Evelyn and Ethan’s wedding preparations were going on smoothly. Now there was a big difference in the house's atmosphere. Their family was not as harmonious as it was the day before. Nobody was as enthusiastic as they were yesterday.
They all are thinking about only one thing, the result of the paternity test.
It was a waste of time to think about a result that can’t do anything other than make people irritated and tensed.
Even though everybody was waiting for the paternity test result and was not sure about the marriage, they held all their inner turmoil for the time being and were engrossed in the marriage's preparations.
Ethan and Evelyn came down together after getting ready to go for the parental test.
“Sky, can you please ask the servant to get that child down, me and Evelyn are going for the parental test. I want the result fast.” Ethan said.
The child’s name was Kevin, but Ethan was still calling him ‘tha
Ethan had insulted Skylar and had touched Steve’s taboo. Now nobody could save him except Skylar.As Steve stood up, clenching his fist to punch Ethan and make him realize his mistake, Skylar came in front of him, holding his hand.“Let it go, Steve, duck is still goofed and insensible. You get hold of your anger.”Steve couldn’t ignore any of Sky’s requests. He released and clenched his fist a few times with a breath in and out and sat back in his chair.“Ethan, since the day before yesterday I am neglecting your nonsense but now I will not tolerate a single word against Sky. If you dare to utter anything more slandering Sky, you will get a slap from me.” Even though Steve let Ethan go without even slapping him, he didn’t forget to scold him sternly. Steve’s glare was murderous, which shivered Ethan’s.Ethan couldn’t dare to retort Steve, but it’s about his love, Evelyn. He had th
Evelyn’s blind trust for Ethan had been shattered; she felt like her heart also had scattered. Even though she had tried before, but she wasn’t able to think if they will find Ethan at fault after the paternity test report, then whether she would have the heart to forgive him and move on or not.She walked in a daze with Skylar and didn’t get in the car, and stopped Skylar, too. “Sister, I want to be alone for some time. You please go home, I will be back later in a few hours.” Evelyn said in a blank tone.From the moment they had received the report till now, Skylar hadn’t said a word, but now she can’t let her sister drown in the ocean of grief for nothing.“No, Eve, you are coming home with me,” Skylar said sternly and beckoned Evelyn to get in. Evelyn gasped. She didn’t have the courage to face anybody from Edward’s family, let alone Ethan. She had an imagination that she was walking in the Edwards family, everybody’s mocking glare was on
Ethan was anxious because it was over three hours since Evelyn and Skylar have gone to collect the paternity test report, but haven’t come back. What was more irritating was that they both had switched off their mobile phones. Ethan even tried to contact their driver to know about their whereabouts and well-being but got to know that Skylar had sent him back home and she had taken the car by herself. ‘Sky, where did you take my Evelyn? And what was in the report?’ Even though he was quite sure about the report, he still didn’t want to believe anything until he will see the report from his own eyes. His wait was getting longer and longer. He couldn’t take it anymore and walked towards Steve’s study. “Steve, I asked you to let me go and collect the report personally, but you sent Evelyn and also your wife along with her. Do you know they both have not come back yet?” Ethan yelled at Steve at the top of his lungs.
Ethan couldn’t blink his eyes as soon as he saw Evelyn at the doorstep.He was back from his deep thoughts, listening to Evelyn’s words. His eyes widened at first, then gradually a calm smile appeared on his face when he came to know the sweet reality that Evelyn was talking in favor of Kevin. So it means that he was forgiven?Even Skylar felt sweet when she saw Evelyn back so soon.Evelyn’s sudden arrival was not a matter of surprise, it surprised everybody when she not only spoke to support Kevin, in fact she called him her son.Skylar had a proud smile, and everybody was feeling good except Matthew.“That boy might have the DNA of Ethan, but he can’t be an heir of the Edwards family.” Matthew retorted irritatingly and his voice was like an ear torture for everybody.Everybody had disdain for Matthew’s thoughts, even Muskaan didn’t like it when Matthew spoke like this.
Evelyn didn’t forgive Ethan; then what was that when she fought with Matthew for him and the child?Evelyn’s words were like a bomb for Ethan. If she didn’t forgive him, then how could she agree to let Kevin be recognized as her son, and even she didn’t refute when he spoke about their wedding. What is going into her head?“Eve, honey, when you consider Kevin as your son I thought you have already forgiven me. What was that, then?” Ethan asked hurriedly.His calmed heart once again started beating fast. Evelyn is a stubborn woman if she will refuse to get married to him then it will be hard to pursue her to change her decision. He can do anything, but he can’t live without Evelyn.“Yes, I accepted Kevin as my son, but that doesn’t mean I have forgiven you for your reckless acts in the past,” Evelyn said in a stern tone.She is upset with Ethan because her trust in hi
Kevin refused to call Evelyn his mother. She felt bad, as she already considered herself as Kevin’s mother. Her little heart has been broken, but she composed herself.“No, Kevin, as I am your dad, Evelyn is your mom.” Ethan politely coaxed the little child, but he nodded his head vigorously.“No you are dad, mom at home, she is Evelyn.” Kevin’s again said innocently and fast while pointing fingers.Evelyn gulped her choked saliva and calmed her uneasy heart. Kevin is just a two-year-old child who was raised by his mother; he was living with his mother till now then obviously; he knows Xenia as his mother. How would he suddenly accept any random woman as his mother? Evelyn didn’t get disheartened she believed that with the passing of time Kevin will recognize her as his mom.Ethan was again trying to correct him but Evelyn held his hand and nodded her head in no. “It’s ok Ethan,
“Oh, come on Eve, don’t be a spoilsport. Most of the women fight to their husbands to go around the world for a honeymoon or world tour, but what kind of wife you are that you don’t have the charm to go for a honeymoon even after one month of our marriage?”Ethan complains to Evelyn strolling behind her.Evelyn fetches the new set of bedrolls and started changing it when Ethan stood in front of her with a grumpy face.“I am a unique breed, isn’t it?” Evelyn answered carelessly and resume her work.After done with bedding Evelyn walked in the closet to get change, but Ethan followed her. He circled his arm around her waist and kissed her neck from behind. “Of course, you are unique, only one in this world, my Eve. That’s why I love you so much.” Ethan mumbles in her ears in a husky voice.A shiver ran down Evelyn’s back. She was shy and knew what is he up to; st
Honeymoon?Ethan wanted to go on the honeymoon. Since last evening he was trying to pursue Evelyn and she was showing no interest. He even tricked her by calling her unromantic. She even took the bait, and it resulted in much more ecstatic than he could imagine.Now when the night session is over and Evelyn proved herself, Ethan has the same demand as it was last evening.He wanted to spend a few weeks alone with Evelyn, where they both can get quality time with each other without family and work pressure. Just the two of them.‘Oh, so it turned out that he had done everything to mock me and make me agree to go on honeymoon.’ Evelyn thought and shook her head.‘Hmm, it seems my husband is the youngest kid in the family when it’s come to his demands. He has such a childish behavior all the time nagging for only one thing, as it’s his favorite candy.’ Evelyn mumbles to herself being irritated
