Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2300

There was silence in the not-so-small living room. It was so quiet that I could hear everyone’s breath.

The temperature had also gradually dropped amidst the silence. The atmosphere was unbearable.

I was getting impatient and wanted to voice my questions again, but Theo held my hand tightly right before I spoke. I turned to look at him. His eyes had narrowed slightly, his gaze dangerous, suggesting that I should not act rashly.

I was getting impatient, but with Theo's reminder, I could only swallow the words that had reached my mouth.

I did not know how much time passed before Petra and Grayson, who were sitting opposite us, finally moved.

I saw Petra looking at me with sadness in her eyes. "Since you already know, there's no need for me to hide it anymore."

With that, I knew the answer.

I looked up and met her sad eyes, sadness instantly washing over me too.

There was a pause before Petra continued, "You... aren’t my biological daughter. I only acknowledged you as mine. It was just a cover."

A cover…

I closed my eyes gently and lowered my head.

It was true.

Everything that Cole said was true. I was not Petra’s daughter.

When I looked up again, I could not help the wetness of my eyes. "Then am I… truly… Millicent's daughter?" My voice was choking up a little. I did not know what I was feeling at the moment, only that it was hard and unbearable.

Petra glanced at Grayson next to her, her expression troubled. He patted the back of her hand as if to comfort her. He then nodded.

Was he saying that she could tell me about it now?
