Chapter 10

Auteur: Little Pop
Time passed by quickly.

When I was one year old, I finally learned to say, "Mom!"

Mom was so excited that she held me up and spun around three times. Then, she called every relative and friend to show off.

Dad sulked beside us for an entire day. "Why didn't you call Dad first?"

I grinned at him, then said in a clear voice, "Dad!"

He froze for two seconds, then turned his face away, but I saw his ears turn red.

Mom laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh. "Enzo, why are you blushing?"

    Time passed by quickly.When I was one year old, I finally learned to say, "Mom!"Mom was so excited that she held me up and spun around three times. Then, she called every relative and friend to show off.Dad sulked beside us for an entire day. "Why didn't you call Dad first?"I grinned at him, then said in a clear voice, "Dad!"He froze for two seconds, then turned his face away, but I saw his ears turn red.Mom laughed so hard that she slapped her thigh. "Enzo, why are you blushing?""I'm not. You saw wrong," Dad said."Who are you trying to fool? Your ears are completely red!" Mom continued laughing."Nina, enough," my dad said.I sat on the crawling mat and watched them bicker, feeling utterly at peace.Sandy was sentenced when I was eight months old. For forgery and defamation, she was sentenced to three years. That compromised testing lab was shut down, too.On the day the news arrived, Mom held me on the balcony and looked at the distant skyline before saying someth

  • Baby Power   Chapter 9

    On the third day after Sandy left, the police officially opened an investigation. Forgery of a paternity test, spreading false information to damage someone's reputation, and suspected fraud. Lewis, the man in charge of the testing lab, was the first to break. He confessed everything in full detail. Before Sandy was taken away, she posted on social media. There were only two words. [No regrets.] The attached image was a very old photo of her and Dad together. Judging by the background, it seemed to be from their college days. In the photo, Dad smiled with youthful vigor while Sandy stood beside him with light in her eyes. When Mom saw that post, she was silent for a long time. "Enzo." Dad came out of the study. Mom asked, "Back in college, was there really nothing between you and her?" Dad walked over, glanced at the phone screen, and frowned. "She was my roommate's girlfriend. We were in the same club. This photo was taken during a club activity. There were more than

    Everything went silent when Sandy said those words. However, my dad's expression didn't change.He calmly said, "So what? Because you knew me first, I should belong to you?"Sandy's smile finally shattered. "I stayed by your side for three years, back when you were still a poor young man! And what about you? You turned around and married her, just because her father could help you get your first investment?"Mom raised her head. "What?"Sandy turned and looked at Mom, her eyes full of hatred she had accumulated all these years. "Oh, Nina… Do you really think he loves you? You were nothing more than a marriage partner that nets him resources! I was the one who stayed with him from beginning to end.""Enough," Dad said as he stood up. His voice was not loud, but the pressure in it was heavy enough. "Sandy, there was nothing between us. Your one-sided fantasy is not a reason to hurt my wife and daughter."Sandy swayed after that as her voice raised, "One-sided? You say it was on

    Dad moved faster than I had imagined.Victor called back that same night. "I found it, sir. Sandy contacted a private testing lab on Southton three months ago and transferred fifteen thousand dollars to them. The man in charge is named Lewis. He has a record. His license was revoked before for forging documents."Dad showed no expression on his face after hearing this, but I noticed the knuckles of the hand holding his phone had turned white. "Anything else?"Victor continued. "Also, we had someone trace the source of that hotel photo. The original image came from a stock image website. The face edited onto it doesn't match Nina at all.""Is the evidence preserved?" Dad asked."Everything has been saved in a way that will hold up in court," Victor said.Dad hung up and turned to Mom. She was sitting by the crib, holding a bottle. Her eyes were calm but red."Nina, I'll ask Sandy to come here tomorrow," Dad said.Mom froze for a moment. "What are you going to do?""End this," D

    The test result would come out three days later.During those three days, Sandy didn't come to our house again, but she kept herself occupied. I knew… Because Mom's phone kept ringing. Message after message came in, all from people in their shared social circle, all pretending to be "concerned".[Nina, I heard you and Enzo had a fight. Are you okay?][Someone said you two are doing a paternity test. What happened?][Nina, don't get mad at me for being nosy. Sandy has been crying so hard. She said your husband falsely accused her.]Mom's expression grew darker as she read those messages. She didn't reply to any of them, but I could feel the arm holding me tighten.She was bearing it all.-On the morning of the third day, Dad went to collect the report himself. When he came back, he held a brown paper envelope with a complicated expression on his face.Mom stood up from the couch, her eyes fixed on the envelope. "What does it say?"Dad set the envelope on the coffee table, o

  • Baby Power   Chapter 5

    The packed lines of text in the Notes app were enough to shock everyone who saw it. [Why hasn't that strange man who keeps kissing me come back? Mom looks so happy when he's here.] [Dad is not my real dad.] Every entry had a date, down to the day each sentence was supposed to be "translated." The living room was so quiet that we could hear a pin drop. Mom froze. Her lips trembled as she looked from the phone screen to Sandy's face. "Sandy…? What is this?" Sandy's face turned pale. She bent down to pick up the phone, her fingers shaking. "Nina, listen to me. This is… This material I wrote for a novel before…" "Material?" Dad's voice was as cold as a blade. "What kind of novel material needs to be arranged by date, and down to which sentence should be said on which day?" Sandy's eyes reddened, and tears came exactly when she needed them. "Enzo, you misunderstood me. I..." "Then explain it." My dad walked over, took the phone from her hand, and scrolled down. "Octobe
