Chapter 318
“Tyson is not our father. You don’t need to fight the lawsuit with the Osborne family, Mommy.” Alden lowered his eyes and said, “I’m sorry. Mommy. I should have told you sooner.” “You knew all along?” Adina’s throat was dry. She forced out a few words with difficulty. Alden nodded. “I’ve suspected it a long, long time ago. I just hadn’t done the paternity test.” Adina recalled that Melody had called Duke “Daddy” twice. Her heart trembled a little. “Does Mel also know Duke is your father?”
“Mel doesn’t know.” Alden pursed her lips and said, “But she likes Duke. She has always wanted Duke to be our father, but I don’t think Duke would’ve guessed that we are the children of the Winters family.”
Adina closed her eyes.
Her head was in turmoil as all sorts of thoughts surfaced in her mind.
Tyson was not her children’s father, so that meant she did not have to fight the lawsuit anymore.
However, if Duke found out about Alden and Melody, would he also do everything he could to fight her for the custody of her children?
If Duke wanted to file a lawsuit, there was no way Brenden would help her.
Adina pressed her forehead and said in a low voice, “Alden, go out and stay with your sister. I need some time alone.”
Alden walked out obediently.
Adina kept her head down and did the dishes. She did them very slowly. While doing the dishes, her chaotic mind was gradually relieved.
She thought of that night five years ago.
She had been drugged and delirious. She could not remember what the man looked like. She only remembered the strong smell of hormones,
That day on the cruise ship, after drinking the beverage spiked by Trent, she smelled the same sonell on Duke’s body
