After marrying my boss (Anna) novel Chapter 576

Chapter 576 Concerns Of The Shaw Family

“Leanne, since you refuse to believe us, you should go ahead with the paternity test. Only by doing so would you know if both of us are really telling the truth.”

At that moment, I found it pointless to continue arguing with Leanne, for nothing we said could get through to her. As a result, the only way to change her mind was to rely on science, hence the paternity test.

After hearing my argument, Leanne fell silent while her face lost all color. Evidently, what happened today didn’t go according to her plan. She must have assumed that Michael would return to her side once he saw Melvin. Unfortunately, the matter had developed in a manner that deviated significantly from her expectation.

“As of now, the paternity test is the only way to determine whether the child is mine or not. If he really is, I’ll definitely take responsibility for both of you. If the result says otherwise, you had better make sure you disappear from my life.”

Michael, who had been silent throughout, finally stated his stand while staring at Leanne with an indifferent expression.

The fact that he said those words supported my conviction that the child wasn’t his. That led me to let out a long sigh of relief.

After staring at Michael’s face, Leanne finally replied with an expression that was filled with anguish, “Do you really think Melvin isn’t your child? Why do you resent the fact that he is our son so much?”

“My feelings and hopes are irrelevant to this entire saga. Isn’t the paternity test the only way to determine whether the child belongs to me? Leanne, don’t you want to know for certain if I’m the father?”

Michael met Leanne’s sorrowful gaze with his usual emotionless expression. In spite of the accusations she hurled at him, there was barely a minute change on his face.

A long silence ensured before Leanne locked gazes with Michael and replied firmly, “Fine. I’ll prove that Melvin is our child. If the paternity test shows that he is your son, I hope that you’ll keep your promise when the time comes!”

The only reason she dared to agree to it was that she truly believed Melvin was Michael’s son.

Nevertheless, I sympathized with Leanne when I saw how she reacted to the matter. Since she was unwavering in her faith that her son was Michael’s, I wondered how she would take it when she finally realized she had no idea who the father truly was. In fact, I wasn’t even sure if she could take the shock of such a revelation.

However, that was no longer any of my business. All that mattered to me was having the paternity test prove that Melvin wasn’t Michael’s son.

Michael looked into Leanne’s eyes and declared earnestly, “If you can prove that he is my son, I’ll take responsibility for the two of you.”

Locking gazes with him, Leanne felt tears welling up in her eyes. Coupled with her ashen-looking face, she looked extremely haggard.

Subsequently, I walked up to Michael’s side and took his arm before suggesting softly, “Let’s go.”

Learning of the truth behind the matter came as a mental release for me. As for Leanne, there was no way a woman like her could become a threat to my relationship with Michael.

After shooting Leanne a glance, Michael turned around and left with me in tow.

After getting into Michael’s car, I heaved a long sigh of relief.
