Emily narrowed her eyes in disappointment.
Seeing that Henry was about to leave the bedroom after putting on his wristwatch, Emily quickly took his arm and said, "I brought you breakfast. Have a try."
As she spoke, she took Henry to the open balcony.
Henry gave her a sidelong glance and strode over to the rattan chair on the balcony.
"We didn't get to have our dinner date together last night, so let's have breakfast together now."
Emily set out the plates of food with a bright smile. "I told Abbie to buy these."
Through Emily's best efforts, the meal lasted a good ten minutes.
She let out a silent sigh of relief when her phone finally vibrated in her pocket. This was the signal that Abbie was back, so she ended the meal and began cleaning up. They went downstairs together.
On the coffee table in the living room, the envelope was back in its original position, as if no one had touched it.
When he saw the envelope, Henry's eyes darkened. He strode over to it and said with his back to Emily, "My housekeepers will clean up later. You can leave now, Emily."
Emily gave him a gentle reply of accordance and left the apartment.
The moment she closed the door, a sinister smile appeared on her lips, like that of a demon.
Henry sat down on the sofa and opened the file bag with extremely complicated emotions. He wondered how he would tell Logan about his identity and how he would get along with him if the little guy was really his.
A quick glance at the bottom of the report later, his expression was very cold, as if coated with ice.
The results showed that the DNA match for both parties was less than 3.3%.
In other words, the boy who looked like him was not his!
"Damn it!" Henry tightened his grip and wrinkled the report in his hands.
The temperature of the living room dropped drastically.
"Luz Boone, you're ruthless!" he thought.
At the same time, Luz, who was driving to work, sneezed, sending a tremor throughout her body.
She might have caught a cold from not covering herself last night. The thought made her uncomfortable.
Henry's strong physic still lingered in her mind, especially his heavy breathing by her ear. It was like he was still right beside her. In her distress, Luz almost drove the car up the sidewalk.
"F*ck! Learn how to drive better, woman!" The people walking on the sidewalk scattered while cursing, for fear that Luz would hit the accelerator accidentally.
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She forced a smile and tried to calm herself down.
Yesterday was a terrible night!
When she arrived at the company and walked through the swivelling doors, she smelt the pleasant smell of flowers. She was wondering who had such nice smelling perfume when a delivery boy walked towards her from the reception counter.
"Hello, are you Miss Luz Boone?"
Luz nodded. "Yes, I am. What can I do for you?"
