Chapter 87 Prepared
After leaving the Gardner Residence in the evening, Nicole rushed to Colton’s place.
While Anna and Wendy stayed at the old Gardner Residence, Colton had his own mansion.
The DNA paternity test between Hayden and Joseph was scheduled for tomorrow, so Nicole had to make all the
necessary preparations tonight.
By the time she arrived at Colton’s residence, it was already past 8 in the evening. She had been to the place
before, so she was rather familiar with the layout.
After parking her car, she walked through the yard and directly entered the house via the main entrance.
The light from the enormous chandelier in the mansion was blinding as it radiated on Colton seated on the couch
with a laptop. His slender, bony fingers were typing swiftly on the keyboard as it made a crisp, clattering sound.
Seeing Nicole’s arrival, Colton kept his laptop away and asked Annie to serve coffee. Only then did he turn to greet,
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇt“Hi, Miss Anderson, just tell me what you need me to do tomorrow.”
Nicole nodded and answered, “It’s nothing much, actually. President Gardner, you have taken a DNA paternity test
with my son and are aware that there’s no blood relation between the two of you, but I won’t dare to make a bet
for Joseph’s case, so I’m hoping you can help to change the hair sample during the test.”
Colton nodded with a half-smile and had no objection. “Sure.”
Although the act of switching the specimen sounded despicable, he decided to break the rules for once since it was
Nicole who had requested it.
Perceiving Colton’s response as his consent, Nicole smiled subtly and expressed her gratitude. “Thanks a lot for
your help, President Gardner.”
“No worries. I still need to trouble you for my sister’s matter, though,” he replied with a smile.
Both of them had some small talk before she left Colton’s place on the pretext that it was getting late.
Zachary was nowhere to be seen when Nicole arrived home. Meanwhile, Hayden was sitting on the couch and
shaking his legs while elaborating, “Mr. Yates went out in a hurry after answering a call. He told me that he might
not be coming back tonight and asked me not to worry.”
Nicole nodded in comprehension as she reckoned the incident which happened abroad the last time was not
completely settled yet. She lowered her head to gaze at Hayden since she had yet to inform him about the DNA
paternity test tomorrow.
Feeling that her throat was dry, she had no idea how to bring this topic up to the child.
Nevertheless, Hayden was a sharp boy and he could guess that something was going on by his mother’s hesitant
look.
Staring fixedly at Nicole with his clear, bright eyes, he asked with a pout, “Mom, is there something you want to tell
me?”
As Hayden hit the bullseye, Nicole rubbed her nose awkwardly and looked at her son with a sense of guilt.
“Shall we go out tomorrow?” she asked softly.
Although he was young, he was very sensible. Observing her unnatural expression as he stared at her, he could
more or less feel something was off.
“Just spill it, Mom. It’s not like I won’t agree to it,” Hayden said with a smile.
“Let’s go for a DNA paternity test tomorrow. What do you think?” Nicole babbled quickly.
Although Hayden was her own son, she didn’t know why she still felt guilty for bringing this up.
“A DNA paternity test?” Hayden asked in confusion as he continued staring fixedly at Nicole with his dark eyes.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmNicole bit the bullet and explained, “Yeah. With Joseph.”
The moment Hayden heard the other party was Joseph, he frowned at once and grumbled with a moue, “He’s not
my dad. I’m not going to take a DNA paternity test with him.”
Nicole knew that Hayden would give such a response. She looked at her son with a sigh before explaining, “That
guy took your hair and had already done a DNA paternity test. If you refuse to go this time, I’ll have no choice but
to send you to him.”
Hayden was dumbfounded upon hearing that. Refusing to believe it, he blurted, “That’s impossible! Even if he has
done a paternity test, he can’t possibly be my biological father!”
The truth was that he had already retrieved Joseph’s gene from the computer base and compared it with his own
specimen, and they were not father and son at all!
“However, the report from him claims that both of you are father and son. If you want to prove that his report is a
fake one, you have to personally go,” she explained calmly.
After lowering his head and pondering for a moment, Hayden thought there was something fishy, and it was only
then that he nodded in agreement.
