NovelFinishChapter 389 "Cross my heart and hope to die, I didn't mess with anything! This report is identical to the last one because I did it myself, no second pair of hands involved!" Elysia backed him up, "I believe in Dr. Benjamin!" Benjamin was so touched he almost wanted to give Elysia a big hug and cry it out.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtTarquin frowned deeply. Of course, he trusted Benjamin, but he also trusted the other three people! Yet, his gut told him she was the one. It had to be! There must be something fishy with this paternity test! It's possible Benjamin goofed up somewhere in the process! Tarquin turned to Elysia, "We've got four reports, and three of them point to you and Elijah being related. You still want to argue?" Elysia stood her ground, "This isn't something you can solve with probability. If there's even one mistake, that means there's a problem!" Tarquin stared at her for a moment, his expression turning dark, "We're redoing the test. Take new samples." Pfft- Elysia nearly spat blood in his face! She had just narrowly dodged a bullet and was quietly celebrating when he decided to twist the knife! Damn it! Elysia protested, "Redo what? I don't agree!" She didn't want to go through the test again, especially if Elijah didn't have a chance to mess things up this time. She suspected Elijah had sabotaged the test.
Tarquin eyed her, demanding, "Why not? Redoing it means either a strand of your hair or a vial of your blood. No big loss for you. If you're innocent, you should agree without hesitation!" Elysia retorted, "Why should I? Are we best buddies, that I need to sacrifice my hair or blood to ease your mind? To be frank, I've got a bone to pick with you. I'm not a saint who'll cater to your feelings despite my grievances. You're not my anything; I don't have to jump every tyou say so! Lettell you, our laws require consent for a private paternity test. You conducting one without my consent already breaks the law. I haven't sued you to let you off easy, hoping you'd back off and stop harassing me! And I did it for Elijah's sake, but don't push your luck! Even a cornered rabbit will bite!" She ranted non-stop, ready to leave after her piece.
Tarquin's lips were pressed tightly together, foregoing pointless chatter, "Do you want to do this the easy way, or should I?" Crap! Elysia was immensely frustrated, her rant falling on deaf ears.
She snapped, "Do you not understand human language?!" Tarquin, tired of talking, grabbed her wrist to take a sample.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmElysia resisted fiercely, protecting her head while yelling, "Let go of me, you jerk!" "Crack-" Elijah suddenly burst into the room.
He frowned, clearly displeased, "Let go of my mommy!" Tarquin paused, releasing her, "Elijah, why are you out here?" Elysia quickly hid behind Elijah, whispering, "Are you cold, Elijah?"
Elijah first glared at Tarquin, then turned to Elysia with a gentle voice, "I'm not cold, mommy. The pot is bpiling; you's should check on it. I'm hungry." "Oh, right." Elysia hurried back to the kitchen.
Elijah then turned to Benjamin, "Uncle Benjamin, you go ahead too. Pwant to vie talk to daddy alone."
"Sure, sure." Benjamin quickly made himself scarce, not wanting to stay a second longer. In the hallway, only Tarquin and Elijah, father and son, remained. Elijah frowned at his dad, visibly upset with him.
