Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 512

The phone on the coffee table abruptly rang. Everett glanced over, saw the caller ID, and, with a sigh, picked it up, pressing the answer button. Little Mateo, noticing this, swallowed the words he was about to say.

Everett looked at the little guy in front of him and smirked, "Babysitting."

The word seemed so out of place for him that Jaime almost wondered if he'd had too much to drink. But then he remembered he hadn't touched a drop today.

Everett tilted his head, suddenly wondering what their Mateo Haley might look like all grown up. Would he take after him or Selena, or maybe be a blend of both? At least... he wouldn't be outdone by the kid in front of him, that's for sure. "Found one," Everett replied casually.
