Jacob grabbed Kate's hand and said angrily, "Don't do what your husband has done. Do you think we will be fooled?"
Lola also said seriously, "Don't lie anymore, okay? I won't trust you anymore! You lied to me, didn't you? That's all your can do? Do you still want to deceive me into falling into a trap and let go of Murphy?"
"No, no, Lola, you misunderstood me. I didn't lie to you! Your biological father is my stepfather, Eric!"
Shocked, Lola stood up and shook her head in confusion. "What are you talking about? Even if you want to lie to me, don't pull father* out! "(* TN: here father means sworn father)
"I didn't lie. Why don't you believe me?! He is your biological father! I knew he was looking for his own daughter, but I didn't know who her daughter was. It was not until today that I saw him investigating you that I knew the time he lost his daughter coincided with the time you lost. His daughter looked like you when she was a child. The photo is here. Look!"
Kate took out an old photo, in which a delicate girl could be faintly seen. Lola and Jacob lowered their heads and looked at the photo carefully.
Lola covered her mouth and shook her head in disbelief. "It really..."
It was undeniable that the girl in the photo looked like Lola, but Jacob still didn't believe what Kate said. He sneered, "Just this photo, do you mean that Lola is the daughter of Eric? What's your purpose? Kate!"
"My purpose?! Jacob, Lola, if you don't believe in Murphy, don't you believe in me? How can I lie to you?" Looking at Lola with a firm expression, Kate said, "Trust me! I didn't lie to you about it. I knew you wouldn't believe me, but I still said it because it was the truth! If you don't believe me, you can ask your Godfather. He doesn't dare to tell you about it."
Lola's tangled expression appeared on her face and she looked at Jacob uneasily.
Jacob said in a deep voice, "We will find out whether it's true or not."
"The reason why I am in a hurry to see you is that I want to tell you the news as soon as possible... I know that Lola is very sad because of her family background. I'm afraid that her sadness will affect her health... So I think it will be a good thing if she really finds her biological father."
Kate looked at Lola and said, "I'll ask uncle to come over sometime. And then you can talk to him face to face."
"No, thanks. Kate, we will deal with it by ourselves! It's getting late. We've been out for a long time. We have to go back!" As he spoke, Jacob held Lola's hand and turned around to leave. But Lola didn't move. She turned to look at Kate and said, "Thank you for telling me the news. Jacob is right. We will find out whether it's true or not by ourselves. But no matter what my relationship with Eric is, I'm afraid it has nothing to do with the matter of Murphy!"
With a slight smile, Lola took Jacob's hand and left, leaving stunned Kate standing there with a long face. Kate said alone, "Believe it or not!"
When Lola and Jacob went back home absentmindedly. Lola didn't say a word and just wanted to go back to her room to have a rest.
Jacob knew that Lola still trusted Kate.
