Chapter 1865
A touch of embarrassment colored Carlos’ cheeks.
“Absolutely not.
”
I offered a sarcastic smile.
“It’s not that I’m opposed to responsibility.Material © NôvelDrama.Org.
If the kid is mine, I can compensate Alexandria for any emotional or physical distress with a hefty financial settlement and assets.
However, I distinctly remember only being drunk and asleep that night.
I have no recollection or sensation of having s@x with anyone.
”
My eyes grew colder.
“Besides, I’m not some naive kid.
No matter how drunk I get, I wouldn’t experience complete memory loss.
I trust my gut, and this situation feels off.
”
Carlos spoke hurriedly.
“You’re right, Caleb.
My apologies.
I’ll handle it immediately and inform you as soon as I have the results.
”
I simply nodded and left without further comment.

But that wasn’t enough.
I knew a paternity test alone wouldn’t do.
I also discreetly tasked some of my most trusted lieutenants with investigating Alexandria and Neal’s activities while I was away from the Thorn Edge Pack.
Additionally, I instructed my bodyguards to arrange a_ separate paternity test, one conducted without Carlos’ knowledge.
Once everything was in motion, I headed home.
Pulling up to the villa gate, a wave of exhaustion washed over me as I replayed the day’s events in my head.
With a tired sigh, I started towards the second-floor bedroom.
Reaching my door, I hesitated.
Debra would undoubtedly be furious.
Was she asleep? Should I risk waking her? An argument now would surely keep her up all night.
With that thought, I resigned myself to spending the night in the study.
But as I turned to head towards it, a cry broke the silence.
My heart lurched.
Fearing the worst, I flung open the door.
Debra, rubbing her sleepy eyes, rose to tend to Abby in her stroller.
I strode over, gently placing a hand on her shoulder.
“Go back to sleep.
I’ll take care of her.
”
Without further delay, I scooped up Abby, skillfully feeding and soothing her until she drifted off to sleep.
I then changed her diaper.
With Abby settled, I looked up to find Debra still awake, her eyes fixed on me.
The bedroom grew quiet.
We Looked into each other’s eyes, but neither of us spoke.
I started to form an apology, an explanation, but the words died on my lips.
Instead, I murmured softly, “You must be exhausted.
Sleep.
We can talk in the morning.
”
Her expression remained unreadable.
After a pause, she offered a faint nod.
“You too, get some rest.
”
With that, Debra closed her eyes and turned away.
I sighed, the sound heavy in the quiet room.
Slipping out, I headed to the guest room for a shower before returning to the master bedroom.
