Chapter: 1069

Though it seemed like a long shot, Nikolas was on pins and needles.

He needed the certainty of the test results before confronting Aimee.

“Yes, you're right. I was so anxious I couldn't think straight."

After providing her sample for the test, Siena emerged from the clinical lab.

She walked straight to Nikolas, her eyes filled with determination.

"I didn't Lie to you. I've only ever been with you! But I'll come clean Two years ago, I had Marvin help me get you drunk at the bar. He arranged a room and gave me the key."

Back then, Siena had been determined to conceive Nikolas’ baby, strategically timing it during her ovulatory period.

Though she knew Nikolas would never be hers, her love for him was so overwhelming that she wanted a child as a keepsake.

Nikolas stood in silence, her confession weighing heavily on him.

“So I'm certain the child is yours."

Nikolas' memory flickered back to that night. Marvin had indeed invited him for drinks.

They weren't close, having shared only a few drinks before. But during that time, Nikolas was living it up. Even if Marvin hadn't extended the invitation, he would've accepted another.

Marvin had even arranged for a beautiful woman, whom Nikolas accepted in his inebriated state without much thought.

He vaguely recalled the woman in the hotel room refusing to turn on the light. He thought she was shy and let it go.

But the next morning, waking up next to Siena, he had bolted in fear, not even saying goodbye before fleeing abroad on a business trip with Jonathan.

"Are you sure it was me who slept with you?" he asked.

"Who else could it be? To avoid any mishap, I only had Marvin ply you with wine. He wasn't drinking wine, so he stayed sober and wouldn't have given me the wrong room key!"

Nikolas was at a loss for words, a chill running down his spine.

At that moment, he understood Aimee's anxiety.

In a world full of unpredictable people, what if other ex-girlfriends had used similar tricks on him? Would he end up with many unknown children?

"Now you understand. This child must be yours."

"Let's wait for the test result."

Nikolas, his mind in turmoil, needed the clarity the results would bring.

"As a girl, how could you stoop to such a thing? How did your parents raise you?" Gilda's fury erupted, her indignation palpable at hearing her son had been manipulated.
