Chapter 380 Your Man's With Me

“Zev, look what kind of mess you've dragged me into," Caden grumbled like a bitter housewife, plopped right by the front door, and grumbled at him.

Kelly had to bite her lip to keep from laughing.

"Mommy!" Jasper called out. He and Shane had been staying at Caden's place for a while now, and honestly, Caden had become a decent father.

"What are you drawing, Jasper?" Zev walked over, noticing his son covered in paint, completely absorbed in his masterpiece.

Jasper flashed a toothy grin, bright and innocent like a puppy. "Drawing Daddy!" The picture? It was a wild scribble of what looked like six people in one big family. "This is Daddy," Jasper pointed at the stick figure on the far left. "And Mommy" The one with braids.

"Jasper,” he said, pointing at the two tiny kids in the middle, "and Shane."

Zev squinted at the rightmost pair. "And these two holding hands?"

"Dada Charles and Dada Caden."

Caden couldn't help but laugh. "So we're all one big family now, huh?"

Shane, meanwhile, was deeply focused on a picture book, already showing signs of being a straight-A student type.

"I bet Shane's going to be a little genius when he grows up," Kelly said warmly.

"What about Jasper?" Zev ruffled his son's hair with a playful frown.

"Well..." Kelly took a dramatic breath and looked up, as if praying for the right words. "Maybe... like you. A little thug?"

"What? Why does he have to be a thug?" Zev was unwilling to accept that.

Kelly chuckled. "Alright, back to business. Clarissa's trying to protect herself, but I don't think she's going down without a fight.”

"She's trying to marry me, wants to blow things up, and tie herself to my family," Caden said, lounging on the couch like a smug cat. "She wants us, especially my brother, to help Shawn. Obviously, Shawn wants to oust his old man and take control."
