Chapter 93

Author: Chronos
After a while, Eileen returned to find Adriana.

"Francesco wants me to take you over," Eileen said.

Adriana happened to be alone, and unease churned in her chest.

She followed Eileen down the long corridor into the room opposite.

Compared to the quiet chatter of the previous room, this one was loud and chaotic, the air thick with the acrid sting of nicotine and alcohol.

"Where's Francesco?" Adriana asked, but Eileen's figure had already disappeared behind her.

A bad premonition rose in her

    Adriana ignored Francesco all the time now."Grandpa asked me to bring the children their New Year's money. It's his goodwill. Please accept it."He took out two huge envelopes containing gold bars and held them out to Adriana.She did not take them. Instead, she smiled faintly."I appreciate Grandpa's kindness, but the children are still too young. They can't handle such a heavy gift."Chris let out a cold laugh."Mr. Este, if you truly wanted to give the kids money as a New Year's gift, a few hundred dollars would be enough. After all, our two families aren't particularly close. Giving so much at once might make people think the Slater family is so poor that the Stanleys came here to give charity."Francesco put away the gold-bar filled envelopes and took out two ordinary money envelopes instead. He handed them to Adriana again."Its Grandpa's sincerity. If you really don't want them, you can return them to Grandpa next time you see him."He placed the envelopes on the coffe

    Francesco's heart stopped. With stiff movements, he took the paternity test report from the staff member.He skipped straight to the conclusion at the bottom.The moment he saw the result, his mind went blank, as if he had been struck hard.[Probability of paternity: 0.00%. The tested father's sample alleles do not comply with Mendelian inheritance patterns with the child's sample.]There had to be a mistake. How could Adriana's children not be his?Perhaps the hair samples did not belong to those two children.Something must have gone wrong.Other than him, Adriana absolutely would not have another man.He tore the test report into pieces and threw them into the trash.The next day, he asked Bianca to accompany him to the Slater family estate.On the way, Bianca reminded him, "Cesco, Adriana said she doesn't want to see you. Just drop me off at the entrance and go home."Francesco's grip on the steering wheel tightened slightly."Chris is there too. I don't feel comfortabl

    "Mm, I really like it. Adriana gave it to me. Don't forget to buy a new one and return it to Maeve for me."As soon as Bianca finished speaking, Francesco took the stuffed toy from her.Holding the toy, he searched through it carefully until he found a short strand of a child's hair."Give it back to me. Don't damage it." Bianca snatched the toy back.Francesco carefully preserved the strand of hair.Whether the child was his or not, he would find out once they returned to Heatherton City and conducted a paternity test."Bianca, go to bed early. We're returning to Heatherton City tomorrow."Bianca replied with an "oh," but the moment she turned around, a victorious smile spread across her face.Francesco had fallen for it again. Adriana was truly amazing.The next day, the highway reopened, but the vehicles returning to Heatherton City filled the toll booths until traffic was completely jammed.The nanny asked anxiously, "Are we not going to be able to leave today?"Adriana

    Adriana frowned.Given Francesco's personality, even if he suspected the drawings were fake, he wouldn't directly question Bianca. He would find a more shameless way to coax the truth out of her.Adriana: [You've seen the twins before. You wouldn't draw them wrong. He probably just doesn't believe you. Ignore him.]Francesco's lips curved slightly.If Adriana had really heard that Bianca showed him the children's drawings, she definitely wouldn't have reacted this way. With her personality, she would have already started scolding him by now.Bianca: [He asked me to get a photo from you. What should I do?]Adriana rolled her eyes. Such an obvious attempt to cover something up.Adriana: [Tell him I never share the babies' photos with anyone.]A classic case of trying too hard to hide the truth.Francesco's expression darkened. The drawings really were fake. And Bianca had actually learned how to lie.Bianca: [Can you send me one? I won't show Cesco.]Adriana's patience finally

    Bianca gripped the paintbrush and glanced at the suffering Grandpa Scott."Cesco, go outside. No peeking."Francesco silently left the room and leaned against the wall, lighting a cigarette. His shoulders sagged, as if something heavy was pressing down on him.After finishing two cigarettes, he had just pulled out a third when a voice called from inside."Francesco, come in."Grandpa Scott held the torn pieces of the drawing paper in his hand and threw them into the trash."I'm going to take a nap. I'm exhausted."Bianca hugged her drawing supplies and walked back to her room.After hearing the door close, Francesco's Adam's apple moved slightly.When he spoke, his voice was low and hoarse."What do they look like?""See for yourself."Grandpa Scott opened his phone gallery.On the screen was a secretly photographed image of the drawing.Bianca was good at drawing, and her skills were impressive. The two babies she had drawn looked adorable.Grandpa Scott sighed in disap

    Francesco glanced at the distracted Adriana and spoke up."Grandpa, let's go back and let them rest.""Alright. We're staying nearby. Adriana, come visit whenever you have time."A trace of disappointment flashed in Grandpa Scott's eyes as he stood and walked outside.Bianca waved at Adriana and Bella."Remember to come find me and play sometime."Adriana walked them to the door and watched as they disappeared into the distance.Something fell from the sky. A chill touched her face. It was snowing again.Inside the departing car, Francesco sat in the back seat, staring aimlessly out the window.Facing the current Adriana, he was completely helpless."Cesco, the houses here are so beautiful."Bianca looked out the window and sighed.This was a villa district, and rows of detached houses passed by outside.Francesco leaned lazily against the leather seat."Mm."Their residence here was less than two kilometers from the Moss family's villa, so they arrived quickly.He got

    Seeing the wicked glint at the corner of Francesco's eyes, a sense of foreboding rose in Adriana's chest.She lifted the binoculars. The moment the cross-river bridge came into view, she saw a figure climb over the unguarded end of the bridge and plunge into the river below.Even from a distance,

    Dean's words struck Joan right where it hurt. She flung the binoculars in her hand to the floor."It's only been one day and two nights, and they already found her. You've disappointed me."Dean stubbed out his cigar and fixed her with a serious look. "Joan, don't tell me you were planning to use

    Chris frowned, eyes flicking between Adriana, Oliver on her left, and Francesco on her right.Oliver hurriedly explained, "Mr. Este is my guest. We're collaborating on a project."He had long sensed a tension between Chris and Francesco. It seemed the feeling was mutual—Francesco didn't look favor

    Grandma Rosie had once told Adriana she dreamed of Adriana's parents, Roger and Samantha, imploring her to take care of Adriana. To be entrusted is to be faithful. Adriana's sense of responsibility toward Chris likely stemmed from the influence of Grandma Rosie throughout her childhood.She crouc
