"I can't hear what he is saying.""Layla, come sleep with me tonight," Ivy said. "Maybe we've misunderstood Dad.""But that baby...""He doesn't really look that much like Dad. Why don't we go have another look now?" Ivy said."Okay! Let's have another look."The two headed down the stairs.Meanwhile, in the master bedroom, Avery had calmed down after listening to what Elliot had had to say."A vasectomy can fail," she said."The doctor said that I wouldn't be able to impregnate anyone if the surgery was a success," Elliot said confidently. "Why don't we go to a hospital to check if the surgery failed?"Avery glanced at the clock and noticed that it was almost nine."We haven't taken any contraceptive measures over the years, and you didn't get pregnant, did you? What makes you think that I can impregnate another woman?" Elliot's tone grew more and more confident.He shifted Layla's pillow away and climbed into bed.Avery stared at him as his words echoed in her mind. For a

Hayden set the glass down and expressed that he wanted to see the baby, so Layla told the servant to carry the baby outside.The baby was in a deep sleep as an infant his age would spend most of his time sleeping or eating.The servant presented the baby to Hayden and said, "Hayden, don't be mad at your dad just yet. The baby is still too tiny for his features to have developed, so one simply can't tell who he resembles!" The servant was worried that Hayden would see a resemblance between the baby and Elliot as well.After caring for the baby the whole day, the servant realized that he did look like Elliot, but she dared not mention it.Hayden glanced at the baby, and his first impression of the baby was that he was tiny and hideous-looking.The child could possibly just be hideous, or it could be because his features had yet to develop.Layla spotted the disgust on Hayden's face and explained, "The baby has really big eyes. They are just closed right now.""What? Are you in lov

"I realized that I'm still young, so I don't have to rush into marriage," Hayden said."Why would you think that you are still young, Hayden? Just look at you. Your skin isn't as smooth as before, and you are aging. A human body's aging process speeds up once they are past twenty-five years old, so your body is just going to deteriorate more as the years go by.""Don't try to make me anxious about my age. If I'm growing old, so are you. We are the same age.""Damn, you are so stubborn." Layla turned to look at Avery. "Mom, help me out.""Hayden, do you think that all the girls we introduce you to are beneath you?" Avery asked.Hayden instantly fell silent."Hahaha! So that's what you really think, Hayden!" Layla burst out laughing."Mom, that's not what I think. I'm busy, and, even if I marry someone, I won't be able to spend time with her. I might as well wait until my business stabilizes...""Didn't it stabilize a long time ago?" Avery asked, confused. "You've been working fo

Elliot could hear every word they said, and, after a good night's sleep the night before, an idea had popped into his head.He strode into the dining room and said, "If you are saying that the baby looks like me, could it be that he really belongs to our family?"Avery instantly narrowed her eyes."Dad, what is wrong with you?!" Layla's heart raced."Don't get upset just yet! I can't tell how the baby looks like me, but if you two agree on it, then it has to be true. People can't just send babies here without a reason, so... There's a high chance that the baby belongs to us! But!" Elliot paused and said, "He is not mine."Hayden, Avery, and Layla fell into silence."Hayden and Robert both look like me... Could it be that the baby's father is one of them?" Elliot was impressed by his own sharp mind.He knew his actions so he was certain that the baby was not his. However, if the baby belonged to his family, then the father could only be Robert or Hayden.Hayden, Avery, and Layla

"If the baby is Robert's, it's not that big a deal." Elliot rubbed his nose to conceal the joy on his face. "It's good that we are great parents."Avery blushed at the thought of having grandchildren and being a grandmother.She felt conflicted as she had always thought of herself as being quite young whenever she looked in the mirror.Though she did wish that Hayden would get married, she had never imagined being a grandmother at her age."Don't blame Robert when he comes home." Elliot was overjoyed and did not see this turn of events as a negative one."Are you that desperate to be a grandfather?" Avery glared at him.Elliot blushed and said, "Don't you want to have grandkids? Will you hate the baby if you find out that he really is Robert's child?"Avery fell silent as she had never thought of Robert being a father.From her perspective, Robert was still a child himself, but she could not argue that she would love the baby if he was Robert's child.Layla tried calling Rober

"Could it be that you aren't a virgin?" Layla asked. "You've been to so many parties where you drink. You can't really hold your liquor, so could one of your female friends have taken advantage of you when you were drunk?""Ah! Stop it, Layla! I'm getting chills! We are all decent people so you are overthinking! That's illegal, and none of them would dare to do such a thing!""You are too naive, or, to put it simply, you are a little slow. You don't know how evil people can be because our parents have protected you well. It's a complicated world out there, and a university is a miniature planet of its own."Feeling devastated, Robert said, "I'm begging you to stop, Layla. I will get a paternity test done, all right?""Don't be too pessimistic. Our parents are quite happy about it. Even if the baby is yours, our parents will raise him so don't worry," Layla said gently.Robert felt extremely depressed as he was not worried if his parents would be upset with him; what troubled him w

Before the truth could be confirmed, Hayden knew that he needed to investigate the hotel where Layla had her wedding.He called the diver over, and as the car drove off, Elliot and Avery turned to look at one another in confusion."Hayden has just come home and hasn't even gotten to rest, so where is he going?" Elliot asked curiously."I don't know. It looks like there's something on his mind," Avery said."I can tell. He stopped talking altogether when I said that the baby could be his or Robert's," Elliot said suspiciously."Do you think Hayden is the father?" Avery asked. "Do you think that's possible?""Why wouldn't it be possible? You even suspected me when I practically spend every single day with you. How often does Hayden come home? Why won't you suspect him instead?" Elliot was still upset that his entire family had suspected him. Though Avery had allowed him to stay in the master bedroom the night before, the mental damage he suffered remained."What do you expect m

"Um... the staff member here in the customer service department all look rather ordinary. We don't have anyone who looks exceptionally hideous or beautiful," the manager muttered. "Mr. Tate, all other information on employees who have left the company has been deleted as we have a high turnover rate. Why don't I try asking around to see if there is someone who remembers who entered your room that night.""Do it now," Hayden said sternly.His tone alerted the manager.Everyone knew that Hayden’s company was based in Bridgedale, yet he had traveled all the way here to ask the manager about something that had happened ten months ago, so the manager instantly concluded that the staff Hayden was looking for must have done something wrong.The manager asked the question on the hotel employee chatgroup and showed Hayden the screen of his phone. "Mr. Tate, I've asked everyone."Hayden glanced at it and asked, "Is it possible to go through the surveillance footage from ten months ago?""T
