Junior came out of the bathroom and Kyle ruffled his hair as he passed by, to enter it. Junior watched his 'father' go into the bathroom, his eyes locked on the door until it closed. Even after that, he remained there, outside the door and waited.
Sayuri came by and put her hand on his shoulder, saying, "Come, have your breakfast. He'll be out soon."
Junior shook his head, not wanting to leave the spot.
"He would feel upset if he sees that you've not started eating yet," Sayuri said, trying to coax him, "You don't want him to worry about you now, do you?"
It was only then that Junior made a move, albeit reluctantly.
Sayuri sighed deep in her heart.
She knew how soft-hearted Kyle was with regard to children, so she did not know what would his actions be for this. Sometimes, the mind says something, but the heart will do what it wants.
She should know.
