Gabriel thought for a moment. “I believe their own child was sick and they urgently needed money.”
Georgia’s heart ached. Adoptive parents who would sell her must have treated her horribly.
“Where are her adoptive parents? When did they adopt her?” Old Mr. Quintin continued to ask.
Gabriel replied, “Her adoptive parents claimed they found her by a river, but that may not be true.”
“Is their last name Jarvis too?”
“No,” Gabriel paused. “She took my family's name, Jarvis.”
There was a moment of silence as everyone processed this, their thoughts varied.
Old Mr. Quintin was about to ask more when Estelle cut in, “Sylvia and Georgia are doing the test tomorrow. There’s no need to rush to understand Sylvia’s past or look for clues right now, Mr. Quintin. Once the results are out tomorrow, you can ask all the questions you want.”
Whether Sylvia was Georgia’s daughter was still uncertain, and Estelle didn't want people prying into Sylvia's past and making baseless assumptions about her.
Gabriel added, “Estelle is right. Her past doesn't prove anything. We’ll just wait for the results tomorrow.”
Old Mr. Quintin nodded. “You're right, I'm getting ahead of myself.”
They all had dinner together. Don was the most talkative, animatedly describing the cuisine in C Country. Old Mr. Quintin chimed in a few times, and with Sophia cracking jokes, the atmosphere was relatively light and pleasant.
After dinner, it was getting late, so Estelle and Jonathan decided to head home.
Old Mr. Jarvis was staying the night, and Gabriel was heading to his own house. As he was leaving, he said to Georgia, “I'll pick up Sylvia first tomorrow, then come get you.”
Georgia replied, “You don't have to. I’ll drive myself. I know the way now.”
Gabriel nodded. “Alright. Try not to overthink things.”
Georgia, now much calmer, smiled. “I understand. Thank you for everything.”
He squeezed her hand, rubbing her palm gently. “Actually, it wouldn't be a bad thing if Sylvia isn't Georgia's daughter. At least it would give Georgia some time to process things. Even if tomorrow's results are disappointing, she won’t be as devastated as she was today.”
“I know,” Estelle nodded. “Maybe that's what my brother is thinking too. But actually…”
Her eyes lit up. “I really hope Sylvia is Georgia’s daughter. Like me, she grew up in Citadel without parents, all alone. But at least I had my grandfather and brother. She had no one. If she’s Georgia’s daughter, she’ll finally have a family.”
Jonathan glanced at her with a soft, low laugh. “And if Sylvia is really a Quintin, her relationship with Gab can move to the next level.”
Estelle grew even more cheerful. “Maybe this will be the catalyst that brings them together.”
Jonathan couldn’t help but smile. “Don’t get your hopes up too high, or you might be disappointed tomorrow.”
Estelle took a deep breath, her delicate features alight with a smile. “But you have to have hope, right?”
Looking at her adorable expression, Jonathan wished he could pull the car over and kiss her.
