My CEO Daddy by ELAINE MALLIN

Jay's interesting statements amused Ken.

"What about your father?"

he probed further. He couldn't imagine what it would be like for Kerr to be a stepfather, knowing he was the successor of the Gu Group. But the scene he witnessed today made his heart skip a beat, surprisingly in a funny way.

With the way they interacted earlier, he deduced that Kerr seemed not to care about the fact that Nicole had a child.

"I don't have a father. Not everyone will have a healthy family. My mother told me to respect others' privacy, so it's very impolite to ask me this way,"

Jay sternly replied, scrutinizing Ken. The boy didn't show any respect to him at all.

Deep down, he genuinely wanted his father back. He longed to know him, but he didn't want to put his mother in a tough situation, so he never said a word about it.

"Well, I apologize. I'm sorry. What are you looking at?"

Ken apologetically uttered as he stared at the serious look on Jay's face, feeling a little embarrassed. He thought that this child was surprisingly troublesome. He was too sharp to fool.

Feeling defeated, he had resorted to changing the topic.

"For Uncle Gu's sake, I forgive you. Here's the school he arranged for me,"

Jay replied in a friendly fashion as he raised his small hand and patted Ken on the shoulder. Then he eagerly showed him a piece of document. He seemed very generous today as if he didn't want to make a fuss about the trifles with Ken.

Jay had checked the information about this school. He beamed with satisfaction. And all the more, he was interested when he learned from Jared that Kerr himself graduated from this school.

"Really? Did he ask you to go to his school?"
