow the order since Zayden mentioned Evan had permitted it, despite the doubts in his mind.

“Please come in.”

Yuvan was delighted. “I knew it. Mr. Seet would grant your wishes since he’s so fond of you two.”

“Stop talking. Hurry up and come in,” Zayden urged. He was afraid Evan would replace out about them and chase Yuvan out of the house.

Yuvan drove his car into Imperial Garden’s compound and proudly followed the duo upstairs.

“Wow, your house is so luxurious. All the decorations and furniture must be costly,” Yuvan commented while taking in the place’s interior.

“Come in! Quickly!” Zayden urged Yuvan again in a diminished voice.

“What’s the hurry? This is my first time here in your house and my first time seeing such magnificent designs. I want to appreciate the beauty of this place.”

Yuvan was unfazed. He slowed down his steps to admire the interior of the house.

Joy asked worriedly, “What if Daddy replaces out about him because of his carefree attitude?”

“I’m afraid Uncle Evan will kick him out of the house.”

Zayden walked up to Yuvan and dragged the latter into his room in a hurry.
