Paloma’s eyes widened in shock. "What?" "She's pregnant, but she doesn’t want the baby." "No way. That's not happening!" Paloma blurted out, nearly losing her balance. "Honey, come on, we need to head over to the Lopez's right now! That baby Karen's carrying is our family's flesh and blood; we can't let anything happen!" Huxley, too, nodded in rare agreement, although his face was ashen. "Let's go. Sooner or later, we've got to deal with her family over this." But Jeffrey grabbed his mother's arm. "Mom, Everett's keeping an eye on Karen for me. She won't be going to the hospital just yet. We need to wait for Paige's test results.” He couldn't bear the thought, but what if they really had the wrong baby? What if there was another child, his and Paige's? Even though the possibility was slim, Jeffrey was scared.

He wanted to have definitive proof before confronting Karen.

"You're right, son, you're right! | got all worked up for nothing!" After Paige provided her sample, she came out of the testing room and looked at Jeffrey, walking over. "I never lied to you.

You're the only one for me! But | admit... that night two years ago at the bar, it was me who asked Arthur to get you drunk, then book you a room and hand me the key card.” Paige had the hope of carrying Jeffrey's child, deliberately choosing a day she was most fertile to seek him out.

She knew she could never have him, but her love was beyond control, so she wanted a keepsake.

"So, I'm positive that the child is yours." Jeffrey remembered that night vaguely. It was indeed Arthur who had called him out for a drink.

He wasn't close to Arthur, just an occasional drinking buddy, but at that time, Jeffrey was living it up, and if he hadn't joined Arthur, it would have been someone else's party he'd be attending anyway. It was just drinks, after all, so he went.

And then Arthur had set him up with a woman, quite a stunner, telling him she was his for the taking, and he happily obliged.

There were gaps in his memory, but he faintly remembered that once in the hotel room, the woman insisted on keeping the lights off. Thinking she was just shy, Jeffrey let it be. But then...

The next morning, he woke up to find Paige beside him! Jeffrey had panicked and bolted without a word, then quickly joined Everett on a business trip abroad, desperate to avoid any entanglement.

"Are you sure the man you slept with was me?" "Who else could it be? To prevent any mix-ups, | only had Arthur spike your drink, while he drank iced juice disguised as liquor.

So he wasn't drunk and couldn't have given me the wrong key card!" Jeffrey felt a chill down his spine.

At that moment, he understood Karen's concerns.

In such a place, with hearts so unpredictable, if all his ex-girlfriends plot like this, would he not be swamped with children? "Now you see, this child is definitely yours." "Let's just wait for the DNA results.” Jeffrey was confused now, not wanting to sort through this mess.

"How could you, a young woman, do something like this? What were your parents teaching you?" Paloma was livid to hear her son had been manipulated.

But unlike her outrage, Huxley was calm, his focus solely on his son.

"Jeffrey, you remember what | told you before, don't you?" "Yes, | remember." "Now look at the mess you're in; it's all your own doing! You used to talk back, saying that living it up was what life's about. And now, you're just a pawn in someone else's game, aren't you?"
