Though it was merely a general analysis that could be different from the final result, there was a fifty percent chance that it was accurate.
Elliot had never been one to think that fate would favor those who did not believe in it.
'Result: According to the DNA analysis, the results support the conclusion that there was a paternal relation in the DNA combination between sample 1 and sample 2.'
Shortly after, another message came in from the person in charge of the paternity test center.
[Mr. Foster, I will send you the refined result in five days.]
Elliot suppressed the disgust he felt and replied calmly.
[Sure.]
"Elliot, I told Hayden that you had gotten him some gifts, but he refused to look at them," said Avery when she noticed Elliot staring at his phone. "Let's just tell him that I was the one who bought the workbooks! Otherwise, he is probably not going to practice at all. By the way, how did you find out that he has bad handwriting?"
Elliot set his phone down to take a sip of milk to calm himself. "During the kids' birthday party last time, his class teacher said that he was doing well with his studies, but that he hasn't worked on his handwriting."
Avery was more informed in regard to the details about her children's performance at school and said, "It's not that he hasn't worked on it. He seems devoted enough whenever I see him writing, his handwriting just comes out that way.
Everyone has something that they are good and bad at. I talked to him about it before and gave up afterward because I didn't want to affect his confidence.”
"Would it affect his confidence that I bought him workbooks, then?" Elliot's expression darkened. "I'll just buy him another gift!"
"It's fine. I'll just tell him that I asked you to buy it." An idea happened upon her all of a sudden and she said, "That way, he wouldn't be too angry about it."
"Just head out first if you are already done! My place is close to the office so I will head out later.”
Avery intended on trying on the jewelry he bought. Since he had already bought them, she should try her best to change her laziness when it came to these things.
"Okay. Call me if you need anything."
He got up to leave and when he walked past the living room, he teased Robert, who was trying the new toys.
"Darling, Daddy is going to work now. I’ll buy you more new toys in a few days."
With that, he walked to the porch to change his shoes and stepped out. As soon as he was out of the door, the gentle expression on his face faded, and the disgust that he tried so hard to suppress overwhelmed him.
