Chapter 13 The Impostor
Wesley gradually drooping his sullen eyes, and there was unfathomable light at the bottom of his eyes. "Well! Then the baby is the son of Patricia and Archibald?"
Miranda stepped forward with the crying baby in her arms, "Yeah. Wesley, look. The baby takes the look after Archibald and Lydia!"
Hearing that the baby was the son of Archibald, Wesley, who had been impatient, was cautious. Wesley took the crying baby from Miranda's arms, but his eyes were fixed on Lydia. "How do you make Archibald believe that it was you who had sex with him that night?"
Lydia squinted and cracked a smile, "Dad, don't worry. I have had an idea."
The next morning, Lydia appeared in front of the villa of Randolph Family with a delicate packaged bag.
Archibald was drinking coffee leisurely on the sofa. Seeing Lydia and Miranda, he frowned.
Whoa! The baby cry sounded continuously in the villa, which was deafening.
The young assistant beside bent to Archibald, "Mr Archibald, this is the daughter of Coleman Group. She said she comes to return the coat you've been looking for."
Hearing the assistant's words, Archibald was surprised and his hand holding the teacup was shaking a little. He raised his eyebrows and put the teacup aside.
Archibald looked into Lydia in front of him, and then he frowned unconsciously.
"I've been looking for the coat for ten months. Why do you come for me now?"
Lydia bit her lower lip tightly, as if Archibald's words were putting more pain on her wound.
"Because you are Archibald."
Archibald squinted like he was waiting for Lydia's explanation. Lydia cast a look at the baby in Miranda's arms, hinting at Archibald.
"Because you are Archibald, what happened between us that day was only a one-night stand. There is nothing between us."
Archibald followed her eyes and noticed the crying baby in Miranda's arms. He paused for a moment, as if he had guessed something.
Not seeing Archibald respond as she expected, Lydia had to continue her show.
"I was pregnant afterward, but I'm worried that you don't want him. When the baby was born, I realized that I should give the baby a complete home no matter you want him or not!" After Lydia finished, everyone present was transfixed.
Archibald stared at Lydia for a long time with his cold eyes, but he didn't see her show a trace of panic or evasion.
To Archibald's surprise, the feeling Lydia giving him was completely different from what he had felt that night ten months ago.
The woman popped up and said she was the one who had sex with him that night and she brought a baby with her, saying it was his son.
Ignoring Lydia in front him, Archibald took the baby.
He didn't know how to hold a baby. Strangely, however, the baby, who had been crying in Miranda's arms, was quiet in Archibald's arms. Archibald was kind of dazed. Staring at the little baby, Archibald felt that his cold heart seemed to be melted.
"Take the baby's blood to the hospital for a DNA test."
James nodded, then he took out alcohol and tools from the medical kit.
Archibald held the baby and sat on the sofa silently, but Lydia and Miranda beside were so nervous that they held their breaths.
James stepped forward. After he took the blood of Archibald, he paid his attention to the kid with the tools in his hands.
At the time when the needle in James's hand was about to be injected, the cold voice of Archibald sounded.
"If the kid cries, you can leave."
Upon hearing Archibald's words, James's hand holding the tools was trembling.
'Didn't Archibald put him in an embarrassing situation?! How can such a little baby not cry when being injected?! After all, the needle was so sharp!' James thought.
Although he felt worried, James couldn't say a word when he looked at Archibald's cold expression.
The needle was gradually injected into the baby's arm, and James's heart was pounding fiercely. James saw the baby's face puckered, as if he would cry the next second. James's heart jolted and even thought he would be over. To his surprise, the baby's face still puckered and the baby pursed his lips as if he was forcing himself not to cry.
When pulling out the needle from the baby, James took a load off his mind.
Throughout the process, the baby lying in Archibald's arms didn't cry at all. Although Archibald didn't say anything, he looked satisfied.
James left with two blood samples. Archibald was holding the baby all the time and he didn't pay any attention to Lydia or Miranda.
Lydia was not angry. On the contrary, she was happy to see that Archibald loved the baby. The more Archibald cared about the baby, the more likely she was to become his wife. Archibald's assistant was very efficient indeed.
James called Archibald after he left less than two hours.
"Mr Archibald, the paternity test shows that the chance of the father-and-son relation between you and the baby reaches 99.99%!"
Archibald hang up calmly. Then he held the baby and said seriously, "Joshua Randolph, this is your name."
Joshua blinked with his big eyes and there was full of pureness in his eyes.
Lydia, who had been ignored for a long time, could not help saying, "Joshua Randolph. It's really a good name."
She squatted beside the sofa and reached out to pinch the baby's cheek, and her face was covered with gentle smile.
"Honey, you have a name."
It was strange that Joshua, who had just been tough, burst into tears immediately after being touched by Lydia. The baby's crying sounded again in the hall.
Archibald squinted again, and then he placed Joshua next to him.
"Well, since the baby is my son, it's natural that he should stay with me. Now tell me your requirements."
Upon leaving Lydia, Joshua stopped crying immediately. There was chill in Joshua's big eyes, which was kind of like Archibald.
