The Officer's Runaway Wife and Secret Son novel Chapter 475

After saying her piece, Clara didn’t spare Margot another glance. She turned and walked in the direction Rhys and Felix had gone.

Her palm was still tingling. That slap felt as if it had shattered the nightmare that had haunted her for years, dispersing the last dregs of resentment in her heart.

Margot had tried to drag everyone down with her in a self-destructive spiral, but in the end, she hadn’t laid a hand on Felix.

At the claw machine, Felix had been laughing with such pure joy.

All Margot had given him were a few game tokens and the stuffed rabbit.

That flicker of humanity, not yet extinguished, only made her seem all the more pathetic.

In the toy section.

Rhys and Felix, one tall and one small, stood before a display of realistic toy guns. Next to them was a young man in a jacket.

The young man was in the middle of saying something to Rhys.

Rhys had been listening intently to his apprentice’s report, but when he caught sight of Clara approaching, the hardness in his eyes melted away instantly.

Before Clara even came to a stop, he freed one hand and naturally wrapped it around her waist.

The young man’s voice died in his throat. His eyes darted back and forth between Rhys’s hand on Clara’s waist and their faces.

What was going on?!

He was already shocked enough when the little guy called his boss “Daddy.” Now, his boss was openly embracing a stunningly beautiful woman in public.

His ex-wife?

No way. Who acts this intimate with an ex-wife? You’d get slapped for that.

His current girlfriend?

Then… was the kid who called him Daddy actually his?

The apprentice swallowed hard and ventured, “Boss…?”

“What are you waiting for?” Rhys tilted his chin toward Clara. “Show some respect. This is Clara.”

The apprentice blinked, then snapped to attention, straightening his back. “Ma’am! It’s a pleasure to meet you!”
