The CEO's Hidden Love: Midnight Temptations and Deep Desires novel Chapter 390

He was bound to figure out what was wrong with his business in Everett's home!

Just as Everett was about to speak, Jeffrey, anxious to avoid a clash between father and son at their first meeting, quickly intervened, "Um... Everett, it's your first meeting. Of course, he's going to be a bit wary! Take him home and ask him step by step later! Let's go eat now. I'm starving, and he must be too!"

With that, Jeffrey gave Langston an intentional look.

Upon receiving the hint, Langston reluctantly nodded, "Yeah, I'm hungry."

"Alright." Everett, faced with this sudden son, felt somewhat helpless.

Luckily, Jeffrey was there to ease the awkwardness.

When they arrived at the restaurant, Everett ordered a table full of dishes, not knowing what the kid liked to eat.

Watching Langston eat in silence, Jeffrey leaned over to Everett and whispered, "I tell you, your son is a whiz kid!"

Everett cast him a glance, "I've noticed."

"Oh?"

"The software collapse at Lopez Corporation was probably his doing."

Only then did Jeffrey connect the dots, "I wouldn't have guessed if you hadn't mentioned it! Well, you have some good genes."

Everett shot him a look, "If you want a kid, go have your own."

"Tsk! My son might not be so smart!" Jeffrey chuckled, "Your son is too cute, like a little adult. You have no experience with kids, why not give him to me?"

Jeffrey wanted to take back his previous statement about disliking kids!

He loved kids! Loved them to pieces!

"No." Everett's refusal was simple and direct.

"Why not? You don't know how to take care of a kid and you're busy with work! But I have plenty of time to spare."

Everett softened his gaze as he looked at Langston carefully chewing his food. Their bond seemed to be suddenly connected.
