Chapter 1681 Explain
He was too overbearing. Previously, I would have already taken Summer’s side and gone against him. Yet, at that point, I could only frown as I waited silently for the way everything would turn out later.
Fortunately, Summer’s true nature was a kind girl. Knowing that we wouldn’t hurt her intentionally, she decided to reveal to us her secret obediently.
“Two years ago, Mr. Cress accompanied me to the entrance ball of my college. Everyone who saw us together thought that he was my father. I’d never examined our looks, but from that day onward, a seed of suspicion got planted in my mind.”
She then abruptly stopped as though she felt bad about it.
However, even if she didn’t finish her words, what happened afterward was predictable.
With her strong talent in Math, she started to recall how Jared stuck close to her all the time. As a result, everything Jared did before, which she thought was the care from a teacher, had evolved into the hidden affection from a father.
Silence enveloped the cemetery. The three of us stood in front of Macy’s tombstone, lost for words.
A long while later, I finally managed to regain my composure. I struggled to appear calm as I tried to talk to Summer. “How much do you know?”
Feeling that the question was a bit inappropriate after giving it a thought, I rephrased it. “Tell us everything that you know.”
I believed that with Summer’s intelligence, she could find out the truth with ease. However, there was always a possibility that Jared would take advantage and twist the truth. To help her out, I had to know the process of her investigation.
Summer nodded calmly. “I only took his and my hair to conduct a paternity test. That was the only thing that I did. He doesn’t even know that I’ve found out that he’s my biological father.”
“That’s all?” I breathed a sigh of relief inwardly at her answer. It’s better than what I imagined.
She repeated my words as she continued, “That’s all. I know that there is a reason for Mr. Cress and the both of you to hide the truth from me, so I don’t dare to investigate it publicly. I didn’t want you to worry.”
