Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire

Chapter 590

Alex was sipping on some lemon-infused water in the passenger seat when he nearly choked at the conversation, coughing non-stop.

Little Mateo, ever the caring one, piped up, "Alex, you gotta sip water slowly like mom says, or you'll end up choking."

He reached out with his tiny hand to pat Alex's hair, offering comfort. Alex felt so touched he was nearly teary-eyed.

Meanwhile, the ever-composed Everett shot back with a cheeky grin, "It's your mom who needs to step up her game; she could use more sleep."

"But my mom's super strong! She can even run with me in her arms," Mateo said, clearly unconvinced.

Everett's lips curled into a knowing smirk, "You'll get it when you're older and married."

"Really?" Mateo's little face was a mix of skepticism and curiosity.

Alex sighed quietly, feeling sorry for the young master being so easily swayed. In the rearview mirror, Alex caught Everett looking utterly content, lounging lazily.

Muttering to himself, he thought: It's not that the missus is lacking stamina; it's Mr. Everett who's being a handful!
