My First Love and the Father of My Child

One of our older relatives, Timothy Weiss, broke up the argument between Greg and Jacob. He tapped his walking stick on the floor to silence everyone."Quiet! What's going on?"As the oldest person there, Timothy commanded everyone's respect. He turned to Greg and Amanda, scrutinizing them. "Why do you have to cause a scene on Jacob's birthday?"Amanda shot Greg a look. Greg, taking her hint, immediately faked a sigh."Since everyone's here today, I shall take this opportunity to announce some very important news." As he spoke, he cast a conflicted look at Jacob.I coldly watched his acting, feeling nothing but disdain."Jacob isn't Rachel's son."As Greg dropped a bomb, the party attendees began to murmur among themselves.Jacob's shoulders trembled slightly. He looked at me with a mix of confusion, fear, and panic. I stroked his head to comfort him and gently pulled him closer.A gleeful, victorious look briefly flashed across Greg's eyes, but it was quickly replaced by sadn

I didn't look shocked at all. After all, I knew the truth—Charlotte was Greg and Amanda's biological daughter."Mom, I finally found you! You're my mom!"Charlotte's hair was dry and dull. She looked emaciated with sunken cheeks. One could tell the abuse she had endured living with Amanda over these years.Alas, Amanda must have assumed she was abusing my daughter when, in reality, Charlotte was her child all along.Timothy, who had first spoken up, could no longer stand this fiasco. He tapped his walking stick on the floor again, demanding answers. "Greg, who's this girl?"Nodding, Greg answered, "This is Rachel's daughter. She's been weak from a young age and is always sick. We can never nurse her back to health."Silence filled the living room.I had my doubts. Perhaps Charlotte wasn't born a sick child as they claimed; she was sick because of Amanda's deliberate neglect.Charlotte refused to let go of my hand. Her face was streaked with tears. "Mom, I miss you so much. Yo

While the lawyer was busy drafting the agreement, I observed Amanda's face.On the brink of tears, she clutched her fist tightly, watching the transfer of her assets to Jacob with pain. She had to put on an act, but she only ended up forcing a grimace.On the other hand, Greg had immediately reached out to the relevant center to arrange for the DNA test. At each step, he triple-checked the details, all while excluding me from the process.The doctor collected blood samples from me, Jacob, and Amanda, as per the standard procedures.I pointed at Greg. "He'll take the DNA test too."I was greeted with a snort. "I'm Jacob's biological dad. Do I really need to take the test?"I smiled at him. "Why not? Getting cold feet?"Jacob was confused by my request, but he took my side without hesitation to talk Greg into taking the DNA test. To Greg, Jacob wasn't just a son—he was the key to endless fortune. Naturally, he saw no reason to turn down Jacob's request.…After we left the DNA

Amanda was shouting outside my villa at the crack of dawn on the day she was told to collect the DNA test results.She had brought a group of people with her, the same way she had during Jacob's birthday party.I silently studied her face. The group followed behind Amanda all the way to the DNA testing center. She had called them to witness my humiliation, but I was afraid she would be left disappointed.Before we checked the results, I smiled at Greg. "You were the one who chose the DNA testing center. I didn't take part at any point. Surely, you won't dispute the results?"He replied sternly, "Of course I won't.""Good."Before the doctor showed up, Amanda leaned against Greg, saying, "When the results are out, we will be family forever."She shot me a conceited smile as if she were showing off, but I paid her no attention.My reaction bored her. She then tried to strike up a conversation with Jacob, but he turned his back toward her, leaving her embarrassed. Greg and Aman

"Not only that, I haven't slept with you in the ten years we were married—not even on our wedding night. I couldn't have been happier every time you sought out Amanda. Even sharing a bed with you disgusts me.""No! I don't believe that!" Greg had totally lost his composure. "Why did you marry me, then?""Since I couldn't marry Derek, it didn't matter who I ended up with. I just needed a father for my baby. I gave you a lot of money, but you were insatiable. You deserve everything that has happened to you."Greg's face was pale as he back at me, mumbling, "Impossible… This is impossible…"His face contorted into a scowl the next moment. "Give me back all my money! That was my money! I can't give it all to Jacob—he's not even my son!""Your money?" I felt like I had heard a massive joke. "You lived off my money all these years, and yet you're talking about your money! I was the one who gave it to you in the first place! Anyway, you willingly signed the asset transfer agreement, whic
