Right Person, Wrong Time novel Chapter 49

Chapter 49 Taking a Paternity Test

Silence filled the air when Joseph finished his sentence. He stared fixedly at Nicole, wanting to see how she would respond.

Nicole fell silent for a moment before a smile suddenly appeared on her face. At first, she was smiling faintly; after that, though, she laughed right away while wiping the tears off the corner of her eye, as though she had heard an outrageous joke.

After laughing for a while, she finally put on a stern expression. Taking out her phone, she glanced at its screen with amusement all over her face before looking at the man before her, saying, “Mr. Mann, today is not April Fool’s Day, but the mid-winter holiday. Don’t tell me you’ve only come up with such a way to draw my attention after so many days.” As she spoke, the smile on her face slowly disappeared, and her voice took on a grim tone. “We never met until we talked about our possible collaboration last time. What’s your motive in making such an outrageous claim right now?” She stared at him with a layer of frost in her beautiful eyes. “How could you resort to such a dirty trick to get to work with F&M Apparel?”

Nicole’s voice sounded increasingly grim as it turned colder and colder, sending a chill down Joseph’s spine. Looking at Nicole, who was already seething with anger before him, he inwardly regretted what he had just said. Judging from how Nicole looks, what Queenie said is most probably a lie. I must’ve been out of my mind to keep believing that woman’s words! But now that I’ve offended her to such an extent, if I chicken out right now, I’ll be embarrassing myself. Gritting his teeth, he put on a tough front, saying, “Whatever the truth is, Miss Nicole, please let your son do a paternity test with me. If what the person said was a lie, I’ll personally bring the rumormonger to apologize to you. However, if what the person said is true, please let me claim my right as the kid’s father.”
