Secretary’s Secret Lover by Zayla Quinn novel Chapter 296

Chapter 296 Snatch the Child From Her

Belle fell asleep.

Yvette returned to her room but could not fall asleep.

Perhaps, Yvette should find Belle a father, who could be there for her as she grew up.

Yvette believed that Alan would agree with her if he were alive.

However, Yvette could only start choosing a man when her marriage ended.

Thinking of her husband, who appeared out of nowhere, Yvette was even more distressed.

She buried her head under the pillow and rubbed her head against it hard.

Jerk!

At the bar.

The three men were seated, drinking hard to drown their sorrows.

After the first round, Marvin kickstarted the second round.

“Why are you drinking so much today?” Marvin was a little surprised when he saw Lance downing one shot after another.

Lance remained silent with a long face.

“Isn’t Yvette coming back a good thing? Why are you still upset?” Marvin asked.

Lance asked out of nowhere, “Can a woman be pregnant for two years?

“What?”

Marvin burst into laughter, wining coming out of his mouth.

“Come on, buddy. This isn’t a fairy tale.”

Marvin said, “Very few women are pregnant for eleven months, let alone two years. I mean, the baby could go to kindergarten upon birth if the mother was pregnant for two years.”

This dashed Lance’s hope.

He gloomily picked up the wine glass and drank it all.

“Have you met Yvette’s child?” Marvin asked.

Lance nodded expressionlessly.

Marvin asked casually, “Who does Belle take after?”

Lance tried to remember the kid’s face.

Her round eyes, long eyelashes, and tiny face. The girl looked like Yvette when she smiled.

“She takes after Yvette.”

Lance had investigated Alan and seen his photos.

As much as Lance hated to admit it, Alan and Yvette looked a bit similar. So, Lance couldn’t tell if the girl was more like Alan or Yvette.

But Lance felt that Belle was more like her mother.

“Have you never suspected that the child is yours?” Jamie suddenly spoke.

Strange things like resurrection could happen. Maybe there was a chance that the girl’s father was Lance.

Distressed, Lance gulped a mouthful of alcohol.

Of course, he thought of that possibility and investigated it.

Lance searched for information when he was told Yvette had a daughter.

He found Belle’s birth certificate, the birth record of the hospital, and even a birth video clip.

Everything was clear. No loopholes.

Lance finally realized after Yvette left that Charlie could not be the girl’s father..

Charlie, a sinister and cunning man, might trick Lance into doubting Yvette.

But before Lance could talk to Yvette and clarify his doubts, she suddenly left.

Looking at Lance’s expression, Marvin knew that Lance must have investigated it.

Marvin leaned back on the sofa. “You and Yvette haven’t divorced, have you? What do you think about the child?”

After all, the Wolseley family had not yet had a grandson. If Lance did not want to divorce, custody would be a major problem.

Now that Colton’s father had passed away, Colton became an influential figure in the family.

The man loved drama and chaos. Whether the girl was the biological daughter of Lance, Colton just wouldn’t accept her.

Thinking of Belle, Lance felt a trace of warmth in his heart.

It got stronger and spread to his entire body.

“If Yvette doesn’t refuse, the girl will be a Wolseley,” Lance put an arm on the armrest, as he said calmly.

Marvin tutted. He hadn’t expected that Lance would accept the child of Yvette and another man.

This was beyond his expectations.

He clinked the wine bottle with Lance’s. “Don’t tell Yvette about it.”

“Why?” Lance raised his eyebrows.

“Are you stupid?”

“In that case, Yvette will think you are snatching the girl from her,” Marvin said.

What Marvin didn’t say was that Lance’s expression made it more convincing that he wanted to snatch the girl.

Marvin raised his eyebrows. It seemed that Yvette’s daughter was very cute.

When he got a chance, Marvin would go see the girl.
