The CEO's Unplanned Heir novel Chapter 953

“Skyler is nothing like Leopold. His immaturity is as glaring as a beacon in the night, his mind often in a whimsical haze. If I didn't keep my eyes on him constantly, goodness knows what could happen.” murmured Tanya.

Jessica said, "Skyler seems alright to me, sharp and considerate. I think you're selling him short."

Tanya peeled an almond on the table, popped it into her mouth, and bit down hard.

She wanted a son who hung on her every word, not some ungrateful rebel who'd bite the hand that fed him.

It drove her up the wall whenever she saw him toddling after Aurelia, calling her "Angel" all the time.

He was like Aurelia's little lapdog, utterly brainwashed.

"I guess I've been a bit hands-off with him. Maybe the illness has got me all worked up, worrying about him being all alone, with nobody to turn to if I were to pass."

"But you're on the mend, right?" Jessica consoled. "You're looking more radiant by the day. And with all the folks around the house, how could he ever be left alone? We'll all look after him."

Tanya sighed, deftly changing the subject. "You've got your issues these days, Jessica. What's the plan with Megan?"

"We've got to root out whoever has been messing around with Megan," Jessica said, her lips tightening. "As for dealing with her, that's a decision for Leopold after he's out of the hospital."

From this, Tanya was sure Jessica hadn't pushed for a paternity test for the child and Megan. Common sense dictated that the child could only be unrelated to the father, not the mother, so there would be no need for a test with her.

"Can't believe Megan could stoop so low. Unearthing her baby’s dad won't be easy, right?"

"Not necessarily," Jessica said, sipping her coffee calmly. "The kid doesn't resemble Megan, so he must take after the father. Just need to see who in the family he looks like, and we'll be pretty close to the truth."

Tanya's heart skipped a beat. The child does resemble his father, and her secret would be out if they got recognized. She had to regain custody of the child and fast.
