Colton didn’t seem to be surprised by Nicole’s question. He put down his spoon and looked at her with dark eyes.
“Nicky, Richard’s paternity test can’t go wrong. Hayden is definitely mine.”
Hearing his words, Nicole felt her head starting to ache. She pursed her lips. Clenching her hands into fists, she muttered, “I have only ever slept with one man. It was on that night five years ago.”
Colton nodded and admitted, “Same here. It was also five years ago. However, the woman on the bed was Queenie after I woke up.”
Nicole finally understood the truth. Queenie had lied to Nicole that the man Nicole slept with was Joseph, in order to hide the fact that it was actually Colton.
The man from five years ago was Colton!
That’s why Hayden looks so similar to him.
However, Nicole still had some doubts. “Didn’t you do a paternity test earlier? It shows you’re not related to Hayden, no?”
Colton had the same doubt too. After Richard’s paternity test results were out, Colton went to the previous hospital to investigate. It turned out someone secretly tampered with the results.
“That report has been tampered with.”
Now, everything made sense. Five years ago, Nicole slept with Colton. However, only Queenie knew the truth. Queenie was afraid the truth would be exposed, so she revised the paternity test report and
lied to Joseph. She made a fake report to confuse everyone.
“I—” There was a lump in Nicole’s throat and she didn’t know what to say. There was an information overload at this moment.
However, Colton was considerate. Text © owned by NôvelDrama.Org.
“If you find it troublesome, don’t think about it anymore. I won’t force you. You can figure it out yourself before telling me your decision.”
He paused and continued, “Five years ago, I was drugged by a woman. You and I slept together by accident. However, I was not in a clear state of mind, and I couldn’t remember whom I had slept with.”
This was why Queenie was able to impersonate Nicole.
Knowing Queenie had lied to him for five years, Colton found that he was not as angry as he imagined. Instead, he was calm.
Nicole lowered her eyes. Although she went through many troubles, she still didn’t know how to handle this matter.
Do I have to make Colton thank me for saving him? There’s no need, is there?
Nicole hesitated for a while. After raising her head, she said thoughtfully, “I have been raising the child for a long time. I never thought about marrying into a wealthy family with Hayden.”
Colton thoughtfully nodded at Nicole’s words.
“I understand. With your current fame and income, you can live a good life without the Gardner Family.”
Nicole lowered her eyes and her long eyelashes trembled. After finally gathering her courage, she said, “You are Hayden’s biological father. If Hayden likes you, you can be his father. However, we have no feelings between us, so—”
Colton looked at Nicole and grinned with his thin lips. His voice was a little lazy as he drawled, “Who says we have no feelings between us?”
Nicole was stunned and she looked up suddenly, not understanding what he meant.
Colton said bluntly, “Nicky, I like you very much. I can give you and Hayden a legitimate identity if you are willing to marry me.”
Nicole was shocked. She came here today to distance herself from the Gardner Family. Never did she didn’t expect Colton to say such a thing.
Her throat was sore. She opened her mouth and tried to say something, but nothing came out.
After a long time, she spat out a few words, “President Gardner, are you kidding me?”
