Mission: From Divorcee to Millionaire novel Chapter 821

"You know, your mom can only have one man, and that man is me!" said Everett, playfully but with a hint of seriousness, as he scooped up his son and marched towards the kids' room.

Once inside, he found Haley sprawled across the bed, lost in a deep sleep. Her little feet had kicked off the covers, and she lay there with an air of confidence, her dress bunched up around her tummy, showing her soft, round belly.

Everett gently placed Mateo next to her, unable to resist the charm of his daughter's cuteness. Haley looked more like her mom, although her spunky personality was all him. On the other hand, Mateo was his mini-me in looks but took after his mom in temperament, especially in the way he knew just how to push Everett’s buttons.

Tucking both kids snugly under the covers, Everett planted a loving kiss on each of their foreheads before turning to leave.

But Mateo grabbed his finger, prompting Everett to turn back around. Before Mateo could say a word, Everett warned, "If you mention your mom finding another man again, I might have to reconsider our father-son bond."

Mateo quickly sat up, clutching his dad with a worried look. "Dad, Mom's not feeling well."

Everett paused, a crease forming between his brows. "What's the matter? Does she have a cold or a fever?"

She had looked so vibrant earlier, not at all like someone who was sick.

Mateo shook his head. "I'm not sure, but I saw her taking a lot of medicine secretly every day."

"People usually take medicine when they're sick."

Medicine?? Why would she need medicine if she seemed perfectly fine?

"Alright, I get it. Now be a good boy and go to sleep."

Everett tucked Mateo back into bed, adding, "And remember, don't tell your mom I was here tonight, okay?"
