"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

"Hayden, do you know this woman?" Layla could sense that Hayden had feelings for this woman. "You don't have her contact, so that means you aren't really close to her, right?""I don't know her, but I know what I'm doing," he said. "I will get to the bottom of this.""As you should, but be careful not to get fooled. She might be after your heart or your money.""Do I look like a fool to you?""You don't, but people would occasionally tend to lose touch with these things from time to time. Your wit abandons you when you are in love," Layla said. "Back when I said that I wanted to marry Eric, you all thought that I'd gone mad.""I didn't think it was a foolish choice," Hayden commented. "At least Eric won't take advantage of you in any way.""Duh! I've managed to keep a leveled head, but you might not! After all, I married someone I've known since I was a kid, and you don't even know the mother of your child.""That's enough." Hayden's head was pounding. "Are you not going home to

"I drank too much that night. That's it. Don't overthink it," Hayden said."Oh... alright, then! Remember not to drink too much in the future." Layla glanced at the clock and said, "Get some rest, Hayden! You haven't rested since you came home.""Yeah." Hayden returned to his room and unlocked his phone as he lay in bed after his shower.He had told the manager of the hotel to inform him whenever there was an update, and the manager had sent him a text.[Mr. Tate, the employees have no idea why you are looking for this woman, so they are too scared to tell the truth. Can you at least tell me you have good intentions?]Hayden thought that the manager's words made sense and replied. [I'm looking for this woman to reward her, so I will reward anyone who can provide leads on this woman.]The manager instantly replied once he received Hayden's text. [I will ask them again to see if any of them are willing to tell the truth.][Anyone who can provide leads will be rewarded 15,600 dolla
