Chapter 38 Daniel Wants Jasmine Dead

"It's simple." Justin was confused; did he really need to be taught how to search for a company's address?

"Who's your dad?" Ethan found chatting with the kid quite amusing.

Liam, driving the car, was practically glued to the rearview mirror. Was this really the Mr. Douglas, playing with a kid?

"You're my dad." Justin seemed to have decided Ethan was his father.

In the world of a child, things were always simple and never complicated.

Ethan cracked a smile; he was truly intrigued. He never knew kids liked him; wasn't it Lisa's kid who cried on sight as if he were the boogeyman?

Indeed, this kid was more endearing. "How about I keep this, and I'll get you a new one?"

Justin thought for a moment, his naive head bobbing. "If you like it, I'll give it to you. No need to buy me a new one."

"Why's that?"

"I don't want Daddy to spend money." Justin knew earning money was hard. "Uncle works very hard to earn money, so Daddy must be tired too."

Ethan didn't correct Justin's address, making Liam somewhat uncomfortable and curious about Ethan's angle. "Kid, don't just call anyone dad. He's not your father. Your real dad's a mystery; nobody knows who he is."

Justin glanced at Liam and fell silent.
