Grayson Pierce and Eloise Caldwell novel Chapter 135

Chapter 135

Hannah never expected that after twenty years away, Yvonne would come back just to annoy her.

Yvonne could question Hannah all she wanted, but the moment she started doubting Noah, Hannah couldn’t stand it for a second.

Hannah snapped, “Get out! Who the hell do you think you are, meddling in the Pierce family’s business? Noah is my great-grandson. Why would we ever need to do that useless crap?”

Yvonne’s face fell.

Back when she was still living with the Pierce family, Hannah always had a temper, but she’d never really scolded Yvonne. At most, she’d make some cutting remarks.

But today was the first time Hannah had ever lashed out at her so harshly and furiously.

Yvonne thought, ‘Hannah’s totally under Eloise’s spell now.

‘Wait, what did she just say? They didn’t even do a paternity test?’

Yvonne said, “Grayson is my son, so of course I have a say in this. If you haven’t even done a paternity test, how can you be sure the kid is really Grayson’s?

“Some people have ulterior motives. Maybe Eloise had a kid with someone else and is just trying to pin it on Grayson.”

Hannah snapped, “Bullshit! Are you blind? Can’t you see Noah is the spitting image of Grayson when he was little? Not that you’d remember.

“You never cared. You ditched Grayson when he was eight. How could you possibly recall what he looked like as a kid?”

Yvonne was speechless.

She shot back, “We’re talking about the kid, so why are you dragging me into this?”

Hannah sneered, “Oh, so now you’re scared of gossip? If you had the guts to do it, you should have the guts to take the heat. Yvonne, you and Leo have been divorced for twenty years.

“If I were you, I’d have stayed far, far away. How do you even have the nerve to show up here?”

Yvonne’s face turned red and pale by turns, and she was practically biting her lip to keep from snapping back.

She thought, ‘Damn, she really has a wicked mouth.

Yvonne protested, “I’m Grayson’s mother. I gave birth to him. Even if I haven’t done anything else, I still went through all that pain. How can you talk to me like this?”

Hannah shot back, “If you hadn’t given birth to Grayson, I’d have kicked you out.

“Yvonne, you’re not part of this family anymore, so don’t meddle in our business. Let me spell it out for you. Noah is Grayson’s son, and everyone in the Pierce family recognizes that.”

Yvonne was out of options with Hannah, so she turned to Leo, who hadn’t said a word the whole time.

She said, “Leo, say something. Are you really going to accept a kid whose parentage is so unclear?”

Leo replied coldly, “Yvonne, whatever Mom says goes for me, too. Noah is part of the Pierce family, and that’s

all there is to it.”

Yvonne demanded, “How can you just accept him without a paternity test? That’s totally irresponsible!”

Leo shouted coldly, “Show her out!”

Yvonne left reluctantly.

Finally, the living room fell silent again.

Hannah gave Eloise an apologetic look and said, “Eloise, don’t take Yvonne’s words to heart. She doesn’t speak for our family. To all of us, you and Noah are family forever.”

Eloise smiled softly and said, “I know.”

She was the one who brought Noah into this world. Of course, she knew exactly that Grayson was Noah’s father.

No matter how much Yvonne tried to make trouble, Eloise knew she had nothing to fear.

Eloise could tell the Pierce family truly cared about her and Noah. She never misunderstood their intentions, and she wasn’t about to overthink it.

Hannah said, “As long as you don’t let it bother you, that’s all that matters. I’m sorry you and Noah had to put up with all this.”

Hannah let out a sigh and continued, “Yvonne hasn’t been back in twenty years. What’s she doing here now? Just seeing her annoys me.”

Leo said, “I heard she divorced her ex.”

Hannah snorted, “No wonder! Leo, let me tell you. Don’t go doing anything foolish, you hear me?”

Leo looked awkward and said, “Mom, what are you saying? Noah is right here.”

Eloise got up and said, “Noah, how about we go feed the fish?”

Noah eagerly ran over and took her hand.

After they left the room, Hannah asked, “Come on, just tell me. Are you still thinking about Yvonne?”

After the divorce, Leo never remarried.

make sure?”

Eloise felt like her heart had been stabbed. It hurt so much.

She pulled Noah into her arms and hugged him tight. “Baby, I know for sure you’re his kid! Don’t you trust me, Noah?” she said.

Noah looked torn, saying, “But everyone keeps saying I’m not really his son.”

He used to be so sure he was Grayson’s son, but after hearing so many doubts, he couldn’t help but wonder if maybe they were right.
