Oops! My Secret Baby Is Caught By His Top-Lawyer Daddy! Novel

---- Aaron saw the notification pop up and smiled, finally reassured. He set down his phone and went back to his meal. Mr. Wilson raised his glass. "Mr. Devereaux, don't just sit there eating-cheers!" Aaron picked up his wineglass and clinked it politely. "Thank you, Mr. Wilson. Our firm will absolutely go the extra mile for your company over the next three years." Mr. Wilson burst out laughing. "You're too kind! Greystone's the top law firm for a reason. Working with you gives me peace of mind." He downed his wine and poured himself more.

"Now that we've wrapped up the business talk, I've got a personal favor to ask." He gestured toward the young woman sitting between them. "This is my daughter, Linsey. Just graduated from Princeton Law. She's been begging me for days to introduce her to you-wants to be your apprentice. Linsey, go toast Mr. Devereaux!" Linsey picked up her glass and turned toward Aaron with a flirtatious smile. "Hope I can learn a lot from you, Mr. Devereaux." She'd been crushing hard ever since she saw him at a ---- company function two years ago. But school had kept her busy-until now. Aaron glanced at her.

Red dress, one size too small. Cleavage like it was about to burst through. The skirt barely covered her thighs. She was all heavy-lidded stares and suggestive smiles. The table was massive, but somehow her stiletto kept brushing against his shin. Honestly, if Mr. Wilson hadn't introduced her as his daughter, Aaron would've sworn she was his mistress. He didn't raise his glass. Instead, he offered her a polite, detached smile. "Mr. Wilson, you're giving me too much credit. Our firm's full of top talent. I'm more of a paper-pusher these days. Ms. Wilson would be wasting her time with me." Mr.

Wilson laughed. "You're being too modest! You were the firm's star attorney three years running. People would kill just to fetch your coffee. Give the girl a shot!" Aaron smiled, but his words were firm. "Only because I know you well, I'll be honest-I've been busy taking care of my kid lately. Haven't taken on a new case in over six months. Ms. Wilson deserves better." Wyatt Wilson snorted like he'd heard the funniest joke ---- all day. "You? Playing Mr. Mom? Come on.

Everyone knows you're Greystone's most eligible bachelor!" Besides, his cousin Deborah-Aaron's stepmother-had told him recently that Maverick was considering Aaron as the next head of the family business. She even hinted that a marriage between Aaron and Linsey would be ideal. Not that Wyatt could say that out loud, especially since Deborah and Aaron were like oil and water. But his daughter was clearly smitten, and as a dad, how could he not try? Aaron could tell Wyatt didn't believe a word. He glanced down at his bare ring finger and sighed. Yeah... he was missing some hard evidence.

He gave a helpless chuckle. "Mr. Wilson, you've known me for years. When have you ever seen me bring a female assistant around? I'm just not used to it. How about this-let me recommend a colleague instead. Ella Fox. She's the top divorce attorney in the state. You won't find better." Wyatt paused, considering. Aaron really did have a clean rep-no scandals, no womanizing. If Wyatt could lock him in as a son-in-law, it'd be a dream. He exchanged a quick glance with Linsey, who subtly ---- shook her head. Wyatt pressed again. "Well then, no need to make it complicated. Just have someone from.

your firm mentor her. Linsey just graduated-it'd be good for her to learn and gain some experience. What do you think?" Aaron thought for a moment, then nodded. It was a long-standing client, after all, and they'd just signed a three-year contract. No reason to strain the relationship. "Sure. Ms. Wilson can drop by whenever she's ready. We'll be happy to have her." Linsey smiled sweetly. That worked for her. After all, she'd now be working in the same office. And when it came to love, proximity was power.
