Chapter 426



.

Justin had said he had important information to tell Joel and Tanya.

Also, as soon as he walked in, he pointed out that Tanya had been hiding something from Joel. So, that important matter was the whereabouts of his son?

Joel suddenly understood.

Justin sat down next to him and watched the two of them talk.

He didn’t know what had happened. He could only resolve the misunderstanding between Tanya and Joel before he told the truth.

Seeing that the two were almost done talking and that Tanya was crying hard, Justin touched his nose and hurried to say, “Don’t be in a hurry to cry…. I have good news.”

If Nora woke up and found out that she had made her best friend cry for so long, she would definitely beat the crap out of her.

Tanya and Joel were still sad. They opened their eyes and looked at him in confusion.

Justin coughed, “It was Nora who sensed something was wrong. She secretly took Tanya’s DNA samples to compare with Mia’s…”

Joel and Tanya’s eyes widened.

At that moment, Joel finally understood Justin’s meaning!

Tanya was also surprised and anxious – why was Nora comparing her DNA to Mia’s?

As she thought about this, she heard Justin continue, “You two are mother and daughter.”

“…”

Tanya’s mind exploded.

She looked at Justin in disbelief and felt she recognized every word he said, but when she put them together, why suddenly couldn’t she understand?

Wasn’t Mia Hillary’s daughter?

How could she be his daughter?

While she was stunned, Joel narrowed his eyes and said sternly, “No wonder Hillary didn’t show up when she was pregnant back then. In the end, she suddenly appeared in front of me with a baby girl.”

He looked at Tanya and said, “That night, it was me who had had too much to drink and conspired against me! At the hotel, she insisted that I sleep with her…. In my head, the person of that night was you….. But when I woke up, Hillary was next to me instead.”

Before I could finish, Tanya suddenly reacted. “You’re talking about October 25, six years ago?”

Joel was stunned and nodded. “Yes.”

Tanya bit her lip. “That night, it was me…”

Joel was surprised.

Tanya’s expression was a little unnatural when he mentioned that night. “Later, when you were still sleeping in the morning, my mother sent me a message asking me to come home. She said she had something to tell me, so I came back…”

When he returned home, he realized it was a letter of acceptance from abroad.

Immediately afterward, he had pulled out a picture of Tanya and Joel sleeping together and handed it to her. He had told her, ‘I told you long ago that your identity is not suitable to be with Mr. Smith! Only the eldest daughter of the Joneses has the right to become Mrs. Smith. Mr. Smith is just playing games with you! Since you are my daughter, I remind you that you are not to be treated like a toy!’

At that moment, she was stunned to see the picture. She called Joel, but didn’t expect Hillary to answer the phone. “What are you doing? She’s still sleeping.”

Tanya was furious.

Two hours later, she called Joel, but his attitude was very cold.

She asked him, “What am I to you?”

He scoffed. “What am I to you? Tanya, we both know you’re not that important to me.”

At that moment, Tanya’s heart was in ashes as she left the country.

Joel was stunned. He thought hard and knew he had walked into a trap. “When I woke up and realized that the person next to me was Hillary, I was in shock. I wanted to look you up and explain everything, but I saw the application form for your study abroad on Hillary’s phone.”

He was silent for a moment before saying, “Hillary told me that all you did was use me to go abroad.”

He was young and impulsive at the time. Just as he was looking at the application, he received a call from Tanya.

However, he had not expected Tanya to question his position in his heart so confidently through a phone call.

He wanted to ask that question too.

Later, he watched helplessly as Tanya left the country without turning back. He believed Hillary even more and did not look for Tanya over the years.

Now that he thought about it….

It was obvious that he and Tanya had fallen for each other!!!!

Joel was momentarily angry – how could he be fooled so easily? However, he had not expected Hillary, then only in her twenties, to do something like that.

Tanya and Joel looked at each other.

After a moment, Tanya suddenly pushed him away and ran downstairs.

Joel knew what she was going to do, so he looked at Justin first and said slowly, “I’ll remember this favor.”

If it weren’t for Justin, Tanya would have been afraid Joel would be sad about the boy and wouldn’t have told him. But if Tanya hadn’t told him, he probably would never have guessed in his life that Mia was his and Tanya’s child.

After all, how was he to know that Tanya had given birth to a child for him?

Justin nodded and Joel followed him downstairs.

Sure enough, he could already hear the screams downstairs. He descended the stairs and saw Ian watching beside him. “Brat, did you bully the girl, why is she suddenly crying so miserably while hugging Mia?”

Joel looked at the mother and daughter who were hugging each other.

Tanya was crying so hard she couldn’t speak. Mia, for her part, was frightened by her appearance. He looked at her with wide eyes, but still reached out and stroked her back, feeling helpless.

Joel’s eyes turned red, too.

He stepped forward and said to Mia, “Mia, this is your mother.”

Mia was stunned for a moment before nodding. “I know. Miss Tanya will be my mother from now on.”

When Joel saw the girl’s ignorance, his heart ached even more.

He reached out and hugged Tanya and Mia. “No, she is the mother who gave birth to you! Your birth mother!”

Mia didn’t really understand this, but she still cried. “Mommy, don’t cry. Don’t cry…”

When she started crying, Tanya immediately stopped crying. She hugged Mia and tearfully said, “I’m not going to cry. Mia, don’t cry. I’m Mommy. Mommy loves you…”

She gently kissed Mia’s cheek.

Ian was confused.

That night, Tanya hugged Mia and fell asleep. Joel kept a worried watch on the couch in the bedroom. He could see Tanya suddenly wake up in the middle of the night and look at Mia for a while before hugging her tightly and going back to sleep….

It was the fear and trepidation of losing again what she had regained after so much hardship.

The next day, Joel was awakened by a soft knock on the door.

He carefully stepped out and heard the butler say, “Sir, Mr. Karl Moore is here!”.

Karl Moore?

Joel narrowed his eyes.

Even if he hadn’t come himself today, Joel was going to look for him!

Hillary had stolen his daughter from him. He had to pay the price.
