Chapter 111 I Want You to Tell Me the Answer Personally Joeâs expression turned icy, his gaze coolly sweeping over David. âFrom what I know, your sonâs birth mother has gone to your house to take your son away. Iâm afraid you donât have the luxury of meddling here anymoreâ¦â
David glared at him, ready to retort, but his phone rang.
Mrs. Lucky Johnsonâs voice came through from the other end of the line. âLily has come to fight for custody. She insists on seeing youâ¦â
David froze in his tracks.
He looked at Charlotte, who grasped the situation. âSince you have something to attend to, you should hurry back. Mr. Smith wonât do anything to me.â
âIf you dare to harm her, I wonât let you off easily!â David threw out a threat that even he himself felt feeble, then hastily left.
Watching his departing figure, a hint of mockery flashed in Joeâs eyes. âSeems like your fiancé isnât that reliable after all. At least, in critical moments, his choice isnât you.â
Charlotte didnât argue. Her gaze lightly met Joeâs. âMr. Smith, youâve gone to great lengths to speak with me alone. What is it you wanted to discuss?â
Upon mentioning this, Joeâs face immediately darkened. His deep eyes locked onto Charlotteâs. âWho is the father of those two children?â
Charlotteâs heart skipped a beat, but her expression remained casual. âMr. Smith, with your well-
informed sources, shouldnât you have known the answer long ago?â
Joe took a couple of steps closer, reaching out to tilt Charlotteâs chin up, compelling her to meet his gaze. âI want you to tell me the answer personally now.ââ
Charlotte clenched her hand at her side into a tight fist, her nails digging deep into her palm.
âThey are both Davidâs children.â
Hearing these words might have made Joe explode in rage if it had been earlier. However, the present Joe simply looked deeply into Charlotteâs eyes, his lips curling into a sudden smirk. âIs that so? I donât believe it.â
He brought out the medical records of the two children, lightly tapping his finger on them. âRh-negative trait blood type, peanut allergy⦠the Johnson family doesnât have these genetic traits.â
Charlotte hadnât expected him to obtain the medical records. of Ben and Anna so quickly. Her grip on her hand tightened another notch. âItâs just a coincidence. Do you intend to consider anyone in the world who meets this criteria as your child, Mr. Smith? Wonât that mean the whole world is filled with your children?â
Seeing her sticking to her denial, Joe straightforwardly suggested, âSince youâre unwilling to admit it, weâll get a paternity test done.â
After three years of interaction, Joe felt he understood Charlotte well. She wasnât the type to hastily seek companionship due to heartbreak, let alone have two children.
Charlotte firmly declined, âI wonât agree to a paternity test.â
Joeâs expression turned cold, âIâm afraid you donât have a say in this.â
He reached out and grabbed Charlotteâs wrist, but before he could utter a word, a small figure came charging like a mini cannonball, crashing into him forcefully. âYou big meanie! Youâre not allowed to bully my mommy!â
Anna was so furious that her face turned crimson. Her round eyes were fixed on Joe with unwavering intensity.
Being small in size, Annaâs collision didnât really cause pain. Witnessing this soft and chubby little child, Joeâs gaze immediately softened.
âAre you Anna?â Joe observed the little child before him closely and indeed found traces of his own features between her brows and eyes.
Seeing his gaze land on Anna, Charlotte took a swift step forward, placing herself between the two. âI wonât agree to your proposal. You may leave now.ââ
