Chapter 8 You’re Not Dad’s Child
That night he spent with Alice had deeply hurt Natalia, though she’d been kind enough not to pursue it further or mention it again over the years. But if he told her now that Alice had given birth to a daughter after that night, he wasn’t sure Natalia could accept it
She was so fragile
After a moment of silence, Andres made up his mind. “I won’t acknowledge her.
His sons immediately brightened.
Marvin was practically jumping with joy. Then I’ll go tell her right now, so she’ll finally stop hoping! I can’t wait to see her face when she hears thic“
With that be turned and walked away.
Andres paused briefly, then said. Tll come too.”
His sons looked surprised but didn’t object, gladly agreeing.
Meanwhile, at the orphanage. Chloe finally finished drawing the greeting card for Andres.
Today was already the eighth day. She could finally give him the present she’d prepared!
Suddenly, someone shouted loudly from outside. “Chloe! Your dad is here for you!!!
She jumped excitedly from her chair and ran to the door.
From afar, she saw a familiar car parked nearby and someone standing at the orphanage gate.
It was Marvin. He impatiently scrolled through his brand–new iPhone. As he looked up. Chloe ran toward him, followed by a curious crowd of childrenL
They all wanted to see if Chloe really had a dad.
He frowned in disgust. They looked like a bunch of little pests gathering.
Seeing him. Chloe thought he shined brightly, and she stopped cautiously in front of him. “Hello.”
Her big, grape–like eyes blinked expectantly.
Marvin’s face softened slightly when he saw her.
He had to admit, compared to other kids her age, she was rather cute.
He spoke in a low voice, “The results are out”
Chloe nervously swallowed and nodded. “Yes”
“You’re not my dad’s daughter,” Marvin said bluntly, his eyes dark. “From now on, stop trying to claim any relationship with my father”
His words hit Chloe like a blow to the head, and she froze.
All her hopes shattered instantly, and she asked uncertainly, Tm not his child?”
That’s right, you’re not,” Marvin replied coldly. “Don’t tell people you have a dad anymore.”
The ich behind her burst into laughter, dramatically rolling on the ground, shouting, “Hahaha! Chloe doesn’t have a dad Chine dorn’t have a dad!”

Chapter B You’re Not Dad’s Child
“Chloe, your dad’s dead!”
Marvin snapped at them. “Your dad’s dead”
The kids paused, made silly faces, and ran away. “Our dads are already dead!”
He felt disgusted. Ihat good could possibly come out of a place like this? Chloe was no different from these children!
Chloe was still dazed, but one thought remained in her head. “Wait here, I have a gift for you.”
She ran back on her short legs, and Marvin frowned, watching her briefly before turning and getting into the car.
Inside, Andres and his other two sons silently watched Marvin.
He hesitated slightly. “Let’s go,
Chloe quickly rushed back to the gate holding the card, only to find the black car had already driven away.
She shouted, “Wait!““”
No response.
She squeezed through the gate and ran out, holding the card high. “Wait! Wait! Please wait for me!”
Finished
The car headed toward the corner, and Chloe chased after it, crying and shouting, “Don’t go! Please don’t
Ko!”
Marvin felt gloomy, and as he absentmindedly glanced back, he suddenly saw Chloe’s tiny figure trailing behind the car-
“Stop the car!”
