I smiled at the boy. "Just grown-up things, Liam," I replied evasively. "Things you don't need to worry about."
However, to my surprise, Liam persisted. "Is it about Kylo? They say at school — They say Gamma Rhett doesn't want you two together."
Oh, Gosh. Even the kids knew now.
My blood turned to ice. "Erm — never mind that, Liam. Gamma Rhett has no choice." I shrugged.
I was expecting Liam to let it go but the little boy asked me yet another question. "Is Kylo not your mate, Megami?"
My blood ran cold. Liam's innocent question about Kylo being my mate was just too much. I couldn't help but be chilled with the realization of how much the children knew.
Of how much everyone knew.
Perhaps, I could ask Liam who told him such.
But before I could delve deeper, Liam looked away, picking up his toothbrush and starting to brush with a seriousness that wasn't there before.
Kids.
