Chapter 15: Paternity Test

  • Listening to Jessa's garrulous remarks, her heart was aching. The word "cheating" is the last thing she wants to face now. But... she couldn't help asking.
  • "How do you know that?" Trixie was curious.
  • "How do I know? He bought a house for the little fox, and the little bitch didn't know who he was and ran home to make trouble with me!" Jessa said, very disdain, "She's young? So what? I followed him for so many years, can I still have no means? I grabbed the evidence of their affair and found a lawyer to sue... him! Guess what? He broke off with the little fox himself and transferred the house to my name..."
  • She did not listen to the last things she said.
  • Although Daryl's asset accounts for so many years are clear to her, including a part of her shares in the company, it does not rule out the possibility that he secretly bought a house.
  • The thought of that made her twist her brows. Thousands of speculations upset her. Perhaps, she should have a good look, as Jessa said.
  • Back home, she sat on the sofa for a while, and then couldn't help cleaning the house. She and Daryl are not often at home, and Kinsley is not a naughty child. The living room, master bedroom and second bedroom are cleaned quickly.
  • But while cleaning the study, she accidentally saw an open envelope at his desk. Curiosity drove her to pull out the documents inside.
  • When she glanced at the word "paternity test" above, she took a step back in fear.  The document also fell from her hand to the ground.  How can there be a file bag of paternity test results here?
  • She reacted and hurriedly picked up a few sheets of paper on the ground. Before she could see the name of the appraiser clearly, there was a sudden sound of rapid footsteps outside the door.
  • Then, the door of the study opened and Daryl appeared breathlessly outside the door. When he saw her holding the paternity test document, his face changed obviously.
  • But he soon calmed down, as if he's relieved.
  • "You scared me to death, I thought this thing was lost."  He naturally took the sheets of paper from her hand and put them in the envelope.
  • "Whose paternity test is this?"  She didn't know how she asked the question. Her brain was blank and even made her feel suffocated.
  • "This is for a friend who asked me to help him check. He suspects that his wife is having an affair and worries that the child is not his own."
  • He carefully sealed the envelope and turned to leave. She suddenly reached out and grabbed him. "Which friend?"
  • "In business, you have never seen him." He answered smoothly.
  • "I want to have a look..." She insisted.
  • He was impatient. "This is somebody else's private matter. What's so good?"
  • After saying it, he took the envelope out of the door. She stood where she was. She looked at the direction of the door and suddenly collapsed.
  • Daryl's attitude made her sure that he was really hiding something from her. It took a long time for her to calm herself down.
  • She can't go too far. She still has a daughter. As Mrs. Brown said, there are some things that need to be steady. Inadvertently, she caught a glimpse of the miniature camera beside the hanging picture in the living room.
  • An idea sprouted quietly in her heart.
  • The company recently had a one-week business trip, which she didn't want to go to, but now it seems that it is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity.
  • She wants to know if he can't bear it if she is not at home for a long time...
