Masked In Nobility: Secrets Of Mrs. Chavez by Selina Gorges

Chapter 479

Jeremiah hid the smile in his eyes as he lifted his gaze to Rodney "Alright, don't worry. You know, there are a lot of people who like Yvette, and I..."

Jeremiah trailed off, his words leaving an open-ended hint. His comment, though vague, was enough to stir Rodney's protective instincts. He slapped his chest with a dramatic flourish, as though ready to face anything that came their way. He said, "Don't worry, Mr. Chavez. You're my friend. If any of those guys start bothering Yvette, just let me know. I'll take care of them. I'll make it clean and simple, and no one will ever know."

After saying this, Rodney waved his hand for Jeremiah to lean down. He whispered fiercely into his ear, "Don't worry, Mr. Chavez. I'm an expert at making people disappear."

Jeremiah nodded, his gaze softening for a moment as he looked at Rodney, his gratitude clear. "I really appreciate it." Rodney kicked his legs, beaming proudly. "It's no trouble at all, Mr. Chavez. Don't hesitate to call me, okay?"

In the living room, at the dinner table, Emmett, Charles, Samantha, and Eagle King watched as Rodney chatted and laughed with Jeremiah.

Samantha rested her chin on her hand, looking a bit puzzled. She glanced at the others and said, "What's going on here? How did Jeremiah and Rodney go from barely knowing each other to this close in just one night?"

It wasn't just Samantha; even Emmett, Eagle King, and Charles were completely baffled. Just yesterday, these two were at each other's throats, and now, they were acting like father and son. This was so strange.

The four of them barely touched their breakfast, too caught up in staring at Jeremiah and Rodney. Jeremiah handed Rodney a croissant, then carefully spread some strawberry jam on it before passing it to him.

Rodney took it with a smile, looking at Jeremiah with a charming grin. "Thank you so much, Jeremiah," he said, then picked up a piece of fried egg and placed it on Jeremiah's plate.

Emmett's fork clattered to the table, looking surprised. He thought, 'Jeremiah and Rodney actually looked like father and son. Why? Wasn't it just yesterday these two were practically at war with each other? What the heck happened?'

The four of them were left speculating, their curiosity eating them alive. They thought, 'What kind of trick had Jeremiah pulled on Rodney? Why did he address him differently? Yesterday, it was "Mr. Chavez" and now it's "Jeremiah". What happened exactly?" Eagle King couldn't hold back his curiosity any longer. He stared at Jeremiah and Rodney, asking bluntly, "So, can someone please explain what's going on here?"

Under the curious gaze of the four, Rodney sat up straight like an adult. He put down his fork and, in the most innocent voice, said, "There's really nothing strange about it.
