Chapter 7
He was gentle yet not so gentle.
Zayn sat beside her, analyzing with a detached air, “You were taken away by your mother for a year. Did that man come to see you during that time? No, right? He thinks you’re dirty and doesn’t even want to acknowledge you. Even if you are his daughter, he wouldn’t tell the truth.”
A few boys who entered burst into laughter upon hearing his words. One of them yelled, “Boss, you don’t want Laura to leave, do you? You’re so happy since she came back. You didn’t even eat when she was gone!”
Zayn’s expression changed, and he grabbed the storybook, hurling it at them. “Get lost!”
Laura held her brush listlessly, looking at the figure on the greeting card. Her happiness had diminished even further.
“Would that happen? Even if the paternity test proves me right, would my father still not acknowledge me?” she thought.
Antonio stared at the paternity test results with a dark expression.
The test showed a 99.9991% likelihood of a paternal relationship.
Laura was his biological daughter.
The three sons had varying degrees of irritation upon seeing the report.
Jasper’s reaction was the strongest. “I don’t agree! Even if she’s truly related to us, I still won’t agree. She has no right to be part of our family! We can’t accept her. With her mother’s rotten genes, who knows if she’ll end up harming our mom in the future?”
The other two brothers remained silent, looking at Antonio in silence.
Their expressions conveyed their sentiments. They also didn’t want to acknowledge Laura.
They would cherish her if she was the daughter of their mother.
But Laura wasn’t.
Her birth wasn’t welcomed by their family.
She was Lilian’s daughter.
Antonio pondered for a moment before discarding the paper into the bin.
For the past seven days, he had been incredibly busy. But whenever he had a moment to spare, he couldn’t help but wonder. What if Laura really was his daughter?
Would he raise her or not?
