Chapter 93 Wow! Daddy’s So Cool

How was he able to get his hands on surveillance footage from several years ago?

However, she had to admit that there was no questioning Mark’s capability.

Hence, Lyla fell silent.

“Why aren’t you talking?” Mark looked at her and asked.

Lyla frowned. “Mark Pattinson, even if we... did something before, that doesn’t mean that Hansel and Gretel are your children!” Lyla uttered. Hansel and Gretel were her everything. Not knowing what was going inside Mark’s head, she dared not admit to it.

By virtue of his ability, there was no way she could win if Mark were to fight for custody of the children.

Finally.

She relented!

“Lyla, you’re acknowledging it at last!”

Lyla pursed her lips. “I said it. Even if it was me, that doesn’t mean that Hansel and Gretel are your children!”

“Must you force me to do a DNA test!”

“Mark Pattinson!!”

It was Lyla’s turn to fly off the handle. Following an outcry, she gasped in pain due to the wounds on her body hurting from all the strain.

Since it was such a rare sight to see her angry, Mark was filled with an unspeakable sense of achievement.

“What? Are you afraid?”

“What are you really up to?” Lyla asked.

“I want you to admit to it!”

Lyla knew that she could no longer keep the matter under wraps.

It would only come to a more tragic end for her if Mark really took them to do a DNA test.

She paused her lips without saying a word.

There was no way she could ever admit to it!

“Okay, take a rest. I’ll go find them!” With that, Mark was about to take off.

F*ck!

Lyla wanted nothing more than to swear!

“MARK PATTINSON!” She shouted.

“Yes?” Mark slowly turned over and languidly raised his brow.

“I...” Lyla could not find the words.

“Are you admitting to it?” Mark probed.

Frowning, Lyla did not know where to start.

Observing her dilemma, Mark stared at her. “Lyla, I only went to know if they’re my children. Is that too much to ask?” While enquiring, Mark fixed his gaze on her with yearning eyes. There was an indescribable bitterness and helplessness within.

He would not be so persistent on the matter had Hansel not insisted on getting Lyla’s consent.

Without doing the DNA test, he made up his mind that they were his just like that.

However, the significance behind hearing the truth straight from Lyla’s mouth was different.

Lyla laid eyes on him, lost in his words and expression for a moment. Who said that Mark was unsuited to pull the sympathy card? Lyla could not find any words of denial right there and then!

She and Mark were, in fact, the type that toughened up against the strong but were clueless in the face of passive approaches.

“You don’t have to worry too much if your concern is that I’ll steal them away from you. I won’t do that. I initially thought that I’m on my own in this world but now I want to know if they’re my children...”

Mark began his path to partake in an inciting persona.

Lyla’s mind was at ease following his statement.

It had been on her mind that he would take them away from her upon finding out the truth. However, she was relieved by his assurance.

She took a glance at him before lowering her eyes. “You’re right. They’re your children...”

Finally!

She finally admitted to it!

Gazing at her, Mark’s lips curled into a peculiar smile.

With the smile appearing in sight, Lyla was struck by a sudden thought. She wondered if she had been taken for a ride.

“Lyla, you finally came clean!” Mark coldly smirked in utterance. His tone might be unpleasant but he was indeed a lot happier.

At least, he finally heard it from the horse’s mouth. It was sort of an acknowledgment, like a token to walk into the mother and children’s lives, changing his mood for the better!

Lyla frowned. “When did you find out?”

“The moment I saw Hansel!” Mark answered with certainty.

Lyla. “...”

As expected, it was too hard to feign ignorance after looking at Hansel’s face!

This very matter had been eating her up inside. Now that it had happened, she felt the weight lifted off her shoulders.

Mark said it himself that he would not steal them away from her. There was nothing to be afraid of if that was the case.

With that in mind, she left out a sigh of relief.

Seeing her like this, Mark could not hold his tongue. “Lyla, it was really a difficult thing to do to make you confess!” Mark grinned in a rather strange way, so peculiar that Lyla was left scratching her head.

She frowned while keeping to herself.

Who would have guessed that Mark would hurl the tiny USB drive into the trash can?

“You—”

“It’s a fake!” Mark retorted.

“What’s a fake...” Midway, Lyla fixed her gaze at him with eyes abruptly wide open.

“Did you lie to me earlier?”

“Would you have admitted to it if I didn’t lie to you?” Mark kept his cool the entire time as though lying to her was an ordinary thing to do.
