Marrying A Secret Zillionaire: Happy Ever After Novel

Chapter 716: "The hot water's on the left," he said kindly.

Zander gave a quiet response. "I'm not that silly."

He washed his hands carefully, then added naturally, "I need to dry my hands."

The boy's calm and confident tone caught Dustin's interest. He set Zander down and handed him some tissues, then joked, "You sound like a little commander." Zander carefully wiped his hands. "Don't worry, sir. I'll remember to thank you."

He looked up and said, word by word, "Thank you, sir!"

Dustin chuckled. "You're quite something. Wearing sunglasses in the restroom, huh?"

Zander snorted softly. "No need to be jealous. If you like them, you can buy your own."

Dustin laughed, warmth flickering in his eyes. "You're really interesting, I must say. Where are your parents? Are they outside? Should I take you out?"

Zander tilted his head, then said seriously, "Sir, are you just trying to ask about my sunglasses brand? You don't need to beat around the bush. Mommy always says to speak clearly. If we don't, people might not understand."

Dustin blinked, caught off guard by the boy's quick wit.

Before Dustin could respond, Zander took off his sunglasses and turned them over to check the brand.

But Dustin's gaze was no longer on the glasses.

He froze the moment Zander lifted his face.

His eyes widened in disbelief. Zander looked exactly like Collin.

For a split second, Dustin wondered if he was dreaming. His heartbeat quickened, and a faint ringing filled his ears. He couldn't even hear what Zander was saying anymore.

Zander finished reading the brand out loud, then noticed Dustin standing there, lost in a daze, his lips pursed.

He remembered what Caylee had said-he had only five minutes. If he didn't leave soon, she would come after him, and that would be truly embarrassing.

Without another word, Zander turned and walked out.

Only then did Dustin snap back to reality, standing stunned as his thoughts raced. That face-there was no mistake. Zander had to be related to Collin.

Dustin couldn't stop wondering when Collin had a child-and why he had kept it a secret.

The moment Zander began to disappear from view, Dustin's heart skipped a beat. Without thinking, he dashed after him. "Hey, kid! Hold on a second!"

Outside, Dustin saw Zander walking toward a woman. She spoke to him briefly, then gently took his hand and led him away.

The woman looked plain, but her bright eyes and warm smile stood out. Dustin guessed she was Zander's mother.

He followed quickly, pulling out his phone, ready to snap a photo of Zander. The boy looked just like Collin.
