Kiki used to tell Jaden that when their mother got pregnant, it was the evening in Brass Park Hotel on June 8th, 2012. If Kieran had been there that night, Jaden could be sure that Kieran was their daddy.
Kieran was taken aback. He couldn’t help recalling how crazy and passionate that night five years ago was.
However, when Alisha approached him again, he had no such a feeling anymore.
He thought he was so crazy that night because he had been drugged.
“Ehn. I went to Brass Park Hotel that night.”
Kieran’s words almost made Jaden and Jayla hop up in excitement. Jayla wrapped her arms around Kieran’s neck and yelled, “Daddy! Daddy! I know you are my daddy!”
As she yelled, she pecked on Kieran’s handsome face.
Jaden tried hard to suppress his excitement, but it was written all over his face. He couldn’t help but walk to Kieran and hug him.
Kieran looked at the two kids in his arms. His heart was warm and soft, as if it didn’t belong to him.
His lips parted. He wanted to tell them that he had been to the hotel that night, but he wasn’t their daddy.
However, when looking into the expectant and joyful eyes of Jaden and Jayla, he didn’t have the heart to tell them.
Those words were way too cruel to the kids. After they met Seth, he would tell them the truth. Then it would be easier for them to accept it.
The hospital was not far away from Swedayle Garden. Although there was traffic on the way, it took them less than thirty minutes to arrive.
Seth had been waiting in the parking lot for a while. Seeing Kieran’s sportscar, he rushed over. His face, which looked seventy to eighty percent similar to Kieran’s, was full of confusion.
“Uncle Kieran, with who will I take...”
The car window was pressed down slowly. When he saw the twins in the car, Seth swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
He wondered if Kieran wanted him to do the paternity test with these kids.
That boy looked like him indeed, but he thought that boy’s aura looked more like Kieran’s. He wondered if that boy was his or Kieran’s son.
Seth swallowed hard. When he was about to ask a question, Kieran said in a cold tone, “In the evening of June 8th, 2012, their mother was in Brass Park Hotel.”
Upon hearing his words, Seth felt so shocked as if his brain exploded. On the night when Kieran was drugged, Seth was also in Brass Park Hotel. He was drunk and had sex with a woman. When he woke up, that woman was gone.
All over the years, he had been looking for that woman. He had been admiring a girl secretly, so he didn’t plan to be responsible for that woman. However, since they had sex, Seth wanted to compensate her.
He didn’t expect that woman had given birth to two children for him.
After some fierce mental struggles, Seth said in a low voice, “We don’t need to do the paternity test. They are my children.”
Jaden and Jayla exchanged glances with each other. Was this man their daddy?
Seth didn’t want to speak to them, but he wanted to clarify it.
Even he had two children with that woman. He wouldn’t marry a woman that he didn’t love. He was willing to compensate their mother, but he would never give up the girl he admired the most.
After a moment of silence, he bent over and said to Jaden and Jayla, “Do you want to stay with your mother or with... Daddy? I’ll respect your opinion.”
