Chapter 306
Tm no saint, I despise her! You expect me to embrace her child, to welcome her into my life as if Evelina won’t constantly haunt us, stiming trouble of every tum Staying under these circumstances, Id feel like I’m debasing myself, unless you clarify… Mmm!”
Lizettos rant was abruptly cut off as the man seized her by the nape and pressed his lips against hers
His kiss, fiery and domineering with a hint of punishment, made Lizetta’s heart flutter and her knees weak, Involuntarily finding herself seated on his lap, lost in the deepening kiss.
It wasn’t unti! he released her, breathless, that he voiced his discomfort. You’ve hurt ma” Looking down, Lizetta realized that in her unconscious attempt to push him away, she had inadvertently scratched at an injury beneath his clothes.
Feeling both guilty and defiant, she released the grip on his hospital gown, shooting Remington a sharp glare.
“Serves you night! You shouldn’t have kissed me out of nowhere without explaining yourself first!”
Remington chuckled, lifting Lizetta’s chin gently.
“So, staying by my side equates to degrading yourself?”
Lizetta pursed her lips, her voice soft with a mix of grievance and coquetry, and a hint of arrogance.
“It does, unless you explain.”
Her tone was like a book, ensnaring Remington’s heart, leaving him no choice but to relent to her demands.
He released Lizetta, leaning slightly to grab his smartphone from the table, and handed it to her, saying, “Here, look at this paternity
test.”
Lizetta gave Remington a quick glance before taking the phone, focusing on the report displayed on the screen.
It wasn’t just any paternity test, but a genetic test confirming a grandparent–grandchild relationship.
Seeing the results, Lizetta was puzzled, “Whose grandchild is this?”
She scrolled further, spotting the name Martin West and gasped in shock.
“This child is your godfather’s grandchild, so that means Quinn’s child?”
Quinn, the only son of the West family, shared a closer bond with Remington than even Cassius and Timothy could claim.
They were practically brothers, perhaps even closer, with Quinn being a year older than Remington. It was no surprise that Remington treated Quinn’s child as his own nephew.
For the past couple of years, Quinn had been managing the West family’s overseas business, much like Evelina, often staying in Celestia
Recalling how Evelina returned to the country alongside Remington and the West family. Lizetta finally understood why they were together.
However, confusion soon returned.
“If it’s Quinn’s child, why all the secrecy? If Evelina’s with Quinn, shouldn’t he be looking after his own child? Why are you always the one running around for him? And about that paternity test was pressured into, it seemed like the Wests had no idea the child was Quinns‘
“It’s because the child is Quinn’s posthumous son, Remington’s voice was thick with emotion
Posthumous son?
Did that mean Quinn had passed away?
Lizetta looked up in shock, “But I just saw on the financial news a few days ago, the West family’s Nova Tech Innovations went public, and Quinn was there for the bell–ringing ceremony.”
