Claire nodded, “Benjamin, let me think about it.”

Think about it?

A look of disgust flashed through Benjamin Martin’s eyes.

This bitch Claire, she’s never really trusted him.

Benjamin knew he had to back down for now, he couldn’t push any further. He laughed and said, “Claire, I was just making a suggestion, don’t feel pressured. What I really hope for is your happiness.”

“Hmm,” Claire looked at Benjamin. “Benjamin, you’re right, a child’s upbringing can’t lack love and companionship. I’ll try to spend more time with our child in the future.”

Not hearing Claire mention anything about the company, Benjamin felt very uncomfortable.

Claire really doesn’t have the slightest comprehension of being a woman.

If it were anybody else, perhaps they would have already let him into the company.

And Claire?

As the words dropped, Claire continued, “The company’s affairs, things are not as simple as you imagine. Benjamin, I don’t want you to work so hard.”

“Yes, Claire, I understand,” Benjamin pursued. “But as a man, Claire, I’d rather cover you from wind and rain, rather than hiding behind a woman.”

“It’s fine.” Claire hugged Benjamin tightly. “I don’t mind.”

These words stabbed deep into Benjamin’s heart.

Like a splinter.

It made Benjamin feel very uncomfortable.

Having listened to Benjamin’s advice, Claire didn’t go to work the next day, but stayed at home with the maternity matron to take care of the child.

The maternity matron, not knowing about their situation, held the baby, “The baby really resembles the Mister.”

Such a simple sentence but made Claire frown slightly.

This child has no blood relation with Benjamin, how could he look like Benjamin?

Could it be

Mrs. Martin knew that if she contradicted the maternity matron, it would surely arouse Claire’s suspicion, so she smoothly replied: “Of course, this is the baby of our Martin house, who else should he look like if not my son? Haven’t you noticed that the child also looks like my daughter-in-law?”

The maternity matron didn’t see any resemblance between the baby and Claire, but she still nodded and smiled, “The old lady is right, the baby not only looks like his dad but also his mom! Look how big his eyes are, like grapes.”

Hearing this, Claire breathed a sigh of relief, she knew that the maternity matron’s words were just a way of cozying up to them.

Over the course of a single day, Claire learned how to hold the baby, how to feed him milk, how to change his diapers.

It was her first time realizing that raising a child could be so difficult.

When Benjamin returned home, he asked, “So, Claire, was it hard taking care of the baby today?”

“It’s okay,” Claire looked at the sleeping baby in the crib, her eyes emanating maternal love, “I was just thinking, it would be nice if the baby were mine.”

“As long as we don’t say it, he’ll be our own son.” freeweɓnovel.cøm

“Mm.” Claire nodded.

After a day of being together, she had completely accepted this child.

When Cynthia Wilkins learned from her friends about Claire and Benjamin adopting a child, she was so mad that she immediately went to Viola Thompson to complain.

Although there was a generation gap between her and Viola Thompson, there was no obstacle in their communication.

It was all natural like they were peers.

Hearing this, Viola Thompson frowned slightly, “They adopted a child so quickly?”

“Exactly!” Cynthia continued: “Claire is such an idiot! Even though I saw it with my own eyes, she still doesn’t believe!”

“Aunt Sherman, maybe, you may want to remind Madam Matins and suggest her to take a paternity test.”

“Paternity test?”

Cynthia looked confused.

Claire didn’t even have a child, so who would she take a paternity test with?

Viola gently nodded, her lips slightly open, “Think about it, why doesn’t Benjamin want Claire to get pregnant? It’s very likely that he has a child with his mistress, and the child they adopted could very well be Benjamin and the mistress’s illegitimate child.”

Viola’s words suddenly enlightened Cynthia.

“Viola, you’re absolutely right!” Cynthia continued: “This Benjamin is such a scumbag! He audaciously brought the mistress’s baby back home for Claire to raise! Isn’t this an intentional insult?”

Upon saying these words, Cynthia immediately stood up, “Viola, I’m not going to chat anymore, I need to go remind your Aunt Claire.”

She and Claire had been friends for many years after all.

Although Claire had turned her back on Cynthia over a man, she couldn’t just stand by and watch while Benjamin deceived Claire.

She couldn’t do such a thing.

Cynthia went straight to the Phils family’s house.

As soon as she walked in, she saw Claire holding a child basking in the sun in the courtyard.

At a glance, it was such a beautiful image.

However, whenever Cynthia thought about the possibility of the baby being the offspring of her mistress, she was instantly filled with anger.

Upon seeing Cynthia, Claire didn’t want to entertain her.

She knew.

Cynthia must have come to sow discord.

“Claire.”

Cynthia was the first to speak.

Claire, holding the baby, hesitated for a few seconds, walked up to Cynthia and asked, “What is it? Are you here again to stir up trouble? Cynthia, when can you calm down and let us live our life in peace?”

This remark directly ignited the anger in Cynthia’s heart, “Claire, as a friend, I’m warning you one last time, you better take this child, go and have a paternity test with Benjamin!”

Having said this, Cynthia turned around and left.

Claire stood in the same place, slightly frowning.

What’s gotten into Cynthia?

But just then, Claire suddenly remembered the maternity matron’s words.

She said the baby’s eyes looked a lot like Benjamin’s.

In fact, upon closer look, indeed the baby’s eyes and Benjamin’s eyes were both almond-shaped.

Could it be

Claire held the baby back into the room, and after considerable deliberation, she plucked a strand of hair from the baby’s head.

The moment she plucked it, the baby cried out in pain.

Claire immediately comforted the baby with a milk bottle.

She did this in order to prove Benjamin’s innocence.

If the paternity test came out fine, she had to confront Cynthia!

Then, Claire went into their bedroom to get a strand of Benjamin’s hair.

The result of the paternity test did not come out immediately.

Three days later.

Claire went to the hospital, when she saw the paternity test result, she was stunned as if struck by lightning, her blood ran cold.

Because the conclusion clearly stated.

Parent-child relationship confirmed!
