Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 510

Everett raised an eyebrow.

Where did this little munchkin come from?

He settled into the sofa across from the kid, leaning back lazily, loosening his tie, and gave the child a once-over with casual curiosity.

The kid looked about three or four, with tiny hands and feet and a face that was all chubby cheeks and innocence. Those big, bright eyes were like shiny black grapes. Unexpectedly, Everett felt his heart skip a beat.

Those eyes reminded him, if only for a moment, of a woman named Selena.

Surprisingly, the little one was as cool as a cucumber, showing no signs of being shy, even daring to meet his gaze. Everett couldn't decide if the child was just too young to know fear or if he was simply bold for his age.

Over the years, Everett's demeanor had grown more reserved; he rarely smiled, and his presence carried an air of cold danger. Even the Bennett family's kids would shiver at the mere mention of his name, and the adults respected him but also tread lightly, avoiding direct eye contact.
