Chapter 616

Isaac composed himself and put his hands around Irene. "It doesn't matter what he wants. Let's do the paternity

test anyway-we shouldn't let anything slip past us."

After they returned to their car, Irene said as she put on her seatbelt. "I'll do the paternity test myself."

She was uncomfortable with others doing it, and she wanted no error!

"Okay," Isaac replied.

As her heart became filled with anticipation and worry at once, Isaac held her hand and squeezed it. "Don't worry."

Irene simply leaned her head against the window. "Are you saying that I shouldn't hold out too much hope?"

Isaac certainly thought so, and Irene understood that.

Nodding and trying to look relaxed just then, she said, "I know."

After Isaac sent her home, he told her, "Get some rest."

Irene nodded and headed straight inside after alighting.

Isaac watched her and only drove off after she went inside.

Bzzt-

Irene's phone rang when she was changing out of her shoes, and she answered it.

"Why don't we meet up?" A voice spoke in amusement from the other end.

That voice...

Irene held her phone away for a moment, and saw that the caller was Harvey!

Hesitating for a moment, she then said, "Not interested."

"What, not interested in my son?" Harvey pressed.

Irene was left silent for a while and did her best to stay calm. "Why would I be?"

"Alright, just pretend I never asked," Harvey said and hung up.

Irene's fingers clenched on the phone.

If she went to see Harvey, she just might find out if the baby he was holding was hers.

After thinking about it, he called Harvey, and he soon answered as if expecting that she would call back.

Chuckling, he asked, "Made up your mind?"

"Where?" she asked cooly.

"Grand Court Hotel. The room number is 8808. I'll be waiting."

Irene hung up without saying anything.

"Mama." Tommy ran up to her and hugged her leg just then, looking up at her as he asked, "Papa?"

Irene stroked his little cheek and smiled. "He'll be home later."

Then, as she scooped him up in her arms and headed to the living room, he blabbed, "Go out, play."

He had not left the mansion ever since he got sick, and his fair cheeks were even white now, no thanks to being

stuck indoors.

Irene coaxed him, saying, ’Til take you to the park tomorrow, okay? It's cloudy today."

Tommy said nothing, but his little lips were pursed.

He was starting to pout now that he perked up.

Irene gave him a peck on his tender cheeks. "I'll take you outside tonight, okay?"

As Tommy smiled happily, Sheryl arrived with a plate of fruits for the toddler. "He's going to be spoiled if you keep

playing to his tune."

Irene opened his clothes to check Tommy's body just then-his rash was gone aside from faint red blotches, though

those would fade soon enough as well.

"He needs some sun. Staying in the house all the time is bad."

"He gets all the sun he needs-l've been letting him play on the balcony," Sheryl retorted.

In fact, this mansion had two large balconies, and it was sunny from morning to evening!

"He's better now, so we shouldn't keep him stuck inside. He's supposed to attend kindergarten in a couple years,

too," Irene stubbornly said.

Sheryl smiled. "Fine, but bring someone with you."

Sheryl had become prudent ever since the mess with Ian Jefferson.

"Yeah," Irene replied and took Tommy outside.

It was not until he had his fun and fell asleep that she left.

Arriving at the designated location, she knocked on the hotel room door, which soon opened.
