New Life : A Second Chance

As much as Kyle hated to admit it, the infidelity had been for the best. Though some may not think so or feel that the wrong would never make a right.

It wasn't that he was justifying the means, but rather, the outcome had been for the best. From it, he had learned to focus on what had to be done.

As Kylie, she had been wallowing in self-pity, depreciating thoughts about herself and had been slowly spiraling down the path that was perhaps, not too good.

However, upon knowing that some person had found her desirable did a lot for her self esteem. She had even tried to be braver and try to communicate with her husband, but he still shut her out.

Despite that, instead of questioning herself like she used to do, she had focused on her children instead.

Whether that was better for her marriage, Kyle wouldn't know. Not even now. But it did save him from going into depression, and he was forever grateful to Chris for it.

Kyle sent a silent prayer to Chris, wishing him all the best, wherever he may be.

?.?.?.?

The first thing Kyle did upon touching down in Country Tz was to go to and visit Father. He had to explain things to him.

Kyle told Sam to go home first, and that he would contact Sam once he was finished with the things here.

However, Sam insisted on staying with Kyle, saying, "Since you're going back to Country Tz, I shall stay and help until then."

Kyle nodded, grateful to Sam for his unwavering support. Why couldn't Patrick be like that?

Master Shifu had, naturally, been surprised to see him since he knew that Kyle was supposed to be back after the second interview. Upon seeing his serious expression however, he simply waited for Kyle to approach him.

When Kyle went off to talk with Master Shifu, Xing Han was being fed by Auntie Rheia. He was happily gobbling down food when Nitocris came back.

Nitocris couldn't believe his eyes when he opened the door and saw his beloved puppy stuffing his face with food. Nitocris had to hold back his smile, upon seeing how adorable his puppy looked, with his cheeks puffed up full like a chipmunk and his eyes practically sparkling with joy.

Still, Nitocris was a bit worried. Why were they back so early? What had happened?

When he had called up Kyle the other day, Kyle had not mentioned that they would be coming back, and that everything was fine.

Although the discomfort and nagging feeling of something not being right, Nitocris didn't push it. After all, what could he do on the other side of the globe, right? Even if he had shouted over the phone or insisted for Kyle to tell him, there was no way Nitocris could threaten or glare at him to talk.

He had been planning to ask Kyle when they came back and lo and behold. They were back.

Nitocris took off his jacket and sat down at the table.

WIth surprise, he saw Xing Han turn towards him and glared at him, his chewing becoming chomps of anger.

What was with him? Before they left for the promotional tour, Xing Han had been rather cordial with him. Friendly even. But now?

"What's wrong?" Nitocris asked gently, seeing how agitated Xing Han was.

Xing Han pouted, which made him look even cuter than ever. It took all of Nitocris's willpower not to go over and pinch those cheeks. He had been missing his puppy so very badly and now, seeing how agitated he was, Nitocris's heart was in pain.

"It's all your fault," Xing Han said, spluttering a few pieces of food out of his mouth as he said so, "Because of you, Kyle is leaving."

Nitocris frowned.

"What? Kyle is leaving? To where?"

Xing Han swallowed and stared at his sandwich.

"Xing Han," Nitocris said softly, "What happened?"

Xing Han's mouth started quivering.

He wanted to be angry at Nitocris, damnit. He was the start of all of this. But somehow, seeing this gentle side of Nitocris, he couldn't.

Xing Han was trying to be strong, but it was getting hard. Just thinking about Kyle going off and leaving him behind made him fear for the worst - or rather, for the change.

"He had a huge fight with his father," Xing Han began, "So Kyle decided not to go back home."

Nitocris raised an eyebrow at that, saying in surprise, "Kyle is throwing a tantrum?"

"No!" Xing Han said, his voice getting louder, "Uncle Patrick is the one who kicked him out!! It's your fault!! If he wasn't helping you, he wouldn't even be in this position in the first place!!!"

Nitocris mind reeled. Now it's his fault?!
