Divorced the Cheat Married the Fleet (Camilla and Lance) novel Chapter 355

Nichol handled everything smoothly, earning a rare look of approval from Lance. Lance nudged the check toward him again. “Go on, take it. When I marry Camilla, you’ll be at the top of the guest list.”

“I really can't accept this, Lance. I mean…”

“Just take it,” Lance said, cutting him off. “No need to argue. Think of it as me celebrating today, finally recognizing my own son.”

Lance’s attitude left no room for negotiation, so Nichol stopped refusing. Deep down, he couldn’t help but marvel at Lance’s generosity. All this money just for running a paternity test? It almost felt too easy.

He realized he’d totally misjudged Lance, thinking he might ask for a fake report or something shady. Turns out, he’d measured a good guy by his own small-minded standards.

With that in mind, Nichol felt embarrassed about his earlier thoughts. He tried to make up for it with a compliment. “I haven’t met Jasper yet, but a young, successful dad like you? No way that kid isn’t incredible.”

After all, genetics didn’t lie. The kid had to be outstanding.

Lance had no idea what was running through Nichol’s head. He just raised an eyebrow, slightly amused. “Nichol, you’re laying it on a little thick today. I already know my kid’s amazing, but you can say all that to him in person when you meet him.”

Now, with the paternity test in his hands, calling Jasper his son felt a lot more real to Lance.

Nichol felt increasingly guilty. Lance seemed so genuine and easy to talk to. How could he have been so suspicious? He really shouldn’t have doubted him at all.

Lance chatted with Nichol a bit longer, reminding him to keep everything under wraps, then left with Camilla.

After they left, Nichol was still stuck thinking. The test had been real from the start. Anyone could see that. He had no idea why Lance was being so careful and secretive.

Barely ten minutes after Lance and Camilla were gone, Sarah, who was supposed to have left ages ago, stepped out of the restroom at the end of the hallway.

Looking anxious, Sarah found Nichol. “Nichol, what did Lance want from you just now? That paternity test…what’s going on?”

“It’s real, Sarah. You can go tell Tessa. The Charles family has a new grandson to celebrate,” Nichol replied.

He had worked as the Charles family’s private doctor for a while, so he knew everyone pretty well, including Sarah.

He congratulated her with a big smile, genuinely happy for the family, but Sarah didn’t share his mood. If anything, her face grew more serious.
