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

Chapter 203

In the upscale suite of a hotel, Milo was still busy blowing bubbles, happily splashing around in the bathtub with Summer.

“Daddy, your face looks kinda dark…” Summer whispered with innocent concern.

Standing at the edge of the tub, Rhett watched the two kids, feeling utterly out of his depth.

Kristin had gone back to the Collins estate, leaving him behind.

He was tasked with babysitting at the hotel.

Summer was manageable, but Milo seemed to be coming down with a cold, and the never–ending stream of snot was a form of torture for Mr. FitzGerald, who was a bit of a

clean freak.

“Summer, Milo, you’re not toddlers anymore. You need to start washing up on your own, okay?” Rhett said, trying to sound encouraging.

Summer nodded earnestly.

Milo counted his age on his fingers. “Uncle, I’m five, not a toddler.”

“Alright then, scrub up, and I’ll come to check on you in a bit,” Rhett instructed.

“Okay!” Milo nodded, beaming with pride at his newfound responsibility.

The hotel doorbell chimed.

Rhett, hoping for a rescue in the form of Kristin’s return, rushed to the door with a sense of relief. But it wasn’t Kristin on the other side–it was Eve.

“Rhett…” Eve looked anxious. “Sorry to bother you so late.”

“How did you find me?” Rhett frowned, puzzled.

He’d instructed the hotel to maintain the utmost secrecy, and this place wasn’t under the FitzGerald Group’s umbrella but owned by ByteSpark Technologies.

Eve shouldn’t have been able to track him down.

“I… used the GPS on Milo’s smartwatch,” Eve admitted quietly, noticing Rhett’s displeasure. “I swear I didn’t tell Mom or Dad.”

“Is something wrong? Are you here to take the kids?” Rhett was in no mood for a chat.
