Chapter 378
Anastasia glanced at Duncan, who was puffing on a cigarette, and he showed no intention of stopping her. “Don’t look at me,” he said. “If you want to take her, just take her. I’ve been feeding this little runt for a while, and she’s still a stranger to me. She’s a waste of good food.”
Anastasia was flabbergasted. This was completely different from what she had expected.
Monica was also at a loss. Taking the girl home now seemed too impulsive.
“Well…” Anastasia didn’t want to hurt the little girl’s feelings, so she gently explained, “Sweetie, your name is Layna, right? I can’t take you home today. Can you stay here a bit longer? You might be my daughter, but we need to make sure first, do you ünderstand?”
Layna shook her head. “No, I don’t want to stay here. Mommy, please take me with you.”
With that, Layna glared fiercely at Duncan. “I want to live a good life with my mommy. If you hit me again, I will have my mother call the police.”
“You little brat, say that again and see what happens.” Duncan suddenly stood up, looking menacing.
Layna quickly hid behind Anastasia. “Mommy, you see, he wants to hit me. Please take me home, or he will beat me up.” Anastasia was torn. “Layna, your dad is just trying to scare you. He won’t hit you, okay? I will come to pick you up in a few days.” Anastasia could tell that Duncan, despite his tough exterior, was actually quite concerned about L’ayna; otherwise, he wouldn’t have rushed to bring her back when she ran away from home in a huff.
Anastasia was still hesitant, but she told Duncan, “Duncan, could you take care of her for a few more days? I need to take a few strands of her hair for a DNA test.”
Duncan took a puff of his cigarette. “Sure, go ahead. Grab a few strands of hair. If you want to go with your mother, we have to do the test, Layna. If you don’t do it yourself, I’ll do it for you. Don’t blame me if it hurts.”
