Chapter 48 This Kid Is Mine

Joseph was very attentive to Nicole, so much so that he went out of his way to reserve a luxurious

private room at a hotel for her. After Nicole seated herself, he respectfully handed her the menu with

both hands and asked with a grin, “Please take a look, Miss Anderson. Is there anything you’d like to

eat?”

Despite having followed Joseph into the room, Nicole didn’t really want to have lunch with him here.

Looking up at his face, she said unhurriedly, “If you want to say something, just spill it. I’m not in the

mood to beat around the bush with you here.” She feigned a look of composure, but she unconsciously

tightened her grip on Hayden’s hand.

Hayden seemed to have sensed something. Holding his mother’s hand in response, he said forcefully

in a childlike voice, “Don’t be afraid, Mom. I’m here.” With his words, he labeled Joseph as a bad guy

right away.

The smile on Joseph’s face became even more apparent. Gazing at Nicole’s face with his dark eyes,

he contemplated what he was going to say before asking, “Miss Anderson, did we meet each other five

years ago?”

As soon as Joseph asked the question, Nicole answered resolutely, “No.” However, the faster she

denied that, the more it proved that she had a guilty conscience.

Looking at Nicole’s calm expression, Joseph continued with a smile, “Miss Anderson, why don’t you

think about it carefully? We met five years ago at the hotel.” His words weren’t explicit, and he had a

confident smile on his face.

Nicole’s heart skipped a beat as she looked at the man, and her eyes lowered with a flicker of mixed

emotions in them. Pursing her lips with a frown, she said firmly, “What do you mean by saying that, Mr.

Mann? My mother was critically ill five years ago, and I spent every single day caring for her by her

sickbed. After she passed away, I went abroad, so I had never been to a hotel.” She steadied herself,

thinking, I mustn’t let Joseph know that Hayden was born after I had a one-night stand with him five

years ago!

“In that case, why would you agree to have lunch with me when I mentioned what had happened five

years ago?” Joseph seized upon this; he didn’t believe there was nothing fishy about it.

Nicole had given herself away a little at the graveyard, but she was now able to think very clearly.

When she looked up to meet Joseph’s gaze, her eyes looked calm and imperturbable. Curling her lips

into a sneer, she stared fixedly at the man without averting her eyes. “I didn’t want to be seen having

physical contact with a man outside at the graveyard. You looked like you’d keep pestering me if I didn’t

agree to have lunch with you, so I followed you here to clear things up,” she said. Then, before Joseph

could say a word, she continued, “Just say what you want to say. I don’t have time to beat around the

bush with you.”

Joseph’s words died on his lips as he looked at the woman before him. He had at least trusted Queenie

before F&M Apparel’s annual dinner, but now, he could only doubt her. However, recalling how he had

offended Nicole thoroughly at F&M Apparel’s annual dinner, he decided to go ahead anyway. In any

case, there was no way Nicole would work with the Mann Family, but if Nicole’s son was really his, he

would be able to make her obey him.

“Someone told me that your son was born after we slept together five years ago. Although I doubted it,

the person talked as if she had evidence to back what she said. So, Miss Nicole, may I take the liberty

of asking you who your son’s father is?” he said quickly while fixing his eyes on Nicole, searching her

face for any possible clues.

Nicole’s heart jumped when she heard Joseph’s words. However, having worked in the business field

for years, she had gone through many ups and downs, so she kept her countenance in check without

giving herself away.
