Chapter 279: Chapter 279
Estelle Sterling awkwardly chuckled.
After a dry laugh, he nervously said, "Of course it’s the same as everyone else, why?"
If he said it out loud, that would be a big deal, Alaric Faulkner might connect the dots.
Alaric’s eyes became stern, tapping the table, he said, "Tell the truth."
"I’m telling the truth...," Estelle sneaked a glance at him, seeing that there was no way to hide it, he sighed.
"Alright, RHnull blood type."
With those words, the atmosphere in the study became instantly tense, and Alaric’s pupils suddenly contracted.
His suspicions were correct, Eleanor Sterling had taken Jasper Faulkner’s blood for testing, she suspected Estelle was Jasper’s son.
Everything that happened before was finally explained.
No wonder she was always focused on Jasper.
Estelle saw Alaric’s face full of gloom and immediately said, "Uncle Faulkner, you don’t have to worry, although you’re not my father.
But I’ve already considered you as my dad, as long as you keep trying, one day Sister Eleanor will be moved by you."
Alaric’s blank mind gradually began to respond; he went over Estelle’s words repeatedly.
Soon, he found the key point.
"How do you know I’m not your father?"
Their entire family has the RHnull blood type. Is it impossible that I’m Estelle’s father?
This idea popped up, and Alaric gave a self-deprecating smile.
He liked Eleanor so much that he could brainwash himself.
The only time he was with a woman was with Faye Sterling, no one else. How could he be related to Eleanor?
Estelle looked up, his eyes filled with confusion.
"Didn’t you know that Sister Eleanor took your specimen for testing?"
This news was even more shocking than when Estelle mentioned his blood type earlier.
Alaric was stunned for several seconds, he opened his mouth in a hoarse voice, "You... you’re saying Eleanor once took my specimen for testing?"
Seeing Alaric asking this way, Estelle knew he probably didn’t know yet.
He immediately covered his mouth.
So what exactly did Alaric find out!
Alaric felt extremely awful, his face was as ominous as a storm about to come.
Eleanor had already suspected, and had gone to do a paternity test without his knowledge.
The result need not be asked.
Now Eleanor swapped to Jasper for testing, though the result is unknown, Alaric still felt somewhat uneasy at heart.
If the test result matches, then there would be an insurmountable taboo between them. Googlᴇ search ɴovelfire.net
The eldest sister-in-law and brother-in-law, sister-in-law and elder brother-in-law...
That’s really messed up!
Estelle half-kneeled, propping himself on the desk, looking at Alaric.
"Uncle Faulkner, back then Sister Eleanor gave birth to me and my sister, but my younger sister died early.
No matter whose son I am, as long as we pretend not to know, we can continue as we are now."
The plugging-the-ears-and-stealing-the-bell theory that Caleb proposed before, Estelle was now applying it quite well.
Alaric closed his eyes slightly, "Too late, she’s already taken Jasper’s blood for the test."
He sighed deeply, feeling a sense of helplessness rising from his heart.
Before, Eleanor cared about Faye, and it was hard enough for him to make her waver a little.
But now another abyss lay in front of them, how could they possibly cross it?
He knew about Jasper’s incident with a woman seven years ago. Jasper had been looking for her ever since but never found her.
Who would have thought that woman turned out to be Eleanor!
