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

Chapter 211

When Rhett came home, Kristin had already prepared dinner.

She was wearing an apron, her hair tied back in a simple ponytail.

Placing the food on the table, Kristin smiled at Rhett as he walked in with Summer in his arms. “Wash up, it’s time to eat.”

Rhett paused for a moment, then set Summer down.

Kristin was right there, embodying his every fantasy of home.

Due to the indifference in his parents‘ marriage, Rhett had always been resistant to the idea of settling down and starting a family.

But now… he felt a warmth inside him.

Like he had been flying solo for ages and had finally found his way back to the nest.

“Mom,” Summer said, his little hands washed and neatly placed on his lap at the dinner table. “Milo didn’t go to school today.”

Kristin was surprised, her gaze shifting to Rhett. “Milo wasn’t at school?”

Rhett nodded, not looking to pry. Maybe Milo was sick?

Kristin didn’t press further. Considering Eve’s affection for her son, there wasn’t too much to worry about.

“I’ve made mushroom soup and ribs,” Kristin whispered, waiting for Rhett to bring up the company issues

on his own.

But Rhett remained silent.

Kristin felt distracted, a sense of restlessness in her heart.

“My mom caused a scene at the company, and the police took her away?” Kristin broached the subject tentatively.

“Yeah, Garner called the cops,” Rhett said, his survival instincts kicking in, given Madge’s sensitive status. After all, Madge was Kristin’s mother.

“Hopefully, she’ll learn her lesson this time,” Kristin murmured, aware she had caused Ri.

“Some people will do anything for money, for their own benefit, but between mother and daughter, even if there’s no twenty years of nurturing, is there no basic humanity left?” Rhett wasn’t berating Madge, just voicing his doubts.
