Chapter 248: You’re Not Fit To Get The Paternity Test Done!
Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Hearing Jordan’s words, the smug Cayden immediately blushed with embarrassment!
The guards on the side, on the other hand, were bewildered by what they had just heard.
‘The babies’ father?’
‘What babies’ father?’
Cayden didn’t want the irrelevant people to learn of the secret between them, so he reached his hand out and said, “Come on in. Save the gifts. We don’t need them.”
Hence, Cayden took the lead to push the door and entered.
Jordan followed closely behind.
The VIP ward was spacious and well-equipped. It was morning, and the curtains were open, so the rays of sunlight shone in through the window, providing ample light for the room.
When Cayden and Jordan entered, Hailey sat by the bed and played with the twins lying in their crib.
Seeing that the two of them had entered, Hailey immediately said with a smile, “My dear babies, Daddy is here to see you.”
‘Daddy!’
Jordan had a warm and fuzzy feeling in his heart when he heard those words.
Once again, it was that somewhat surreal feeling!
‘Am I already a father now?’
He walked over gleefully, only to find that Cayden was a step ahead of him and had already reached Hailey and the babies.
After Cayden went over, Hailey continued to say to the newborns, “My dear babies, look at Daddy. Do you miss Daddy?”
Jordan was overwhelmed with disappointment, and his spirits were dampened. Hailey wasn’t referring to him but Cayden!
“Atrocious!”
Jordan was so jealous that he walked over and pushed Cayden to the ground. He said, “I’m their father!”
Hailey chided Jordan resentfully, “What are you doing? What if you scare them?”
However, the newborns, who were only a week old, didn’t cry or get scared when they saw Jordan pushing Cayden, as well as the furious expression on Jordan’s face.
They looked straight at Jordan with warmth in their eyes!
In an instant, Jordan suddenly felt that the look in his eyes was very familiar because it seemed that the daughter of that mysterious woman at the café had also looked at him in a similar manner.
When he saw the look in their eyes, Jordan’s heart immediately softened.
A smile graced his face immediately, and he looked at the infants. “Babies… Daddy has come to see you.”
Now, it was Cayden, who had fallen to the ground, who was displeased!
Cayden got up from the ground and said, “I think we need to talk about the matter of the children’s father!”
Of course, Jordan was willing to talk to him because that was precisely what he was here for!
Cayden locked the door of the room from the inside to prevent others from entering. He then walked over and said, “My grandfather really likes them, and he has already named them.”
“The girl will be named Leah, and the boy will be named Luke.”
Jordan looked at the two little infants and muttered, “Leah Steele and Luke Steele. Not bad. I like these names.”
Cayden was so enraged that he wanted to slam his hand against the table. “What do you mean Leah Steele and Luke Steele!?! It should be Leah Huxley and Luke Huxley!”
On the other hand, Hailey chimed in, “Leah Camden and Luke Camden sound better!”
All three of them were fighting over the children’s last names!
Cayden said to Hailey, “Hailey, you’re now my wife, and we’re a prestigious family. It really doesn’t seem appropriate for our children to take their mother’s last name. We’d better stick to Huxley.”
Hailey felt that Cayden did not love her enough. Since he wasn’t the biological father of her children, they might not inherit the Huxleys’ assets in the future, so she wanted the children to take her last name.
Hailey compromised and said, “The boy can take your last name, but the girl has to take mine. Moreover, you have to make sure that the boy can be entitled to a share of the inheritance!”
Cayden said, “Yes, the boy shall take the last name Huxley while the girl shall take the last name Cayden.”
Hailey nodded and agreed, “Okay.”
‘Okay, my foot!’ Jordan thought.
He was so furious that he felt an urge to flip the table. If not for the two babies, he would have lost his temper and hit the roof!
Jordan said furiously, “I’m the father of the children. If they take your last names respectively, what about me?”
Hailey was completely dismissive of Jordan, and she said disdainfully, “Jordan, don’t forget, you were my live-in husband and you can ask around, which live-in husband is fit to have their children take on their last name? The children of live-in husbands all take the last name of their mothers.”
Cayden laughed and chimed in from the side, “That’s right, that’s right.”
Jordan said angrily, “I was married to you for three years as your live-in husband, and if we had children from the time we got married, I’d have no objections to them taking your last name!”
“But you never allowed me to get intimate with you in those three years, and we didn’t have any kids.”
“We both really wanted children only when I revealed myself to be a Steele. At that time, all the household expenses, including the car, house, and your families’ needs, were taken care of by me! I had provided for you guys!”
“At that time, I was no longer your live-in husband! So, of course, I’d have the right to make them take my last name!”
Jordan knew that if he didn’t hide his identity, Hailey wouldn’t be arguing with him about the children’s last names.
Hailey decided to let her kids take her last name only because she thought Jordan was penniless now.
Hailey said, “Yes, you have every right to make that request, but we’re divorced now, and we have our respective partners. If the babies take your last name, how are we supposed to explain that they don’t have the same last names as us when we bring them out or enroll them in school in the future? What if others ask about it? How awkward would that be for them?”
“You don’t have to worry about that problem!” Jordan said.
Reason being the children won’t even attend school like regular kids. Instead, they will receive professional training from the Steeles!
Cayden said condescendingly, “Jordan, what’s the point of letting the children take your surname? Are they going to inherit the billions of dollars worth of assets belonging to the Steeles or what ?”
“If they take my last name, I can guarantee that they will live in the lap of luxury for the rest of their lives!”
Hailey was enticed and tempted after hearing that. “Look how magnanimous Cayden is. He’s willing to raise your children and even give your son his assets! You should be thanking him!”
Jordan humphed coldly and thought, ‘Will Cayden really be willing to give his assets to my son?’
Jordan didn’t believe he would be so nice!
Only the silly woman Hailey would believe him!
Jordan couldn’t outargue them. After a momentary pause, he said, “At the end of the day, we still can’t reach a consensus on this matter.”
“There’s another reason that I’m here today. It won’t be too late to talk about the matter regarding their last name after I’m done with this.”
Hailey looked at Jordan and asked, “What is it?”
Jordan glanced at the infants and said, “I want to do a paternity test with the children.”
“No!” Hailey refuted immediately!
Hailey held the infant’s hands heartbrokenly and said, “Jordan, you’re so cruel. The babies have just been born and want to draw their blood and pull their hair. I won’t let you hurt my children!”
Feeling helpless, Jordan explained, “There is no need to draw blood or pull out their hair. We just need to do an oral swab by rubbing their inner cheeks a few times with a cotton swab to collect their samples.”
“No! That sounds terrifying to me! I will never let you do a paternity test! You don’t deserve to do a paternity test with them either!” Hailey once again refuted vehemently.
