Chapter 8 We Don’t Want This Daddy
Kiki used to tell Jaden that when their mother got pregnant, it was the evening in Brass Park Hotel on June 8th, 2012. If Kieran had been there that night, Jaden could be sure that Kieran was their daddy.
Kieran was taken aback. He couldn’t help recalling how crazy and passionate that night five years ago was.
However, when Alisha approached him again, he had no such a feeling anymore.
He thought he was so crazy that night because he had been drugged.
“Ehn. I went to Brass Park Hotel that night.”
Kieran’s words almost made Jaden and Jayla hop up in excitement. Jayla wrapped her arms around Kieran’s neck and yelled, “Daddy! Daddy! I know you are my daddy!”
As she yelled, she pecked on Kieran’s handsome face.
Jaden tried hard to suppress his excitement, but it was written all over his face. He couldn’t help but walk to Kieran and hug him.
Kieran looked at the two kids in his arms. His heart was warm and soft, as if it didn’t belong to him.
His lips parted. He wanted to tell them that he had been to the hotel that night, but he wasn’t their daddy.
However, when looking into the expectant and joyful eyes of Jaden and Jayla, he didn’t have the heart to tell them.
Those words were way too cruel to the kids. After they met Seth, he would tell them the truth. Then it would be easier for them to accept it.
The hospital was not far away from Swedayle Garden. Although there was traffic on the way, it took them less than thirty minutes to arrive.
Seth had been waiting in the parking lot for a while. Seeing Kieran’s sportscar, he rushed over. His face, which looked seventy to eighty percent similar to Kieran’s, was full of confusion.Content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“Uncle Kieran, with who will I take…”
The car window was pressed down slowly. When he saw the twins in the car, Seth swallowed back the words on the tip of his tongue.
He wondered if Kieran wanted him to do the paternity test with these kids.
That boy looked like him indeed, but he thought that boy’s aura looked more like Kieran’s. He wondered if that boy was his or Kieran’s son.
Seth swallowed hard. When he was about to ask a question, Kieran said in a cold tone, “In the evening of June 8th, 2012, their mother was in Brass Park Hotel.”
Upon hearing his words, Seth felt so shocked as if his brain exploded. On the night when Kieran was drugged, Seth was also in Brass Park Hotel. He was drunk and had sex with a woman. When he woke up, that woman was gone.
All over the years, he had been looking for that woman. He had been admiring a girl secretly, so he didn’t plan to be responsible for that woman. However, since they had sex, Seth wanted to compensate her.
He didn’t expect that woman had given birth to two children for him.
After some fierce mental struggles, Seth said in a low voice, “We don’t need to do the paternity test. They are my children.”
Jaden and Jayla exchanged glances with each other. Was this man their daddy?
Seth didn’t want to speak to them, but he wanted to clarify it.
Even he had two children with that woman. He wouldn’t marry a woman that he didn’t love. He was willing to compensate their mother, but he would never give up the girl he admired the most.
After a moment of silence, he bent over and said to Jaden and Jayla, “Do you want to stay with your mother or with… Daddy? I’ll respect your opinion.”
Both Jaden and Jayla were brilliant. They understood what Seth meant. This daddy wouldn’t take responsibility for their mother.
Initially, they preferred Kieran more. Hence, their impressions of Seth became worse. He was an irresponsible man. They wouldn’t want him to be their daddy.
The kids were not in the mood to talk to Seth. Jaden pressed up the car window, “Da… Mr. Fitzgerald, could you please send us back home?”
Jaden looked up and glanced at the back of Kieran’s head secretly. How she wished Kieran to be their daddy!
Seth had dyed hair and looked playful. He didn’t look like a good man. Didn’t he just donate two sperms? Was it a good deal?
Mr. Fitzgerald…
Kieran felt a sharp pang in his chest somehow. He had heard Jaden call him Daddy earlier. Now, Jaden suddenly addressed him so politely. Kieran felt disappointed.
“Wait, sweethearts! Don’t go. I haven’t finished my words yet.”
Seth hurriedly pulled the door open and got in cheekily. “Sweethearts, you must think I’m irresponsible, right? I’m doing this for your mommy’s own good. I’ve already loved another woman. If I married your mommy, I would be truly irresponsible.
“Forget it. I don’t think you understand what I mean. Where does your mother live? I’ll talk to your mother instead.”
“Humph!” Jaden and Jayla turned to look away, ignoring Seth.
“You…” Seth felt a bit upset under their disdainful behavior. However, he was always cheeky. Soon, he put a bright smile on his playful face again.
“Sweethearts, I promise I’ll treat you well even I won’t marry your mother.”
“Humph!”
This time, Jaden and Jayla raised their chins higher. Jayla rolled her eyes proudly. “What nonsense are you talking about? You seem to look down upon my mommy. Let me tell you. My mommy has a lot of admirers. If they line up, the line will circle the Earth three times. My mother won’t like you instead.”
Seth felt so embarrassed. It seemed the kids disdained him.
He felt a bit frustrated because his children disliked him, so he encouraged himself. Even the whole world would blame him for doing it wrong. He wouldn’t give up the girl he had been admiring since childhood.
His heart had been fully occupied by Freya Stahler.
‘Sethy, I’ll protect you in the future,” Freya used to say to him.
Thinking about Freya’s proud face, Seth looked serious and affectionate. ‘Boss, when we were young, you always protected me. In the future, I’ll protect you,’ he thought to himself.
‘Boss, I’ll find you.’
Freya went to the supermarket for some ingredients, planning to cook for the kids in the evening.
A black Lamborghini was pulled over next to her when she entered the building.
The door was slowly opened. Jaden and Jayla hopped off from the car and pounced at Freya. “Mommy! Mommy!”
Kieran’s hands on the steering wheel slightly tightened. He hadn’t expected the kids’ mother to be her.
He felt somewhat upset.
Seeing Freya, Seth’s sunglasses dropped. When he returned to his senses, he rushed out of the sportscar and hugged Freya with the kids together tightly.
