Chapter 425
“Excuse me, what exactly is your relationship with my biological mother? Why did you pick me up from the hospital for my mother back then?”
Arnold’s face stiffened, staring at her in shock, “What on earth do you know?”
“Well, I know you’re not my real father”
No wonder Ellinor had been calling him Mr. Arnold recently Arnold’s eyes flickered unnaturally “Rubbish! What nonsense are you talking about? You are my daughter! Ellinor, even though you’ve married into a wealthy family now, you’re not trying to cut me off completely, even denying our blood relationship, are you?”
Ellinor remained calm, “Sorry, Mr. Arnold, I’ve had a paternity test, there’s no blood relationship between us at all, you can’t fool me.”
Arnold was taken aback, he never expected her to pull this one.
“You secretly had a paternity test!”
Ellinor crossed her arms. “Not specifically, just when you and Sheila had your paternity test, I had one with you too.”
Upon hearing this, Arnold knew he couldn’t cover it up any longer. He gritted his teeth and said, “So what if we’re not blood–related? I raised you, I am your father!”
Ellinor laughed. “Did you raise me? I don’t recall that.”
Arnold was left speechless, he indeed hadn’t taken good care of this daughter he brought home from outside. He had her raised in the countryside and only let her come back when she got into university
Moreover, Ellinor went to university on a full scholarship, and not a penny of his money was spent.
Ellinor wasn’t hung up on these things, she didn’t come today to pursue Arnold’s parenting issues.
“Alright! Let’s talk about my mother! Mr. Arnold, I hope you can tell me everything about my mother”
Arnold seemed very reluctant to bring up Ellinor’s mother, he frowned and said seriously, “What’s there to tell? It’s adult stuff, you’re just a kid, there’s no need to know too, much!
“I have a right to know about my mother!”
Arnold was dismissive. “Even if you have the right to know, I’ve long forgotten those people and things in the past, there’s nothing I can tell you!”
“All forgotten, huh?” Ellinor was not in a hurry, she slowly stood up. “Well then, since you’re not willing to say more, I’ll take my leave, along with the wedding gifts from the Blanchet family!”
Arnold was a bit panicked, “Wait”
Ellinor stopped, turned around and looked at him, “What? Mr. Arnold, did you remember something?”
Arnold glared at Ellinor, saying grumpily. “I can only tell you what I know, nothing else!”
Ellinor sat back down, “Okay, then tell me what you know!”
Arnold recalled the past with some irritation
“Your mother was a woman I pursued in college but never won over. One day fifteen years ago, I bumped into her by chance, she urgently asked me to pick up her daughter from the children’s hospital, after that we lost contact.”
Ellinor’s eyes narrowed, “What’s my mother’s real name?”
“She was called Marlene”
Marlene..
Ellinor silently repeated this name in her heart, then looked at Arnold again, “Continue, what else?”
