Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 112

Xander's words confused me. It was true, though. Petra and I were not related to one another in any way. I did not even know her before this, but she was willing to help me. Why? I never got to the bottom of it and just assumed it was because of Theo.

Come to think of it, it was very strange. With Petra's current wealth and position, Theo's help was completely unnecessary.

Especially this morning. She had asked a bunch of inexplicable questions that I was still confused over.

"What's going on?” I was pulling at Xander as I asked impatiently. Everything seemed strange.

Xander turned around and looked at me with disapproval as he said, "There's really no cure for your stupidity. No wonder Theo dislikes you and wants to divorce you. Your mind is no match for his."

I furrowed my brows. It felt that things were getting more complicated. I asked in a deep voice, "What's going on?”

"You still don’t get it? My mom thought you were her daughter and that's why she was good to you. She did a DNA test with your and Cindy’s samples. The results came out this afternoon saying that Cindy is her

daughter."

I was completely frozen. I never expected that.

Xander continued talking, "Honestly, I thought it'd be you since you look so much like her. I didn't think the results would point to Cindy."

"Why was my DNA taken for the test? Solely because I look like her? And how did your mom even get my DNA?"

Xander looked at me and sighed as he said, "You and Cindy look a lot like my mom. She has always been looking for her daughter, so she would certainly not let go of any clue. As to how she got your DNA, what d o you think?”

I thought about it and asked, "Theo?”

"Stupid, but not very. After an investigation, my mom found that many of your and Cindy's experiences overlapped. But she wasn't sure about your identities, s o she had Theo arrange for you two to see her. After that, she went and did a DNA test."

"Do you mean that Theo came up with excuses back then just because your mom wanted to see me?" My heart ached a little. I initially thought that he wanted t o help me. Who knew...
