Feel the Way You Feel, My Love novel Chapter 718

“What did you just say?” Natalie’s jaw dropped. “You had your own suspicions as well?”

“Yes.” Connor nodded in affirmation. “I bear a close resemblance to Mr. Shane, after all, so it was only natural for me to suspect that he’s my father.”

Hearing that, Natalie dipped her head without saying anything further.

Well, that’s true. Considering their striking resemblance, I dare say for certain that Shane was indeed the man I was with that night all those years ago! But… Why did the results of the paternity test indicate otherwise?

“Mommy, do you remember the first time he visited our house?” Connor took her hand. “That time, I accidentally yanked out a few strands of his hair.”

At that, understanding dawned upon Natalie. “It was deliberate on your part, Connor?”

“Yes. I suspected he was my father, so I deliberately acquired his hair and asked Uncle Stanley to do a paternity test between him and I. The results were exactly as he said. Sharon and I aren’t his children,” Connor replied.

All at once, Natalie’s vision blurred. Only her timely grasp on the banister saved her from a bad fall.

Even if the two paternity tests done by Shane were falsified, Connor’s couldn’t have been falsified, no? So, the kids are really not his children? But whose children could they be, then?

She propped a hand against her forehead, her entire body feeling as though it had been encased in ice.

She had always believed the children were Shane’s, so the results of the paternity tests made her feel as though a bucket of cold water had just been poured over her head. Thus, she couldn’t quite accept the reality presented to her.

“Mommy…” Connor called out to her in concern upon seeing her increasingly pale countenance.

When she looked down and met her son’s concerned gaze, her heart clenched.

Crouching, she scooped him into her arms and started sobbing. “I’m sorry, Baby. I’m really sorry.”

This is all on me. It’s because of me that the kids have had no father ever since birth, and it’s also because of me that they suffered the vilest verbal attack!

Connor patted her back lightly in consolation. “Mommy, there’s nothing to apologize for. You’ve always loved Sharon and I very much. You’ve done your best to protect us, so we’re very happy. You don’t need to apologize, Mommy.”

At her son’s understanding words, Natalie was both comforted and touched. Her sobs grew in volume.

At that exact moment, Sharon came out after hearing the commotion from within her room. She had no inkling of what had happened, but still, she bawled alongside her mother.
