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

Chapter 213

“You’ve got the wrong house, buddy,” Summer explained patiently to Liam, rummaging through the kitchen to find something to offer the hungry visitor. “These are my mom’s homemade cookies. They’re super good.”

Liam wolfed down the cookies as if he hadn’t eaten in days.

“Easy there,” Summer said, handing him a glass of chocolate milk.

Liam’s cheeks bulged with cookies as he looked at Summer. “My mom, she’s my mom.”

“But,” Summer’s heart raced with panic. Was this kid trying to claim his mom? “She’s my mom.”

For the first time, Summer felt what it was like to deal with a bully. Why had he even opened the door?

Liam insisted, “She’s my mom.”

“No, she’s not.” Summer denied.

By the time Kristin emerged from the bathroom, her face flushed and cautious, she could hear the wails of the two children from down the hall.

“Summer, what’s wrong?” Kristin rushed forward, nearly tripping over her own feet, but Rhett was right there to catch her, pulling her into his arms.

Rhett frowned as he listened to the crying. He had a bad feeling about this.

Sure enough, when he reached the living room, he recognized the kid from the Lewis family.

“Liam?” Kristin was shocked, her gaze flitting between Liam, Rhett, and Summer. The kids‘ crying even sounded alike.

At the sight of Kristin, Liam dashed over. “Mommy! I love you!”

“Where’s your dad?” Rhett quickly grabbed Liam’s head, not letting him get too close to his wife.

Couldn’t the Lewis family keep track of their own kid?

“I want my mommy!” Liam’s cries grew louder, tugging at Rhett’s heartstrings, so he let go. Was he being too harsh on the kid?

“Shh, it’s okay,” Kristin soothed, pulling Liam into a hug. “Liam, how did you get here?”
