My extraordinary wife novel (Ashlyn and Lucas) novel Chapter 586

Chapter 586

“Grandma, can I ask you something?” Ashlyn approached Susan with a document in her hand.

“Don’t be a stranger dear. What’s wrong? What do you want to know?” Susan responded without looking up as she was busy peeling garlic.

Ashlyn stared at her intently and inquired, “Are you aware that I’m not my father’s biological daughter?”

Susan dropped the garlic in her hands as panic flashed across her eyes. She quickly picked up the peeled garlic and asked, “Ashlyn, what are you babbling about? How can you not be your father’s daughter?”

“Grandma, this is the result of the paternity test between my father and I. It shows that we are not related.” Ashlyn held up the document pouch.

Her heart sank as she stared at Susan.

Nothing was more painful in this world than being lied to by your loved ones.

“Grandma, how did my mom die? How long do you want to keep that from me?”

“Your mom was killed in a car accident.” Susan didn’t expect Ashlyn to do a paternity test.

So what if you know you’re not Horace’s biological daughter? Your mom has been dead for so many years, so it’s not like you can ask her anything.

“Ever since I was young, I have always treated you with respect. I shared everything I have with you. I have deposited roughly fifty million into your bank account already ever since I joined the workforce. Also, do you know who beat up the village bully that gave you trouble? It was me! Grandma! Have you forgotten how we only had each other while we were living in the village?”

When Susan heard Ashlyn’s complaints, she looked away awkwardly.

“I didn’t forget, Ashlyn. My love for you is real. It’s just that, I really don’t know much about the matters related to your mom. Even though you’re not a biological member of the Berry family, I still love you all the same. However... you will have to decide whether you still want to acknowledge me as your Grandma. I’m fine with whatever your decision is.”

Susan felt miserable. “I really don’t know how did our family end up like this. Your dad is in prison, while Mary and her daughter ran away. Meanwhile, you’re are not Horace’s biological daughter. Oh! What did I do to deserve this?”

Just as she spoke, she broke down in tears.
