Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 203

Chapter 203 Admit It

Anna was about to go out with this test report when Colton quickly stopped her. “Mom, can you please let me handle this myself?”

He didn’t know what to say to his mother. It seemed like he would have to reveal that Hayden was Joseph’s son if he had to start explaining the details.

If a family like the Manns were to know that Nicole’s son was also Joseph’s, they might just force a marriage on Nicole. After all, she had great commercial value after she assumed the position as the Chief Designer of F&M Apparel.

Hearing Colton’s words, Anna thoughtfully looked at him with her lips pursed tightly. She only spoke again after a while in a light voice. “Colton, the most basic thing that a man should have is responsibility!”

He knew what she wanted to say, and even he hoped that the child was his own. However, the results that came back from the two tests he had were proof enough that Hayden had nothing to do with him.

“It is a long story, Mom.”

“Make it short, then,” Anna insisted.

Left with no choice, Colton could only explain, “This paternity test belongs to Nicole’s son and his biological father, which is not me. Nicole is doing this to keep it a secret.”

Anna continued to stare at him for a long time before she finally looked away.

“If you want me to trust you, let Hayden do another paternity test with you again someday. I will give up if the result comes out negative!” Anna huffed.

As he looked at his mother’s stubbornness, Colton could only nod as it seemed that it was the only way. “Okay. We will do that.”

After Anna got out of the car, Wendy immediately followed after her as she asked in a low voice, “Mom, do you really believe what Colton said?”

Anna smiled at that, and she put away the paternity test result. “Colton might have his own reasons for not wanting to accept the child as his own, but since Hayden is my grandson, he shouldn’t have to live a life like a stray.”

Wendy’s eyes lit up when she heard that, and she quickly asked her mother in the same hushed voice, “What is your plan, Mom?”

“Since he doesn’t want to admit it—” Anna turned to look at Wendy. “—I shall do it for him. We will announce that Hayden is one of ours at your birthday celebration!”
