Chapter 534

No matter how cute the kid was, this was just out of line!

Everett shot her a sharp glance.

Kate clammed up, too scared to say another word.

"This is my son."

Kate was floored.

Wait, this adorable kid was actually Mr. and Mrs.'s child?

Everett gently tousled little Mateo's hair, but the boy dodged with a scowl, his big eyes darting to the door.

He could tell exactly what the boy was thinking.

Everett didn't stop him. He settled into an armchair, casually watching him, a smirk playing on his lips. "If you think you can make a run for it, go ahead. I won't stop you."

"But once you step out that door, whatever happens-whether you get nabbed or eaten by wild animals-I won't be responsible."

Little Mateo's nose twitched, and his face went pale.

Kate quickly covered the kid's ears, reassuring him, "He's just trying to scare you, little man. Don't worry."

Suddenly, Mateo blurted out, "You're not my dad! You made Mom sad, so you're the bad guy!"
