Violet was stunned, "You had a paternity test, when? How come I didn't know?"
"When I first met Calvin, I had suspected his relationship with me, so I had Fraser got his blood sample for a paternity test, and the results showed that he was not related to me."
"That's not possible!" Violet loudly denied.
She had only ever had him as a man.
How could Calvin not be his child? They obviously looked so much alike.
"There's nothing impossible, because I've had it authenticated twice and both times it showed otherwise." Stanley said with pursed lips.
Violet shook her head with a pale face, "No, no, you lied to me."
If Calvin wasn't his kid, whose kid could he be?
Wasn't him the guy from that night?
No, the surveillance recordings told her that it was indeed Stanley at that night!
"Stanley, have you been tricked?" Violet spoke emotionally, "Calvin and Arya are really your kids, how about we do another identification?"
"It's not necessary, no matter how many times you do it again, the result will be the same." Stanley looked at her coldly, "I don't know why you have to say that they are my kids, but they aren't, telling a lie will only makes you sick."
Hearing these words, Violet was like struck by lightning and her body trembled, almost falling over.
She was sick?
How was she sick when she merely wanted him to know that Calvin and Arya were his kids?
Violet looked at the man sadly.
The man, however, ignored her and headed straight downstairs.
"Stanley, where are you going?" Violet grabbed the railing and looked down.
The man kept moving forward, not answering at all, and his figure quickly disappeared.
"Mommy." Calvin's childish voice came from behind her.
Violet wiped her tears from her eye and turned back, barely squeezing out a smile, "What's wrong, baby?"
"Just now you and Daddy ...... No, Uncle Stanley, I heard your conversation with Uncle Murphy." Calvin walked over.
Violet's heart trembled as she heard that, "You heard it?"
"Yes." Calvin nodded, "Uncle Murphy is right, Arya and I are not his kids, in fact, not only Uncle Murphy doubted my identity the first time he saw me, I was also wondering if Uncle Murphy was my father the first time I saw him."
"What?" Violet was surprised, "You suspected that too?"
"Yeah." Calvin nodded, "Uncle Murphy and I look so much alike, so I was suspicious."
Violet lowered her head and didn't speak anymore.
Yeah, with such similar looks, she was sure that the man from that night was Stanley.
But why the identification result showed otherwise?
"Do you still remember the first time Uncle Murphy went to our house?" Calvin took her hand, "That time I accidentally got a few of Uncle Murphy's hairs."
Hearing that, Violet understood something, "Calvin, you did that on purpose?"
"Yes, I suspected that Uncle Murphy was my father, so I purposely got his hair and then asked Godfather to do a paternity test for me and Uncle Murphy, and the result of the test, just like Uncle Murphy said, is that Arya and I are not his kids." Calvin said.
Violet's eyes went dimmed and she held onto the railing beside her in time to not fall over.
If Stanley's two identifications might had been cheated, Calvin's couldn't have been cheated.
So, Stanley was not the father?
Who was the father then?
Violet held her forehead, feeling nothing but coldness.
She had been convinced that the two kids were Stanley's, but now the result was a blow to her head that she couldn't accept.
"Mommy ......" Seeing Violet's face getting pale, Calvin called out to her with some concern.
Violet looked down at her son's concerned eyes and felt only pain in her heart.
She knelt down and took the little one in her arms as she sobbed, "I'm sorry, baby, I’m sorry."
