Chapter 184 The Gardner Family Acknowledged Their Grandson
When Hayden called out for his mom, the entire Gardner Family turned their attention to Nicole.
Nicole was uneasy being the center of attention, but she remained calm and gave a casual smile.
Hayden is in Benjamin’s arms, she thought. I can’t possibly take him away just like that. Hence, she merely stood
there in silence.
At the same time, Benjamin was curiously looking at her. He took a few more glances at her before saying, “You’re
the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel, Lisa. I’ve heard about you. I’ve also heard about the plagiarism issue which
happened a few days ago. Well, with your boldness, you’re qualified to be the daughter-in-law of the Gardner
Family.”

Hearing that, Nicole couldn’t say a word of what she wanted to say—the words she had been deliberating on for the
entire afternoon. She wasn’t expecting Benjamin to be so forthright.
Colton, too, was surprised that his astute father would accept Nicole so quickly.
Just when Nicole was about to say something, Anna immediately said with a smile, “That’s right. I misunderstood
Nicole on the plagiarism issue. Since everything is clear now, I should apologize to her.”
Immediately after finishing her words, she stood up and gave Colton a look of reproach.
“You’re really good at keeping secrets. Hayden is already four years old; why are you not bringing him back to the
Gardner Family?”
Colton was rendered speechless. He thought the same thing too—that Hayden was his son, as Hayden looked
exactly as him—until he did the DNA test.
“Mom, can you calm down?” After a moment of hesitation, Colton opened his mouth.
Anna seemed to be overly excited.
Wendy, who was standing beside, pouted her mouth and said, “Colton, you didn’t even tell me that you’ve a son.
That’s not right of you. Hayden is just too cute.”
She absolutely loved Hayden, who looked just like a mini Colton.
Not to mention that this child was such a sweet-talker, pleasing everyone with his words.
“He’s not my son,” Colton explained nonchalantly.
Wendy glared at him right after his words. “Colton, you cannot be a scumbag who dumps women like it’s a game!”
Benjamin’s expression also turned grim after he heard what Colton said. He immediately stared at Colton with
sharp eyes.
“How did I educate you all this while? The child is so big now and you still refuse to acknowledge him?”
Anna immediately calmed him down by saying, “Perhaps they have their own thoughts on this matter. We should
give them some time to talk things over since they have been apart for so long.”
Looking at the situation, Nicole sensed that something was wrong, and hence, she immediately explained, “Mrs.
and Mr. Gardner, Hayden is indeed not Colton’s son. There’s nothing between Colton and me.”
Colton was indeed a good catch, but he was way out of Nicole’s league.

having a kind smile, she said, “I understand, Nicole. No worries.”
“Mrs. Gardner, I’m not kidding. Hayden is really not Colton’s child. I didn’t even know Colton five years ago,” Nicole
said anxiously. I’ve already said so, and the Gardner Family can’t possibly acknowledge this child as their grandson
as they like, she thought.
Wendy couldn’t stand all the fuss any longer. Thus, she took a photo album from the table and handed it over to
Nicole.
Pointing at one of the photos, she said, “Nicole, look. This is Colton when he was a child. And look at Hayden. Don’t
they look the same?”
Nicole looked at where Wendy was pointing at, and to her surprise, Hayden was indeed a spitting image of Colton
when he was a child.
Could this be a coincidence? Nicole doubted.
However, Colton had one DNA test done previously, and another after Joseph’s matter, and both results indicated
that Colton and Hayden were not father and son.
