Marrying A Secret Zillionaire Happy Ever After

Chapter 847:

Dolores stiffened in shock.

In an instant, all the sweetness in her heart disappeared. Panic seized her. She knew if Dustin saw Zander’s face, everything would fall apart.

Without thinking, she clung tightly to Dustin, hiding her face against him. At the same time, she shot Caylee and Zander a desperate look, mouthing silently, “Go! Leave now!”

Caylee quickly caught on. Her playful grin vanished as she grabbed Zander, ready to sneak away.

But before she could, Zander suddenly shouted, “That bad guy is bullying Dolores!”

Without warning, he charged straight toward them.

Both Caylee and Dolores widened their eyes in horror. Zander had completely misunderstood her silent plea—and now, things were about to spiral out of control.

“Dolores!” Zander shouted, his little face twisted in anger, wishing he could grow up in an instant and punch Dustin for what he thought was bullying Dolores.

Caylee hurried after him, calling anxiously, “Zander!”

Hearing the commotion, Dustin instinctively froze, his curiosity piqued. He began to turn around to see what was happening.

Startled, Dolores quickly pressed his head back down. “Don’t look! Just hold on to me, okay?”

Dustin blinked in confusion, then smiled shyly. “I just thought I heard something behind us.”

“There’s nothing back there. Just me, right in front of you,” Dolores said quickly, forcing a calm tone.

But Zander wasn’t giving up. Seeing that Dustin was still holding Dolores, his tiny face twisted even more in anger. “You jerk! Let go of Dolores!” he yelled.

This time, Dustin heard it loud and clear. He instinctively let go of Dolores and turned around.

Caylee sensed disaster looming. She rushed forward, scooping Zander into her arms and quickly turning her back to shield his face from Dustin.

“You naughty boy!” she scolded loudly, pretending to be angry. Then, leaning close to Zander’s ear, she whispered urgently, “Don’t let him see your face! It’ll cause big trouble for Mommy! Pretend we don’t know Dolores, okay?”

Dolores’ heart dropped. She gripped Dustin’s arm tightly, feeling his body tense beside her. His brows furrowed, and she could tell he was suspicious.noveldrama

“What’s wrong?” she asked, trying to steer his attention back to her.

But Dustin was already stepping forward, his sharp gaze falling on the child in Caylee’s arms. He asked cautiously, “Ma’am, was it your child shouting just now?”

Caylee felt a cold sweat break out on her back. Earlier, she and Zander had thought Dustin was Dolores’ boyfriend.

Caylee hadn’t realized it was Dustin—Collin’s best friend.

And she was very aware that Dustin had already seen Zander’s face before. If he put two and two together now, Collin would find out everything.
