Chapter 192

“Yo, buddy, how on earth did you find us?” Concerned that Kristin would be distressed by a child’s tears, Rhett got out of bed and opened the door.

The little guy didn’t even acknowledge Rhett, sliding past him and bursting into the room to leap into Kristin’s arms. “Mommy, I hacked into the hotel’s system.”

…What?” Kristin gasped, taken aback. “You just hacked into the hotel’s system like it’s nothing?”

“I distracted the lady at the front desk,” Liam said nonchalantly, clearly adept at such mischief.

“Little genius…” Kristin murmured, cuddling him. “Did you leave your family on your own? Do your dad and uncles know about this?”

Liam snorted. “Dad’s a meanie.”

Kristin glanced nervously at Rhett – it seemed the boy had run off on his own again.

Rhett wasn’t pleased; this little rascal was getting too attached to Kristin, wasn’t he?

“I’ll give his dad a call,” Rhett said, reaching for his phone to call Hanson.

“No, don’t!” Liam clung to Rhett, his eyes brimming with tears. “Someone left me at his doorstep, and he took me in, but I know he’s not my real dad.”

Rhett felt his head spinning, looking down at the little figure clinging to his leg.

That expression, that gesture, it was strikingly similar to when Summer first saw him at the FitzGerald estate, hugging his leg, begging him to protect Kristin.

“Are you sure you’ve only had one?” Rhett asked Kristin, his skepticism evident.

Kristin was flustered by the question.

She had been terrified when she found out she was pregnant, too scared to go out, let alone get a check–up.

That year, after the scandal of the real and fake heiress blew over, Kristin had returned to the Collins household, where Garner and his mother took care of her.

Kristin only remembered being frail, though her belly was unusually large, and yet Summer had been born a mere six pounds. But Kristin couldn’t believe in such coincidences. It wasn’t possible.

Garner had been at the hospital during the birth. Garner wouldn’t lie to her.

“Just Summer,” Kristin replied with certainty.
