Chapter 234 Did He Know Averi Was His Son
Noah was with a child?
Jordyn narrowed her eyes, studying Noah and the boy across from him.
She recognized Noah, the prominent CEO of Wall Group, but the child seemed familiar too.
Acting on a hunch, Jordyn discreetly pulled out her phone, aimed it at Noah and Averi, and snapped a photo.
Once she captured the image, she swiftly opened WhatsApp, located Kyla’s contact, and sent the photo along with a
message. “Guess who I saw at KFC?”
After sending it, Jordyn anxiously watched her phone screen, her heart pounding.
Meanwhile, Noah was oblivious to the fact that he’d been photographed. He was focused on teaching Averi how to use ketchup properly.
“Squeeze it out like this. Be careful not to get it on your clothes,” he instructed.
“Got it,” Averi replied, concentrating as he mimicked Noah’s actions, carefully squeezing ketchup onto his fries.
Watching Averi’s focused demeanor, Noah felt an unexpected warmth wash over him.
Maybe bringing Averi to KFC was indeed a good idea.
Back in her apartment, Kyla stared intently at the photo on her phone.
The man in the picture was a side of Noah she had never seen before.
“Impossible…” she murmured, her fingers trembling as she zoomed in on Averi’s face, which grew clearer by the second.
A cold shiver ran down her spine.
“It’s him… that bastard…” Kyla’s voice was shaky, the words barely escaping her clenched teeth.
Could it be that Noah already knew? Did he know that Averi was his son? Was that why he continued to endure Sadie’s
presence, even taking the time to go to KFC with the boy?
In a sudden fury, Kyla sprang to her feet, spilling her coffee. The hot liquid splashed onto her leg, but she barely flinched.
“Sadie, you bitch!” Kyla growled, throwing her phone onto the sofa.
She began to pace, agitation mounting with each step.
“No, I can’t just sit here and do nothing!”
Kyla stopped abruptly.

Chapter 234 Did He Know Averi Was His Son
“Noah is mine–mine alone! No one will ever take him from me!”
Seizing her handbag, she stormed out of the door, driven by rage.
At KFC, when Noah and Averi were still enjoying their meal, a figure approached their table.
“Noah, what a coincidence—you’re here too,” Kyla said, her smile strained, her eyes fixed intently on Averi.
Noah’s brow furrowed slightly as he responded coolly, “Mm.”
Ignoring Noah’s reserved reaction, Kyla walked straight up to Averi, crouched down, and spoke in an overly sweet tone.
“Hey there, little one, what’s your name?”
Averi eyed her warily and moved closer to Noah without responding.
“Don’t be scared. I’m a friend of Noah,” Kyla continued, still smiling as she reached out to pat Averi’s head.
Averi ducked away from her hand, gripping Noah’s arm tightly, and stated in a small, firm voice, “I don’t like this lady.”
For a moment, Kyla’s smile froze, but she quickly recovered, masking her irritation. “Oh, you’re such a shy little one.”
She then pulled a neatly wrapped toy from her purse. “I brought you a gift. Do you like it?”
Averi glanced at the toy but shook his head and retreated behind Noah, his voice soft yet resolute. “My mom said not to
take things from strangers.”
Kyla’s expression darkened momentarily. She hadn’t anticipated such a direct rejection from Averi.
Attempting to maintain her composure, she insisted, “I’m not a stranger.”
“Anyway, I don’t know you!” Averi retorted loudly, his face flushing with emotion.
Noah, observing Averi’s defensive reaction, felt a surge of protectiveness.
He tousled Averi’s hair affectionately and addressed Kyla firmly. “We’ve got to go.”
With that, he took Averi’s hand and swiftly exited KFC.
Kyla stood frozen for a moment, watching their retreating backs, her forced smile dissolving into a look of sheer venom.
“Sadie, just you wait!” Kyla hissed through clenched teeth, her fist so tightly balled that her fingernails dug into her palm.
Noah, with Averi’s hand securely in his, walked out of KFC with deliberate, long strides.
Behind them, Kyla’s resentful gaze followed, igniting a flicker of annoyance within him.
“That lady is so scary,” Averi murmured in a small, frightened voice, gripping Noah’s hand more tightly.
As Noah looked down at the child, his expression softened.
He offered a reassuring smile and said gently, “Don’t worry, I’m here.”
