Hold On Mr.! Your Sweetheart is a Real Queen-Chapter 747: Paternity test

The two sat quietly for a while, sorting through their emotions. Daisy Ginger then asked hoarsely and softly, "Did you give your brother’s will to Charlotte Smith?"

Edward Stephens shook his head, "The lawyer will contact her tomorrow."

"When will the paternity test results come out?"

"At the fastest, in three days."

"..." Daisy Ginger took a deep breath, her throat felt like it was stuffed with cotton, dry, hoarse, unable to speak. She lowered her head, reached out to embrace the man’s waist lightly on the sofa, and buried her face in his chest to listen to his heartbeat.

She didn’t know what the result would be.

But even the mere possibility of a guess was enough to make her heart race wildly. 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

So, how did Edward Stephens feel now?

After dinner, the two took a bath and lay down together on the bed.

Perhaps because of Robert Stephens’ will, neither had any sleepiness.

Daisy Ginger watched stocks for a while, feeling restless. She turned to look at the man leaning half-closed on the headboard, pretending to sleep, and shook his shoulder.

Edward Stevens opened his eyes, his gaze falling on her face, "What’s the matter?"

"Do you still remember what happened that night?"

Though Daisy Ginger didn’t clarify which night "that night" was, the man still guessed from her expression.

"I remember."

"Do you really remember having a relationship with her?"

Recalling wasn’t a pleasant thing, the man’s face darkened slightly. He lowered his eyes, his thick lashes cast a faint blue shadow on his nose, Edward Stephens said, "I was drugged. I remember when I entered, I saw a woman. That woman looked like you."

"...I wasn’t there."

"I know," Edward Stephens said, "It was the drug that caused the illusion."

Seeing another woman as Daisy Ginger, the drug even left him confused. Waking up the next day, Charlotte Smith lay naked beside him.

The body still felt the discomfort and fatigue brought by the drug. Although he didn’t want to admit it, when Charlotte Smith said he slept with her, he had no confidence to deny it.

After all, he couldn’t distinguish whether the memory of that night was a dream or reality.

Later, Charlotte Smith became pregnant.

The timing matched up with that night.

He had no way to refute it anymore.

But if he had to completely state how he slept with Charlotte Smith, what exactly happened, it would be somewhat difficult.

By then, his mind was already muddled, he was holding another woman, but seeing Daisy Ginger’s face...

Daisy Ginger listened to him and was silent for a while.

Thinking about it this way, indeed George Stephens still could be the child of him and Charlotte Smith.

"Alas." Her heart sank, indescribable feelings, with some sorrow etched between her brows.

Edward Stephens said, "So, back then, why did you work with my brother? If you had told me earlier, could this have happened?"

Daisy Ginger pursed her lips, "Can you blame me for this? You didn’t tell me beforehand that you weren’t ’Edward Stephens’."

Both were a bit angry.

But now, there’s no point to reflect on the past.

After all, back then, they had given each other very little trust, which allowed Robert Stephens to exploit the situation.

The paternity test wasn’t out, and Edward Stephens hadn’t contacted Charlotte Smith, just letting the lawyer pass Robert Stephens’ will to her.

Robert Stephens had left a will stating Charlotte Smith couldn’t step into the Stephens family after his death, so Daisy Ginger didn’t know what the will contained after Charlotte Smith received it.

He was already dead, though it couldn’t be said that he deserved it, it just so happened he died young due to organ failure. Daisy Ginger’s hatred for him also gradually faded.

That man indeed had love for Edward Stephens, but this love appeared twisted to the outside world.

Three days later, news came from the research institute regarding the paternity test results.

Edward Stephens received the report, showed it to Daisy Ginger, and then contacted Charlotte Smith.

Daisy Ginger sat in the car, hands clasped, her fingertips still trembling slightly.

Feelings were indescribable, somewhat amusing, she and Edward Stephens had been deceived by Charlotte Smith for five years. If it wasn’t for Robert Stephens’ will, they might have been deceived for a lifetime.

The man beside her was driving.

He seemed calmer than her, but the somber expression still betrayed his emotions.

In the end, Robert Stephens finally freed the brother he loved most.

Although he made many mistakes while alive, he really was caring for him, and even in the end, resolved all errors.

Charlotte Smith was the woman he wanted to see most before dying, George Stephens was his cherishing child. Without his will, nobody in the Stephens family would have thought to check the blood relationship between George Stephens and Edward Stephens.

Did he know what consequences that statement would bring for Charlotte Smith and George Stephens’ future?

Robert Stephens’ name made her feel a mix of emotions.

He wasn’t a good person, but for Edward Stephens, his brother, he was truly sincere, everything he did was for his sake.

Even till the end, he was never selfish.

Daisy Ginger only felt, forcing Edward Stephens to return from Banyan City to see Robert Stephens one last time was really wonderful.

Otherwise, Edward Stephens would regret it all his life.

Edward Stephens arranged to meet Charlotte Smith at a café.

The café was cleared out in advance; by the time Edward Stephens arrived, Charlotte Smith was already sitting alone by the window.

In autumn, she dressed lightly, the thin dark blue long-sleeved silk dress made her look pale and solitary. Upon seeing Edward Stephens and Daisy Ginger arrive, she raised her brown eyes, watching quietly, her slender chin sharper than the last meeting.

Previously, Daisy Ginger always found it incredible that Charlotte Smith could fall in love with Robert Stephens, but now seeing her so frail and pale, those doubts also slowly dissipated.

To love someone, what can be done, what explanation could there be?

The affair between her and Robert Stephens was just seeing through the mist; she really didn’t know what relationship they had.

Edward Stephens led her and sat opposite Charlotte Smith.

"Edward, why are you looking for me?"

Her voice was still soft and gentle, the voice of a well-trained, very obedient girl. Daisy Ginger looked at her with a complex expression, really unable to imagine that such a fragile and gentle woman could hide such a big event from everyone, and even in the end, never disclosed the truth.

When did Robert Stephens find out?

Daisy Ginger couldn’t guess.

When he died in Charlotte Smith’s arms, did he love her? Or hate?

He left such a will, exposing all of Charlotte Smith’s secrets to everyone, yet wanted to see her once before dying.

Truthfully, she really couldn’t understand the feelings between these two.
