Chapter 2924
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

Hayden felt like he was being put on trial and felt horrible."Mom, I will undergo a DNA test when I get home!" Hayden could not bring himself to accept reality until he saw solid results."Sure." Avery hung up and turned to look at her family."What did Hayden say?" Layla asked."He said he will take the DNA test. He didn't say much else," Avery said. "I think your brother was seeing someone.""Oh... that's a good thing, right? At least we now know that he is a normal man," Layla chuckled. "Oh! I'm an aunt now! That's great!""Mom, will you and Dad take care of the baby?" Robert asked. "The baby's mother was probably the one who delivered the baby, right? That means she doesn't want the baby."Avery glanced at Elliot, who had been holding the baby ever since the paternity test results showed that he was the grandfather."Your dad seems more than happy to take care of the baby," Avery teased. "It doesn't matter which one of you is the father, because neither of you can take car

"I was a victim as well, alright?" Avery sat down next to him and rubbed the baby's hand. "Your family was the one who forced me into carrying a lab-grown baby.""Fine! You were a victim as well.""Forget it. It's in the past." She changed the subject and said, "We will need to hire a nanny.""Can't we take care of the baby ourselves?" Elliot did not think that their caring for the baby would be a problem as they had servants in the house. "It's tiring to take care of the baby at night. We aren't young anymore, so if we stay up all night, we are going to be useless during the day." Avery knew that Elliot was far too excited to be a grandfather that he forgot how exhausting it could be waking up at night to care for the baby. "Let's hire a babysitter instead! Find someone younger and energetic."Elliot nodded. "Sure. We can try sleeping with the baby tonight, though.""Alright! We can try."An hour later, Hayden returned home and found his family sitting in the living room with

"How can you not know anything about her? Why did you sleep with her?" Elliot asked.Hayden took a deep breath. "She was a waitress at the hotel."Elliot, Avery, Layla, Robert, and Ivy were all rendered speechless.Hayden ignored them and walked toward the dining room as he felt famished and exhausted.Layla was the first to snap out of it and hurried after him.Soon, Elliot and Avery recovered from their initial shock as well and exchanged knowing looks."What do you think?" Elliot asked."I don't know. It's all a little surreal," Avery said."You think so, too? I thought I was the only one who finds this ridiculous! How can our brilliant son fall for a waitress?""They aren't dating, right? They aren't even in contact.""Even if it was just a one-night stand, why would he find himself a waitress?""Why would you care about the woman's profession or status if it's a one-night stand? Forget it. It's already happened, so just accept it!""He went to look for the mother. What
