Chapter 262 Uncovering the Truth

Kaia thought she could just sit back and wait for the results to roll in, but then, a peculiar client walked into her

world.

When she spotted the exotic-looking foreigner in the reception room, she froze for a moment.

Each day of Kaia’s life unfolded like a new act in an endless play, each scene more tic than the last.

“Hello, I'm Tony Haywood,” he said with a disarming smile, his accent crisp yet warm.

“I had a short relationship with someone back in the States,” he said, his jaw tightening. “She had my child and

never told me. She’s American, and | need to know what rights | have to my own child.”

Kaia cleared her throat, steadying herself to sound professional. “So, you two aren’t married, right?”

Tony's eyes sparkled with a mix of frustration and innocence, like he was the one wronged in this messy .

“Exactly! I'm single, but she’s married. And her husband thinks the kid is his!

“I confronted her about it, and she acted like | was a complete stranger! Can you believe the nerve?” His voice

rose, indignation spilling over.

Kaia also felt that was pretty outrageous, though she wasn’t entirely shocked.

Luna's talent for chaos rivaled the most tic of soap operas.

Kaia leaned back, her mind already piecing things together. This situation seemed so clear-cut it barely needed a

paternity test to confirm.

“Mr. Haywood, how old is the child?” she asked, slipping into her routine questions.

“Not even a year old yet,” Tony replied, his shoulders slumping slightly.

“Under U.S. law,” Kaia explained with professional precision, “courts generally favor maternal custody for

children under two, barring any serious concerns.’

“What kind of concerns?” Tony leaned forward, tension evident

in his voice.

“The court would consider intervening if there's evidence of the mother’s unfitness-serious illness, neglect, or

circumstances that endanger the child's well-being.”

She paused, then added with a calm smile, “But there's no rush. You could wait until the child turns two and file

for custody

then.”

Tony's face fell, disappointment etched into every line.

That evening, Kaia spilled the whole story to Lucien over dinner, her eyes glinting with amusement.

“Lucien, your family’s could fill a .”

Lucien shot her a sidelong glance, his lips twitching into a half-smile. “Sweetheart, you and | are family now.

That mess belongs to them. Don’t get it twisted.”

Kaia chuckled, swirling her wineglass, “Fair enough. But tomorrow, grab shair for Alden’s paternity test.

Once the results are in, it'll all be crystal clear.”

Lucien nodded, his expression unreadable. “Got it.”

That night, Lucien was particularly... attentive in bed, his touch slow and deliberate against her skin.

As Kaia curled up beside him, still catching her breath, he whispered softly in her ear, “Sweetheart, I'll never

cheat on

you.”

Kaia, too tired to engage, swatted his hand playfully. “Let go. | need a shower. I'm all sticky.”

Lucien pressed a soft kiss to her shoulder, his lips warm and teasing as he lingered.

Luna, meanwhile, had been on edge for days, a gnawing unease twisting in her gut like a warning she couldn't

ignore.

After her afternoon nap, she wandered downstairs and froze. The new nanny was cradling Nicholas while Allen

looked on, and Lucien hovered nearby, reaching out as if to pick up the baby.

Her heart lurched.

“Uncle Lucien! What are you doing?”

Luna’s voice was sharp as she thundered down the stairs, snatching Nicholas into her arms.

Lucien’s face darkened, irritation flashing in his eyes. “Luna, what's your deal?”

“You think I'd hurt the kid or something?” he snapped, his tone laced with offense.

Allen frowned, his voice stern. “Luna, Lucien is your uncle. You're being paranoid.”

Luna’s cheeks flushed as the room’s disapproval settled over

She bit her lip, forcing an awkward smile. “Uncle Lucien, | didn’t mean it that way. It’s just that you might not be

used to holding babies. And since Nic’s been under the weather, I'm worried about him being passed around too

much-you know, germs and all.”

Lucien’s eyes narrowed, a cool edge to his voice. “Oh, so you think I'm carrying svirus, is that it?”

Her defensiveness clearly screamed guilt.

Lucien backed off to avoid tipping her off further. “Forget it. I'm not exactly interested in holding kids anyway. If

he wasn’t Alden’s son, | wouldn't bother. It’s not like | make a habit of holding other people’s babies.”

Luna’s heart stuttered at his words, a chill creeping up her spine. There was something in his tone, a hidden

meaning that felt like a jab.

“Uncle Lucien...” she started, but he waved her off dismissively.

“Dad, let's head upstairs,” Lucien said to Allen, his voice clipped as he turned away.

His cold indifference hit Luna like a slap, leaving her second-guessing herself.

Something was coming, and she could feel it.

That night, Kaia draped her arms around Lucien’s neck, her voice playful. “Honey, did you get the sample?”

Lucien smirked, his brow arching with confidence. “Of course. It’s already on its way to the lab. Results in two

days.”

“Should we show them to Allen first?” Kaia asked, her mind already racing with the fallout.

Kaia didn’t think much of it at the time, brushing it off as a quirk of the moment.

But that evening, Lucien’s call came, his voice tight with

urgency.

“We need to head back to the Graves Manor tonight.”

“What's wrong?” Kaia asked, her stomach twisting.

She'd been looking forward to the unfolding once the paternity results were in.

Surely it was too soon to expose that news today.

“Luna and her son have been kidnapped.”
