The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 347

Only a few seconds passed before Everett began dialing Jeffrey's number.

After many rings, the call was finally answered.

The noise on Jeffrey's end was chaotic. It sounded like he was out drinking with friends; the clinking of glasses was evident in the background.

"Where are you?"

"Having a drink, man. A buddy from abroad just got back, so we're catching up."

Everett frowned. "The picture you sent me of that kid, did you photoshop it?"

Jeffrey was taken aback and raised his voice. "I don't have time for that kind of nonsense! Today, while I was working late at the office, this kid showed up at the Lopez Corporation. The security guards probably saw the resemblance between him and you and decided to bring him to me."

"Where's the kid then?"

"Right next to me! The kid doesn't know his mom's name. All he knows is that his dad looks a lot like him. I couldn't just leave him out on the street, could I?"

But Jeffrey had already made plans for the night, and, left with no choice, he had to bring the kid along.

“You brought a kid to a bar?!”

“What else was I supposed to do?” Jeffrey seemed to step out of the bar. The surrounding noise was significantly quieter. “He really does look a lot like you. I’m almost certain that you two are father and son. Otherwise, why would I go through all this trouble?”

He was a free spirit, so he wasn’t particularly fond of children.

“Don’t drink anymore, and take the kid to a hotel for the night. I'll be back tomorrow."

Although Everett was still unclear about the whole situation, he had to figure out why a child resembling him had appeared.

"Deal! I'll make sure to deliver him to you in one piece! After all, this might be your son!" Jeffrey chuckled. "Bro, you're something else. You had a son this big and didn’t even know about it. I'll have to interrogate you when you get back."
