Please Take Me Home Daddy (by Mona Surrey) novel Chapter 7

Chapter 7

Engrossed in his book, the young boy who was sitting across her glanced up at her.

Grace planted a kiss on her cheek and said, “Laura, you’ll have a better life ahead. Once the paternity test results are out, you can have a new home.”

Any home would surely be better than her own mother, the murderer.

Grace got up and left to attend to other children, while Laura continued to obediently draw.

Suddenly, a chilly voice sounded from across. “They won’t want you.”

Laura paused and looked up in confusion.

She saw a young boy with excellent features, despite being only ten years old. He was slightly taller than his peers and already exhibited the potential for future handsomeness.

With one leg propped up and holding a storybook about Cinderella, his narrow eyes were cold. “Don’t hold onto hope.”

She pouted. “No. My dad will definitely come to pick me up. Don’t make fun of me.”

Zayn Graham arrived at the orphanage two years ago.

Rumors had it that he was the illegitimate child of some big wig. His mother had passed away due to illness, and since the big wig didn’t

acknowledge him, he was left in the orphanage.

Zayn was fierce and could fight. When he arrived, no one dared to speak to him. He was like a ferocious lion, ready to bite anyone who came

near.

She used to get bullied in the orphanage because she was cute. Whenever Zayn saw her being mistreated, he would step in and fight on her behalf, teaching her to stand up for herself. He protected her too.

In the entire orphanage, Zayn was only close to her.

When Grace couldn’t handle Zayn, Laura would help relay messages. He would listen impatiently only when Laura was involved.

Everyone teased her as a “Boss” pet.

On the day she was taken away by her mother, Zayn didn’t appear. However, when she returned to the orphanage seven days ago, Zayn was

the first to greet her.

She liked staying indoors and didn’t enjoy playing outside.

Zayn used to prefer playing outside, but for these past seven days, he had been keeping her company, reading fairytales, and ridiculing the irrationality of princesses in those stories.

He was gentle yet not so gentle.

Zayn sat beside her, analyzing with a detached air, “You were taken away by your mother for a year. Did that man come to see you during that time? No, right? He thinks you’re dirty and doesn’t even want to acknowledge you. Even if you are his daughter, he wouldn’t tell the truth.!”

A few boys who entered burst into laughter upon hearing his words. One of them yelled, “Boss, you don’t want Laura to leave, do you? You’re so happy since she came back. You didn’t even eat when she was gone!”

Chapter 7

Zayn’s expression changed, and he grabbed the storybook, hurling it at them. “Get lost!”

Laura held her brush listlessly, looking at the figure on the greeting card. Her happiness had diminished even further.

“Would that happen? Even if the paternity test proves me right, would my father still not acknowledge me?” she thought.

Antonio stared at the paternity test results with a dark expression.

The test showed a 99.9991% likelihood of a paternal relationship.

Laura was his biological daughter.

The three sons had varying degrees of irritation upon seeing the report.

Jasper’s reaction was the strongest. “I don’t agree! Even if she’s truly related to us, I still won’t agree. She has no right to be part of our family! We can’t accept her. With her mother’s rotten genes, who knows if she’ll end up harming our mom in the future?”

The other two brothers remained silent, looking at Antonio in silence.

Their expressions conveyed their sentiments. They also didn’t want to acknowledge Laura.

They would cherish her if she was the daughter of their mother.

But Laura wasn’t.

Her birth wasn’t welcomed by their family.

She was Lilian’s daughter.

Antonio pondered for a moment before discarding the paper into the bin.

For the past seven days, he had been incredibly busy. But whenever he had a moment to spare, he couldn’t help but wonder. What if Laura really was his daughter?

Would he raise her or not?
