Stella POV:
I was still staring at the DNA test in a daze. The way Mr. Jonathans shook Logan's hand seemed to make sense, but the substantial question was, did he know Logan is his son?
"How is that even possible? How was it kept away for years?"
"I don't understand either,” Kai said just as the room's door flew open and the click of heels followed from the other direction. Viola was walking in our direction with a smile. Panicking, I hid the file behind my back.
"How are you feeling, darling?" She said, hugging Aiden lightly while placing a kiss on his cheek.
"I'll be better once I'm out of here." Her gaze drifted to Logan who offered his hand.
"Hello, Mrs...?"
"Viola," she smiled and my gaze drifted between the two of them.
"Are you his classmate?" She glimpsed at Aiden who was glaring. I couldn't help but wonder if she knew it was the same guy she had the picture of, or whether she was a good actress.
"We have a project together."
"Can we continue this conversation later?" Aiden whined, and I narrowed my eyes at him. He shook his head with a faint smile before swinging one arm around my shoulder and brushing his lips against the side of my head. I felt the file become so stiff in my hands.
"Great. Would you like to come over for lunch? You and Aiden could work on your project?"
Aiden's jaw clenched. "Mom,"
"I think that would be a great idea," Logan replied politely and Aiden sighed as we started to walk away. He refused to get a wheelchair and insisted he could walk, but I noticed the way he kept surpassing a wince with every step he took.
"Mom has a habit of inviting everyone over," he said in a dry tone.
"Don't be mad. Logan is..."
"If you're going to defend him in front of me, don't." I blink at the jealousy tripping in his tone. He's your brother, I wanted to say.
He hates being in the same room as him, how am I ever going to tell him that? I needed to understand the reason why Vanessa left when she was pregnant. That was the first thing I had to do.
My heart tugged as I hugged the file to my chest. "Did you stay up all night watching me sleep?” he whispered hoarsely in my ear, kissing the skin behind it. I sucked in a sharp breath, my throat becoming dry as my heart rate escalated.
"Annoying. And you seem to be just fine now that you’re teasing me.” I mumbled, stepping away.
He winced, doubling over and I immediately rushed back to him. His laugh vibrated as he pulled me closer to him, wiggling his brows. Glaring through narrowed eyes, I couldn’t help but chuckle. He could be a kid sometimes.
