True Love Waits novel Chapter 445

"Hayden doesn't know, because...because..." Debbie stuttered, not knowing how to sound more convincing. She was not only flustered, but also drunk to boot.

Too drunk to make up a story, she hemmed and hawed, but a fit of dizziness came over her.

Upon seeing her reaction, Carlos chuckled and said, "Let me tell you why, Evelyn's mom."

"Er... Okay."

"It's because Evelyn is not Hayden's daughter. Her toes, teeth and ears look exactly like mine when I was little. So again, who's the father?" Evelyn looked a lot like her mom. She could be Debbie's "Mini-Me."

But if you looked closer, you'd see Evelyn's toes looked identical to Carlos' toes when he was younger.

Carlos hadn't noticed this before. When he saw the DNA test report and knew she was his daughter, he felt cheated. She didn't look like him at all. He even studied each part of Evelyn carefully, and compared her and himself through a mirror.

Not only so, but he also sent photos to Miranda and asked her whether they looked like each other.

After receiving the text, Miranda picked up the phone and called him back immediately.

Before he could say anything, Miranda told him, "Evelyn's definitely your daughter. Superficially, she looks like Debbie. But just look at the toes, the teeth, even the ears. Thanks to James, you haven't been able to see your daughter for two years. That has to hurt."

'It does. Debbie must have suffered a lot.

But at least she's raising her right, ' Carlos thought, feeling both frustrated and pitiful.

Upon hearing Carlos' words, Debbie tried to deny it. "Yeah, right."

Carlos sneered, "Why are you still being so stubborn? What are you afraid of? Think I'll take Evelyn away?"

He was right. That was the money shot. She was afraid that he would take her daughter away from her and that she would never see her again.

Decker sprung up, landing on the hood of Carlos' car with his rear end. He settled himself, lit a cigarette, and watched as they got into it.

Carlos let Debbie go, opened the car door, took out a file and passed it to her. "Facts speak louder than words," he said calmly.

'DNA test report? Jerk! When did he do this?'

Debbie thought to herself, grinding her teeth.

She pouted her lips and asked, "So what tipped you off?"

Actually Carlos had begun to figure it out a long time ago. But back then, he trusted James a lot. He even believed Hayden when the man claimed Piggy as his own. Why would he have any reason to believe otherwise? Until that night... "Do you remember the night we spent on that island?"

She had told him that Evelyn's father was neither Hayden nor Ivan.

He trusted her, so the only explanation was both Hayden and James had lied.

"Now that you know, what's next?" Debbie asked, waiting for his answer.

Without hesitation, Carlos answered, "You divorce Ivan and marry me. I don't want Evelyn calling anyone else 'Daddy.'"

"And if I don't?"
