Snare of Love

Chapter 143: Paternity Test

When the door to the study was knocked, Jayden didn’t even lift his head up. He continued to write his

calligraphy and lightly said to come in.

Thomas opened the door, “Coral is here.”

Coral?

Jayden had forgotten about her existence.

Thomas reminded, “The servant Mrs. Nelson brought with her when she got married.”

Suddenly remembering, Jayden asked indifferently, “What is she doing here?”

“I don’t know, but she has a little boy with her.” Thomas thought about the child’s appearance, and said

in a dignified tone, “The child may belong to Master Matthew.”

He had been in the Nelson family for a long time. He had seen Matthew when he was a child and the

child outside just now looked exactly like Matthew’s childhood.

“What?” Jayden looked at Thomas in amazement, “He has a child?”

Why did he not know?

He put down his brush and walked out of the study, “Let’s go and see.”

Thinking about something, he said, “Go upstairs and call her down.”

Victoria was not feeling well for the past two days, so she was resting upstairs.

“Okay.” Thomas went upstairs.

Jayden entered the living room. Coral and Samuel was sitting on the sofa. Walking towards the sofa

from behind, he could see a small head. His footsteps faltered for a moment and then his speed

increased.

He wanted to see Samuel quickly.

Seeing Jayden walk over, Coral stood up.

“You came.” Jayden was very calm.

Coral nodded, “It has been a long time.”

Although they didn’t live far away, they had few opportunities to meet. The last time was when Matthew

had gotten married and Jayden had called her here for questioning.

Jayden sighed feeling like the time had passed too quickly.

“This child?” He looked at Samuel, with his small white face and his bright eyes. His face and eyes…

Samuel also looked at him. Jayden had profound features, white hair on his temples and wrinkles on

the corners of his eyes that were the mark of his wisdom. He was wearing a Chinese tunic and his

posture was perfectly straight.

Samuel blinked his black sparkling eyes and grabbed the corner of his shirt helplessly. Was this man

his grandpa?

Was he dreaming?

It felt like a dream.

Coral didn’t know how to answer, and she hesitated for a moment, “Didn’t Master Matthew got married

once…”

His marriage was so short and it had been such a long time so it was a bit abrupt to mention it now.

“Yeah.” Jayden understood.

But he was still puzzled. If this child was really Matthew’s, why did she bring him over now that he was

so big?

“It’s like this… Master Matthew divorced Miss Dolores at the beginning. They were born after the

divorce.” Coral looked down at Samuel and patted his head, “Miss Dolores might have been upset

about the divorce and so she didn’t tell him that they were his children… So, I came here thinking…”

She couldn’t say the words “you could evaluate if he really is Matthew’s child” in front of Samuel.

That would have hurt his little heart.

“They?” Jayden didn’t understand.

There was more than one?

Coral explained with a smile, “Samuel also has a little sister. They are twins.”

“What twins?” Victoria walked downstairs. Her clothes hung on her body and she looked haggard as if

she was seriously ill.

“Let us go in the study and talk.” Sensing Coral’s concerns, Jayden asked the servant to entertain

Samuel in the living room, “Bring him something to eat.”

“I’m not hungry.” Samuel said.

Jayden responded, “Okay, then he will show you around.”

“Okay, thank you!” Samuel really wanted to look around the mansion. He wanted to see the place his

father grew up in.

He followed the servant expectantly. Nôvel/Dr(a)ma.Org - Content owner.

Victoria walked down, looking haggard, “What are you talking about?”

Jayden supported her and asked in concern, “Are you feeling better?”

Victoria smiled faintly, “Much better. It’s nothing serious, don’t worry.”

“Do you think you are still young?” Jayden glanced at her, “We are all old!”

Victoria’s expressions dimmed dejectedly, “I think I am still very young! The day I met you feels like it

was just yesterday.”

When he arrived at the study, Jayden helped Victoria sit in a chair before turning to look at Coral, “Just

say what you want to.”

“Wait, first tell me about the twins.”

Victoria interrupted them.

Jayden told her about it.

“What?” Victoria trembled with excitement. Matthew had children?

“You are still sick, don’t get too emotional.” Jayden said in a soothing tone, trying to calm her down.

But how could she calm down when she heard that Matthew had children.

“What on earth is going on?” Victoria clutched Jayden’s arm tightly.

Her nails dug into his flesh, but he couldn’t feel it.

Coral explained the matter again, “I think that Miss Dolores is angry with Master Matthew, so she

doesn’t want to tell him about his children’s existence. I just thought that we could evaluate it

personally… test it, like on TV. One, she won’t be able to deny it anymore, and also, the Nelson family’s

blood should not be taken lightly.”

Jayden pondered on her words slowly.

But Victoria couldn’t sit still, “Where are the children? I want to meet them.”

“There is no need to hurry.” Jayden put a hand on her shoulder.

“Why not? He is in his early thirties, and now we find out he has children. How can I not be excited?”

Victoria had forgotten that she was Matthew’s step-mother.

Jayden thought about the forbearance and pain she had suffered for so many years and asked Coral to

bring the child in.

The stairs were at the back of the living room, so Victoria hadn’t been able to notice that there was a

child in the living room. She had only heard Coral say something about twins.

Soon, Coral brought Samuel in.

Victoria got up from the chair, her frail body swaying as she stared at the little boy in Coral’s arms.

His small pointy nose, full forehead and bug bright eyes were exactly the same as Matthew when he

was a child.

Tremblingly, she walked over to Coral and wrapped her shaking hands around Samuel’s small face.

She wanted to say something but her internal organs seemed to be tearing apart, causing her extreme

pain.

“What is your name?” Her voice was very hoarse.

“Samuel Flores.”

“Samuel Flores?” Victoria turned to look at Jayden. What was going on?

Why was his surname Flores?

“Miss Dolores raised him herself and she had already been divorced when he was born so he has her

surname.” Coral explained.

Victoria understood that much.

It was just, that there was no need for what Coral had said just now about needing to personally

evaluate him. Looking at his face, he was clearly Matthew’s child.

“Call him and ask him to pay us a visit.” Victoria suppressed her tumbling emotions and reached out to

hug Samuel, “Come and hug me.”

Samuel blinked and asked, “Are you my grandma?”

Victoria’s heart seemed to be tearing apart. She trembled all over.

“Yes, she is your grandma.” Jayden answered for her.

He walked over to support her and said firmly, “You are his grandmother.”

Victoria fell into his arms, crying dully.

Perhaps, her willpower had become weak due to her illness.

“Tell him to come back.” Victoria muttered in his arms.

Considering the current situation, Jayden felt what Coral said was reasonable. Dolores must be angry

at Matthew, what they were going to do if she refused to admit that the children were Matthew’s.

So, they needed to show her evidence, so that she will have no room for rebuttal.

“Don’t worry too much about it. I am afraid he is still in the dark.”

“Then what should we do?” Victoria panicked.

This child was obviously Matthew’s. He was the blood of the Nelson family.

Jayden sighed and patted her on the back, “There is a way. Don’t worry.”

Victoria became a little calm, “Then let Samuel stay here.”

“This won’t work.”

Before Jayden could answer her, Coral spoke. She had used an excuse to bring him here; no one

knew where she took him. She couldn’t leave him here before finding the evidence of his identity.

“Coral, you go back first. I will send Thomas to the villa later.” Jayden had an idea.

First, Coral was to go back to find Matthew and Samuel’s hair strand or used toothbrushes for the test.

No one would be able to deny the fact after the evidence.

“Okay.” Coral nodded.
