Sonnet showed him a photograph of a report on her phone. The figure 99.9999% was shown on the report.“What…What is this?” He asked her curiously. “Are you still pretending not to know anything?” Sonnet sneered. “Pretending…not to know anything?” Hayden felt even more confused. Sonnet showed him the first page and pointed at the words. “Can you see it clearly now? It’s a paternity test report!” “Whose paternity test report?” “Of course, it’s you and your children’s test report!” “My children and I? Since when did I have children?” Sonnet’s face darkened. “Hayden Gunn, I’ve already shown you the paternity report. Are you still trying to deny the truth?” “What do you want me to admit?! I don’t know what you’re talking about! What children are you referring to? Which child is it?” Hayden had a stupefied expression on his face. “Jaybie!” Sonnet shouted out. She had really overestimated Hayden’s personality. He was still acting clueless! Hayden was stunned. He
Hayden was shocked. He almost lost his balance and fell off his seat!“No way! We can’t do that!” If Maxwell found out that Sonnet wanted him to get her pregnant, he would truly skin him alive! They would probably have to cut ties! After hearing Hayden’s rejection, Sonnet said icily, “Why can’t you do it? You don’t need to do anything. I just need you to donate some… semen.” “No, we can’t do that! How can I have a child with you?” Hayden asked frantically. “We already have two children! So what if we have one more child?” Sonnet asked in a hardened voice. “Mr. Gunn, don’t underestimate a mother’s determination to save her own child. If you insist on refusing to help me, I’ll bring this up to your family members!” Hayden started panicking. “That’s not the issue here. I’m not Jaybie’s biological father! It’s useless even if I donate my semen to you!” Sonnet smacked her phone heavily and asked him, “Does that mean that you think that this paternity test report is wrong?”
Firstly, all of them only went to the washroom briefly. How could any of them have slept with Sonnet in such a short time? Besides, there were security guards in the club. If they had entered the wrong room, one of the security guards would have reminded them.No, it was unlikely that one of them had entered the wrong room. What in the world had happened that night? Hayden was clueless as well. “Since you insist on denying what happened, there’s only one thing we can do now. You must do another paternity test with Jaybie.” The firm tone of Sonnet’s voice brought Hayden back to reality. He nodded and said, “It seems like that’s the only way.” He had to prove his innocence first! “Alright, follow me back to Harbor City tomorrow. We’ll do a paternity test at once. I’ll retrieve the genetic samples that will be tested in front of you. You can decide on the paternity test center. That way, you don’t need to worry about there being errors in the results!” Sonnet said col
Carter was quiet for a moment before he replied, "He went to a reliable center for a paternity test.""A paternity test?! With whom?""I tried to find out, but I didn't get any details. All I figured out is that he asked a nurse to pay him a home visit to take that blood sample today."Maxwell was stunned. All of a sudden, he remembered seeing a nurse walking out of the door with a medical case before he saw Hayden and Sonnet emerging from the room.He had not paid that any attention at the time, but now that he connected the dots with Hayden and Sonnet's movements, he was suddenly struck speechless. Could Jaybie and Lune be Hayden's biological children?Was Hayden the man Sonnet has been looking for all this time?!That would explain everything. Why else would Sonnet approach Hayden so uncharacteristically? It was probably because she realized that Hayden was the children's biological father!Maxwell felt as though a fire blazed in his chest. It burned and hurt.He could n
The other men gasped in unison and turned to look at Maxwell as one.Maxwell's expression was stormy, on the verge of a violent explosion.Logan could feel Maxwell's body gradually building up more strength. He secretly held him back with more force, but Logan was not sure if he could stop Maxwell later.The room was so silent they could hear a pin drop!"Why did she ask you for another child?" Maxwell said coldly after a long, long time. "Because she wants to save Jaybie! He needs the umbilical cord stem cells of a full biological sibling. It would increase his chances of getting a match."Hayden added, "But I swear, I'm not Jaybie's biological father! I did a second test to figure out where Sonnet's test went wrong.""But how? How did you and Sonnet…?" Marcus was relieved at first, but then he asked again anxiously. Hayden's gaze swept across the other men. "You're all as suspect as I am!""Why do you say so?" Logan was not involved in any of this, so he crossed his arms,
Maxwell looked at Logan, who continued, "I first met Sonnet when she asked about Lil Lux Club. She confused the place with mine. I even helped her with her investigations for a while.""So you knew all along?" Howard asked in surprise. Logan nodded. "Yeah, that's why I say it's a series of coincidences. I knew the truth, but I was the only one who didn't go that night. You never told me about it, either, so I had no idea you were involved in this."He then turned to Maxwell. "Maxwell knows about the story too, but he forgot that he was ever there. You three remember going there, but you didn't know her side of the story.""So what do we do now?" Howard asked, scratching his head. "I don't remember having a one-night stand with anyone. I'm still an innocent virgin here!"Marcus hurriedly added, "Yeah, same here." As soon as he said that, he suddenly remembered that he recently had his first time with the woman he loved.He recalled his wonderful time with Lindy, and his mind imme
Marcus' eyes lit up at Hayden's words. "If those children are really Maxwell's, wouldn't it be happy endings all around? But—"He turned his head to look at Hayden, who was driving. "As far as I know, paternity tests are rarely wrong. Even if you do it again, chances are high that it'd be the same result.""The tests are rarely wrong, but the samples could be wrong," Hayden said immediately. "I suspect she took the wrong sample.""If the test comes back negative, then maybe she took the wrong sample. But her test came back positive! So whose sample did she take to get that positive result?""Uh—" Hayden was stumped. Yeah, who was the father if not him? Sonnet Tom the wrong sample and somehow found the children's father by accident?Something clicked in his mind, and he yelled, "I remember now! Maxwell was there when Sonnet took the sample! She probably took a sample from him instead!""Sonnet's a smart lady, though. How did she end up taking the wrong sample? This is really impor
Hayden wailed over the phone. "Maxwell, even if the results are out, they won't tell me at six in the morning! Don't worry, I'll tell you as soon as they tell me!"On the fourth day, just as Maxwell arrived at the company, he received a call from Hayden, who sounded excited. "Maxwell, I told you! Those kids can't possibly be mine!"Maxwell's heart skipped a beat. "The results are out?""Yeah. Jaybie and I aren't related at all!""But why did Sonnet say your test came back positive?""I've been thinking about that lately. If I'm not the one, I think you stand the highest chance of being the real father! Sonnet probably took the sample from that night when we had dinner with her together, remember?"Hayden sounded rather excited. "She told me the sample she took was the fruit pick that had poked me in the mouth! I remember you used a pick, too. Do you think she could have gotten them mixed up?"Maxwell's heart gave a huge jolt at that. That night, he had poked himself in the mou
