Chapter 267 Impossible for a Mistake to Happen

Colton didn’t answer this question directly. Instead, he turned to look at his mother and asked, “Mom, is this

paternity test legit?”

Anna nodded and said in a serious tone, “It is. I asked Richard to do the test. His clinical skills can still be trusted.”

Colton fell silent at that. He knew too well about Richard’s skills as a doctor. Richard was known as a Teen Genius

who had acquired a lot of medical knowledge at a young age. He couldn’t have done anything to make a simple

paternity test wrong.

If Hayden was Colton’s son, the one he had physical intimacy with five years ago was definitely Nicole. Could it be

that it was Nicole and not Queenie who saved me five years ago?!

It was just a fleeting thought that, oddly enough, suddenly brought Colton a glimmer of joy when he thought about

it.

“Since you have publicly announced this, Mom, I am sure the public will be keeping a close eye. I need to find out

the truth from Nicole.”

Anna couldn’t help but feel satisfied with how Colton was planning to handle this. She thought that every man on

earth should at least have a similar sense of responsibility.

Colton paused briefly before he continued, “Mom, no matter if Hayden is my son or not, we should respect Nicole’s

opinion on this matter. You shouldn’t reveal her identity without her consent.”

Anna stopped to think after listening to her son’s words. It was only then that she realized she indeed had been

inconsiderate about this matter. Even if Colton agreed to it, she should still hear from Nicole whether she was

comfortable with the arrangement.

With a nod, she said, “Okay. We will see how it goes after you talk to Nicole. I acted a little too impatient this time.”

Benjamin soon noticed the guilty look on Anna’s face, and he started to comfort her, “Don’t worry about my father.

The old man might be stubborn, but he is not someone who cares about social standings, or else he wouldn’t have

given his permission to Sal before.”

As soon as he brought up Sal, Anna whipped her head around to look at Colton. She was relieved to see that he

seemed unperturbed despite hearing the name.

Discreetly, she poked Benjamin, who only then realized he had mentioned something he shouldn’t have. He

changed the subject without missing a beat.

“It is the banquet for Wendy’s 18th birthday today. Let’s stop thinking about all these terrible things for now and

spend the day happily. Don’t think about anything else.”

Colton’s expression remained neutral as he nodded and hummed a reply.

…

Nicole had driven all the way to where Julia was at.

As soon as Julia opened the door, she was greeted by the sight of Nicole hurrying toward her. A glammed-up Nicole

still had her evening gown on, even though it was partially covered by the jacket over her shoulders.

Julia could tell at a glance that Nicole must have come over straight from the Gardner Residence.

“What happened? Why are you so flustered?” Julia asked while opening the door for her.

“Let’s talk inside.” Nicole didn’t waste time on pleasantries as she wiggled her way into the place.

As Julia closed the door, she saw Nicole take off her shoes and crawl up to the soda.

“Come on, tell me.” She passed her friend a glass of water. “What is it that has got you so nervous?”

Nicole only told her everything that happened at the banquet after she took a sip of the water.

It was Julia’s turn to be surprised. As she listened to Nicole’s story, her eyes widened in shock as a look of disbelief

appeared on her face, and her outstretched finger shook uncontrollably.

“You mean Hayden is Colton’s son?!” the woman shrieked.

Nicole looked at a surprised Julia and after taking a deep breath, she gazed at her solemnly while she asked,

“Richard was the one who produced the paternity test result. You know him better than I do. What are your

thoughts about his skills as a doctor?”

Julia pressed her lips together for a moment before she answered truthfully, “Nicole, Richard is a better doctor than

I am. It is not hard to do a paternity test, so it is impossible for a mistake to happen. Furthermore, this is the

Gardner Family we are talking about. Richard wouldn’t allow anything to go wrong.”

Nicole had roughly lined all the dots together upon hearing Julia’s words. If the strands of hair used to do the

paternity test were genuinely Hayden and Colton’s, the two of them might be father and son after all.
