Mommy, Where Is Daddy? The Forsaken Daughter's Return novel Chapter 65

Envy flashed through Annie's eyes, seeing how Samantha's little girl easily won the heart of her adoptive father.

It irked her how Samantha could produce such an adorable young child despite having slept with an ugly old man.

Just when she thought her jealousy was at its peak, Ethan walked in, holding a boy that looked exactly like him; A mini version of the great Ethan Wright!

Annie Davis found herself gawking at Ethan and the little boy. She could vaguely hear the introductions spoken by Samantha, merely focusing on the resemblance of the two.

Finally, her soon-to-be mother-in-law broke the silence and asked, "Why - why does... your son look so much like Ethan?"

"Yes, such a coincidence," her adoptive father, Winfield Davis remarked, also looking back and forth at Ethan and the little boy.

"Um... no, actually father... It is not," Annie heard Samantha answer, practically flushing as she said the words.

It made Annie frown and probe, "What? What do you mean exactly, Sam?"

"Let me answer that for Sam," Amanda interfered, looking straight into Annie's eyes.

Annie could already feel her heart throbbing, sensing that something was about to go down, one that she did not like. She heard Ethan's mother reasoned, "Because, it was my son whom Sam shared that night with during the wedding, almost six years ago."

"My son, Ethan Wright, was the ugly old man - the same man inside the room where you lured Samantha to that fateful night!" Explained Amanda Wright, nearly shouting into Annie's face.

Annie easily paled at the revelation. She heard Amanda give her words of happiness, announcing how she became a grandmother unexpectedly.

While Amanda Wright spoke in delight, Annie's head was lost in confusion. Her mind went back to the time when she bumped into Lance Carter, utterly drunk during his wedding night.

More crease formed on her forehead as she recalled how she aided Lance to look for the key card, apparently belonging to his 'ugly uncle.' At least, that was what she was told.

Back then, she did not realize how Lance may have simply made-up words, especially being drunk, but when she found the key card, she grabbed it, quickly formulating a plan to lure Samantha into the same room.

Resentment filled her heart, seeing the smile and glow on Samantha's face! She thought, 'How could she be so fucking lucky?!'

Annie could not accept it! How could she? Did she deliver Samantha to the most eligible bachelor in the city?!

Her vision darkened, and she easily lost her senses!

Clenching her hand against her utensils, Annie threw to the floor everything that was within her hold.

The smashing sounds of her plate could easily be heard across the room before she screamed, "No!!!!! No way!!!!!! That - that can't be!!!" I perfectly recall how Lance said it was an ugly old uncle of his using the room! It can't be Ethan Wright! It can't be!!!"

Annie's face was as red as a tomato, raging in anger as she yelled.

It took about a few seconds for her to realize how she had revealed herself, noticing the silence around the room.

When her adoptive father stood up from his seat, glaring at her. She took a few steps back, looking around the eyes that were staring at her.

Annie's lips trembled as she tried to explain herself, "It's not - it's not what you think. I - I had a word with Lance a few years back. It - it just popped into my head since everyone was accounted for except - "

"You can make as many excuses as you like, but the truth will prevail." Ethan directed his son to Amanda and requested to bring the children elsewhere. He knew their discussion was about to become heated.

Only after Amanda left with Matilda and the kids to another area of the mansion, did Ethan resume his speech. He turned to the fuming general and told, "Sam and I were both drunk and our drinks were spiked. Me by Lance and Sam by her own stepsister, Annie."

"That night was not supposed to happen, if not for Annie taking Sam into my room. It was because Annie had intentions to harm Sam, that she purposely brought her to a stranger's room while being intoxicated," added Ethan.

"Lies! Lies! You have no proof of that?!" Annie countered, pointing a finger at Ethan.
