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

Chapter 159

Chapter 159

Milo was on the verge of tears, trembling as he looked up at Rhett. “Uncle Rhett…”

“Come here,” Rhett’s voice was a deep rumble.

Kristin held Summer tight, a nervous look in her eyes.

Rhett wasn’t about to eat the kid, was he?

Milo let out a wall and burst into tears.

“Apologize!” Rhett hoisted Milo up to Summer’s eye level.

Milo was cherubic, roly–poly like a piglet before he started preschool. Though he’d slimmed down a bit, he still had a certain cherubic charm.

“I’m sorry,” Milo stammered, sobbing and hiccupping, visibly scared of Rhett and all too keen to heed his words.

Summer huffed and hid further in Kristin’s embrace, clearly not ready to forgive.

Milo’s tears flowed even more freely.

“Keep apologizing until Summer forgives you,” Rhett insisted, holding Milo aloft with one arm, with no intention of letting his feet touch the ground.

Milo’s dungarees were bunched up in Rhett’s grip, making him look like a sack of potatoes, which was quite comical.

Kristin couldn’t help but chuckle softly. “Mr. FitzGerald, he’s just a kid. Don’t scare him too much.”

Milo nodded vigorously. “Uncle Rhett, I’m still just a kid…”

“Children need to learn from their mistakes or they’ll never grow up,” Rhett said sternly, giving Milo a little shake. “Apologize!”

Even if Eve showed up, Rhett was determined to teach Milo a lesson today.

“Summer, I know I was wrong,” Milo whined through his tears.

Summer turned to look at him, his heart softening slightly.

Milo’s nose was a bubbly mess.

But he’d been mean to Summer too many times, and Summer was hesitant to forgive.

“What did you do wrong?” Rhett prodded.

Milo was clueless, his nose still bubbling.

His mom was the one who labeled Summer’s mom as a thief and claimed Summer had no dad, which influenced Milo’s perception of Summer.
