After dinner, the four moved to the living room. The coffee table was laden with fruit, pastries, juice, and tea.
Winona sat next to Riley, picking up a cherry and offering it to her. "Riley, this one is super sweet."
Riley smiled and pushed the cherry back toward Winona. "You have it. I'm entirely stuffed. I couldn't eat another bite."
She wasn't lying. Daphne had piled so much food onto her plate, and she felt it would be disrespectful to leave anything a senior had served her. She also hated wasting food, so she was absolutely bursting.
Winona popped the cherry into her own mouth and looked up at Victor across the table. "Dad, didn't you say you had an announcement to make after dinner?"
Victor and Daphne looked at the two girls getting along so seamlessly, an overwhelming wave of joy and profound emotion washing over them.
Neither of them knew they were sisters, yet their natural instincts had drawn them together instantly, turning them into the closest of friends. That had to be the undeniable power of blood.
Victor nodded. He opened the drawer of the coffee table, pulled out a document, and handed it to Riley. "Take a look at this."
He looked calm on the surface, but the hands holding the file were trembling slightly.
Confused, Riley took the document. The bold text at the very top immediately caught her eye: The Paternity Test Result.
She looked up at Victor in bewilderment.
Victor clasped his hands tightly together and gave her a heavy, defining nod.
Riley turned her gaze to Daphne.
Daphne's eyes were already red, her voice choked with emotion. "Take your time... You'll understand when you read it..."
A sudden, inexplicable jolt ran through Riley's heart.

Update please...
Its better when the female lead is strong. Nothing worse then reading a story with a weak main character...
