New Life : A Second Chance Chapter 709

Sayuri couldn't help but laugh a bit at that.
'Uncle'
Such a young-looking uncle, but they couldn't think of any other name that Junior could use to call Kyle. 'Big Brother' wasn't appropriate either since Kyle was the foster father. Using his name would be weird, because Junior was also Kyle.
The only downside was she was now an 'Auntie' as well.
"If you're done, go and wash your plate," Kyle said gently, prodding him, "Dian will be coming soon to take you to school."
Junior looked at Kyle, his eyes pleading.
"Hmmm? What is it?" Kyle asked, noting the gaze and the question that was most likely on his lips.
"Can … can you send me today?" Junior asked in a rush.
Kyle gave him a nod and Junior's face split into a huge grin. He quickly took his plate to go and wash it, while Sayuri watched him go.
"He was raised well," Sayuri said.
"Yes, he was," Kyle agreed.
"Sarah, on the other hand … that one is far more dangerous than she seems," Sayuri continued as she continued eating, "I would say she has an obsessive love, most likely due to some delusional disorder."
"Obsessive love?" Kyle asked, raising an eyebrow as he took his plate to the kitchen. While there, he monitored Junior who was washing his plate seriously, his face all scrunched up as he carefully sponged the plate thoroughly.
At the same time, Kyle started making Milo for Sayuri, noting that her cup was almost empty. Once Junor was done, Kyle patted his head in encouragement and Junior went to his room to get his backpack for school.
"It's just as what it says," Sayuri explained, "Being one of those obsessed - or rather, possessive type of person in love. You know, there's a LOT of those type of CEO novels that are domineering and obsessive, so jealous that they can't have the female lead even talk to a guy?"

Kyle nodded as he gave Sayuri the cup of Milo, sitting back down at the dining table.
"The problem with such obsessive love is that it can severely control the partner and destroy any form of a healthy relationship," Sayuri continued to explain, "With Sarah, the fact that you never got with her yet she has this idea that you're hers … says a lot of things about her."
"First, the obsessive love. You just being nice to her makes her feel you are in love with her. However, usually, such obsessive love stems from when a person is already in a relationship and they feel that when you say 'hi' to another person, you're flirting."
"Yet, you've never been in a relationship with her, and you had even told her that you never felt anything for her. So why does she still have this notion about you? Why hasn't she let go yet? It all points to the fact that her obsessive love stems from a delusional disorder."
"You mean, she is under the delusion that she is in love with me?" Kyle asked.
"No, that you are in love with her," Sayuri replied.
"Er, what? Run that by me again?" Kyle asked, perplexed.
"There are several types of delusional disorders," Sayuri explained, "Sarah shows the signs of the 'erotomanic' one. Such feelings and thoughts are normally towards someone who is famous … like you. How do you think stalkers come into play? They truly believe that those stars are in love with them, and they are in love with the stars."
"This is way too deep for me," Kyle muttered.
Sayuri patted his head with a smile, "There, there. I know such things are really out of your scope to handle. That's why I am here to explain things to you."

"No matter the reason, the bottom line is that she is unstable," Kyle said, "But yet, I can't touch her until she does something."
"Yes, you have your reputation as the CEO," Sayuri agreed, "I understand. I trust you."
Sayuri knew that Kyle would not be able to really do anything as yet, and he was most likely worried that she would misunderstand his lack of action. Although one could just kidnap Sarah and have her disappear, it was not Kyle's style.
He would not harm the innocent.
While Sarah may not be an 'innocent', she had not made any move yet.
This was one of those things that she loved about Kyle.
He was ruthless, but he wasn't blindly so. He always gave people a chance, but for those who stepped over his invisible line - well, their fate was not pretty. She knew that Kyle would protect her well, and if it wasn't for her being pregnant, she would be able to deal with whatever Sarah flung her way.
Dian came then, and Kyle told her that he was taking Junior to school that day. Nodding, Dian then went to the kitchen to clean up. She would be going out later to buy groceries for lunch and dinner, so she took stock of what was needed.
Junior was basically jumping up and down in excitement, for Kyle was taking him to school.
"Come on, Champ," Kyle said with a smile. Once outside, though, that smile disappeared and the normal cold, stoic expression came on. Junior was used to this already. He thought that the door was like a portal.
Only inside the apartment was Kyle warm and nice. Once outside, it was as if he stepped through this magical portal that made him like this. It wasn't as if Kyle was not nice to him outside, but he didn't smile.
People were scared of him, too. Junior found that funny, and fun. Kyle once explained to him it was because he needed to be strict and firm in his line of job.
As they got into the car, Kyle asked him a question he had been pondering for a long time.
"Junior," Kyle called out to him.
"Yes, Uncle?"
"What do you think about changing your name?" Kyle asked, "You don't have to if you don't want to, and I really don't mind you having my name, but I was worried about you."
"Me?" Junior asked, perplexed.
"You see, people with the name 'Junior' means that you are the son of the name you carry," Kyle explained slowly, "At that time, your mother truly believed I was your father and your name was thus set. But now that you know the truth, how do you feel about it? Your name, I mean."
Junior thought hard about it but he couldn't think of an answer.
Kyle rubbed his head, "Don't worry. You don't have to decide now. I just wanted you to know that you can if you wanted to, and to think about it. If you don't, it's also fine."
Junior nodded, understanding Kyle's intentions.
In truth, he was torn because he did want to change it and yet, at the same time, he did not. Did that make sense?
"Remember, your name is yours," Kyle said, "You have every right to decide."Even if you want to change it in the future, there is nothing to stop you."
"Okay, Uncle," Junior replied obediently.
