Chapter 61 DNA Test Encounter
“That won’t happen at all. If it goes missing, I’ll come to you first, Mr. Hinton.” Oliver’s voice sounded from his room. His response made Bradley laugh out loud.
That rascal. Of all the people in the room, he only suspects me.
“Are you staying over tonight, Mr. Hinton?” Zachary asked with a smile.
“Yes, I’ll be accompanying you lot.” Bradley pinched Zachary’s nose and Gavin’s cheek.
He was taken aback upon noticing Gavin’s shyness.
He guffawed as he stared at Gavin. “Jasper, are you embarrassed?”
“No way!” Gavin responded coolly. He was not used to people pinching his cheeks.
“You’re so stubborn.” Then, Bradley picked Gavin up and felt Gavin turn tense. It was different from before, as Jasper would usually lean against him playfully. Bradley joked, “You’ve learned to be mature, haven’t you?”
Zachary was smiling at Gavin’s misfortune, watching him shifting uncomfortably in Bradley’s arms. “Mr. Hinton, if you keep teasing him, his face will turn redder.”
Gavin pursed his lips as he glared at Zachary.
As a response, Zachary gave him a taunting smile.
“You dropped your wallet, Mr. Hinton.” Gavin suddenly alerted him. Bradley turned to look and realized he was fooled.
Gavin snickered and evaded to the side.
“You little rascal. Get over here and I promise you won’t get hurt!” Bradley shouted as he waved his hands around.
At the same time, Oliver came running out and asked, “Are you calling for me, Mr. Hinton?”
“Give me back my money!” Bradley held out his hand and huffed.
“A bet is a bet. That money is mine now. I don’t have to return you anything.” Oliver sat beside Gavin and stuck his tongue out at Bradley.
In the next moment, Bradley pounced at them and the brothers ran away immediately.
As Arissa bathe Jesse in the bathroom, she could not help but smile at the playful noises outside.
Meanwhile, Danna had just exited the hospital when she spotted Ethen from the corner of her eyes. Upon noticing him, she frowned.
She found it odd for Ethen to appear at the hospital at such a time, so she decided to follow him.
Soon, she noticed that he had an envelope in his hand as he went to meet Shaun.
The two of them headed toward the diagnostics center.
Danna had a bad feeling about it as she followed them. Her heart dropped when she realized they had gone to the paternity testing center.
Whose samples did Ethen bring to do a paternity test? The more she thought about it, the more insecure she felt.
Meanwhile, Ethen reminded Shaun, “Mr. Graham is anxious about the results, Mr. Bailey. You must keep guard at all times. Can the results be produced by tomorrow morning?”
Shaun’s mouth twitched. “Does he want me to stay up all night?”
“Mr. Graham wants to see the results tomorrow morning, after all,” Ethen repeated helplessly.
Shaun glanced at him and started to become curious and nosy. “Do you know whose test is this?”
Ethen was strict and shook his head. “This is confidential information.”
Shaun’s eyes lit up, and he begged, “Tell me, please! I promise I’ll keep it a secret.”
“I don’t know.” Ethen was adamant, causing Shaun to grind his teeth angrily.
“After being around the boss, you’ve become like the boss himself too – that’s not cute at all.”
Ethen stared directly at him, his gaze sharper than razors behind those golden-framed glasses.
“Tell me when the results are out. I’ll take my leave first.”
Shaun waved his hand and said, “The results can only be out earliest by tomorrow noon.”
However, Ethen had left.
Shaun immediately went to start the paternity test.
While he was waiting for the results, he could not help but order some supper.
Arissa cleaned the house while the children were taking their baths. After they were done, it was her turn.
“Go to bed early, kids. You too, Bradley.”
“Okay.” With that, Bradley brought the four kids to bed.
After Arissa was done bathing, she took a look and found Zachary, Oliver, Jasper, and Bradley asleep.
She did not find Jesse as she had gone to her room. The little girl was curled up in her blankets, sleeping peacefully.
Arissa flipped her daughter over, and went to bed beside her.
Sniffing her daughter’s milky scent, Arissa quickly fell asleep.
