Chapter 871
Aveline looked at him, unsure, and hesitated before speaking. "Maybe... we should do a paternity test?"
"No, no need for that. You are my daughter, just look-look how much you resemble your mother!" Wilfried shook his head immediately, quickly walking over to a photo, and pointing at the woman in the picture. Aveline walked over and looked at the woman in the photo. The face was unfamiliar to her, but she could see the clear resemblance. Especially in the eyes-soft, gentle, and serene, just like hers. Pressing her lips together, Aveline turned to Wilfried. "Let's do the test anyway. I don't want any issues later."
Gavin then spoke up. "Dad, let's do it. Once it's done, we won't have to worry about this again."
Gernard said nothing, his gaze complicated as he looked at Aveline. He couldn't even face her properly. He had spent so much time trying to convince her to divorce Lucas, all to help Juliet. He felt like a complete fool.
Aveline turned to Gavin, who said, "Hello, I'm Gavin. You should... call me brother."
Aveline's lips moved, and she softly called, "Brother."
For the first time in years, a smile appeared on Gavin's usually stern face. "Hmm."Content is © 2024 NôvelDrama.Org.
It was a strange feeling. Juliet had called him "brother" for over a decade, but it had never meant anything.
In fact, deep down, he had always been annoyed by her.
But now, hearing Aveline call him "brother" felt different.
For the first time, he actually liked it.
Perhaps that's the power of real family ties.
They would follow through with the procedure, even though the Cooper family was already convinced Aveline was truly one of them.
The paternity test results would take three days, and during that time, Aveline stayed with the Cooper family.
Wilfried treated her with great care, always checking on her, making sure she was comfortable, and asking about all her preferences. He even had a room specially designed just for her, based on her tastes. Gavin also bought her many of her favorite things.
Gernard, still silent, hadn't dared to say much, but he showed his sincerity in small, quiet ways.
Lucas, on the other hand, felt like an outsider, unable to truly fit in. The men of the Cooper family certainly weren't keen on letting him in, too afraid he might take Aveline@way.
Lucas could only sigh in resignation.
However, one person had been watching everything unfold quietly.
On the day the test results came in, Judith packed her belongings and headed straight to the airport.
There was no way she could stay in the house any longer. If Wilfried ever discovered what she had done, she'd end up like Juliet-ruined. But just as she arrived at the airport, she was stopped.
Desmond stood there, smiling. "Mrs. Cooper, where are you headed? Does Mr. Cooper know you're leaving?"
Judith frowned. "Who are you? Where I go is none of your business. Now move!"
She tried to push past Desmond, but he extended an arm, blocking her. "I'm afraid you can't leave just yet, Mrs. Cooper."
Before Judith could argue further, Desmond and his men forced her back into the car and returned her to the Cooper estate.
The paternity test results had arrived, confirming that Aveline was indeed Wilfried's daughter.
Even though everyone had all t
expected this result, seeing the confirmation of their biologicale relationship in writing brought
waves of emotion.
Wilfried, feeling overwhelmed, began to cry openly.
His daughter! He had finally found his real daughter!
"Mr. Tudor, she's been brought back," Desmond's voice suddenly broke through the moment.
