When the Boss’ Lady Became His Sister-in-law

Chapter 151

Kristin hastily clamped her hand over Summer’s mouth, whispering an apology. “Mr. FitzGerald… I’m sorry, he’s just a child…”

Summer was just too eager for a complete family.

“Yes.” Rhett’s response was resolute.

That answer stunned James.

His anger grew and he glared at Rhett. “Mr. FitzGerald, you’re lying even to a kid.”

“There’s no need to explain myself to you.” Rhett opened the car door, gesturing for Kristin to get in with Summer in her arms.

Kristin, too, was taken aback by Rhett’s affirmation.

He said yes… Don’t overthink it. They were technically a married couple already.

So Rhett wasn’t lying. He was indeed legally wed to her.

Summer burned his gaze into Rhett, his eyes brimming with emotion. “Daddy, are you gonna marry Mommy, right? Are you gonna protect her?”

“Yep.” Rhett nodded, ruffling Summer’s hair.

Clutching Kristin, Summer’s voice broke with sobs. “Mommy, Rhett said he’s gonna marry

you…”

Kristin went numb with shock as she comfortingly patted Summer and settled into the car, closing the door behind them.

The adult world is complicated indeed. Some things aren’t as simple as children think.

Being married doesn’t necessarily mean a family…

“Rhett, what game are you playing? You don’t love Kristin. What are you competing with me for?” James‘ voice was low and agitated.

“Who says I don’t love her?” Shutting the car door, Rhett calmly faced James. “I’ve known Kristin for a while. Although we’ve only recently started to get to know each other, she deserves to be cherished, not shunned like you’re doing, unwilling to take responsibility.”

James clenched his teeth.

“Rhett, we’re both men here, no need to play these games with me.” James massaged his forehead. “Your crises aren’t even sorted out yet, and here you are meddling in my business. Do you think Kristin’s safe with you and you can protect Summer?”

“Let’s wait and see.” Rhett was firm.

“Rhett, if anything happens to Summer while he’s with you, I’ll take him away the first chance!

If the Haywood family’s reputation suffers, the Bryce family will inevitably be implicated. If I were you, I’d know how to mitigate risks and personal losses.
