Chapter 203 Admit It

Anna was about to go out with this test report when Colton quickly stopped her. “Mom, can you please let me

handle this myself?”

He didn’t know what to say to his mother. It seemed like he would have to reveal that Hayden was Joseph’s son if he

had to start explaining the details.

If a family like the Manns were to know that Nicole’s son was also Joseph’s, they might just force a marriage on

Nicole. After all, she had great commercial value after she assumed the position as the Chief Designer of F&M

Apparel.

Hearing Colton’s words, Anna thoughtfully looked at him with her lips pursed tightly. She only spoke again after a

while in a light voice. “Colton, the most basic thing that a man should have is responsibility!”

He knew what she wanted to say, and even he hoped that the child was his own. However, the results that came

back from the two tests he had were proof enough that Hayden had nothing to do with him.

“It is a long story, Mom.”

“Make it short, then,” Anna insisted.

Left with no choice, Colton could only explain, “This paternity test belongs to Nicole’s son and his biological father,

which is not me. Nicole is doing this to keep it a secret.”

Anna continued to stare at him for a long time before she finally looked away.

“If you want me to trust you, let Hayden do another paternity test with you again someday. I will give up if the result

comes out negative!” Anna huffed.

As he looked at his mother’s stubbornness, Colton could only nod as it seemed that it was the only way. “Okay. We

will do that.”

After Anna got out of the car, Wendy immediately followed after her as she asked in a low voice, “Mom, do you

really believe what Colton said?”

Anna smiled at that, and she put away the paternity test result. “Colton might have his own reasons for not wanting

to accept the child as his own, but since Hayden is my grandson, he shouldn’t have to live a life like a stray.”

Wendy’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly asked her mother in the same hushed voice, “What is

your plan, Mom?”

“Since he doesn’t want to admit it—” Anna turned to look at Wendy. “—I shall do it for him. We will announce that

Hayden is one of ours at your birthday celebration!”

Wendy didn’t say no to the idea. She liked Hayden. Not only was the baby adorable, he was also a sweet talker for

his age. Wendy couldn’t even begin to describe how much she liked Hayden.

As for Nicole, Wendy didn’t mind her all that much. All she knew was that Nicole was a hundred times better than

Queenie!

“Alright! Someone has to watch a scumbag like Colton, after all!”

Just like that, the muttering women had finished discussing Colton’s future.

…

When afternoon came, Nicole invited both Whitney and Scarlett to lunch.

Scarlett had always been more introverted. The other two would always feel her reservation when the three of

them were together.

“There’s no need to hold yourself back.” Nicole smiled at her. “Whitney and I don’t put on airs. You can be at ease

with us.”

Scarlett’s neck looked stiff when she nodded, and she was fumbling around with her words when she squeaked, “I

am not… nervous, Miss Nicole.”

Seeing her rigid posture, Whitney couldn’t help laughing out loud as she reached out to hug Scarlett around her

shoulders. Her smile remained on her face when she told Scarlett, “Miss Nicole and I don’t eat people, so you don’t

have to be so nervous. Just treat us like friends and get along with us when you are with us.”

Scarlett visibly relaxed after the women reassured her.

As she nodded, she suddenly remembered something, and she lifted her head to look at Nicole. “Miss Nicole, Miss

Queenie came over not long after Mrs. and Miss Gardner left this morning,” she informed.

Even though she knew that Nicole and Queenie were sisters, she had to say those words carefully as she could

vaguely sense that the two had some conflict going on.

She came to a momentary pause before she continued, “Miss Queenie went into Director Schmidt’s office as soon

as she arrived, and she only left after around half an hour.”

Nicole wasn’t surprised at all to hear this. There was no way she wouldn’t know that Queenie had some trick up her

sleeves. After hearing Scarlett’s words, she was sure that Queenie was going to come at her with Joanna.

But Nicole had absolute confidence in Wendy’s gown. It seemed like things would not turn out as Queenie had

wished for!
