Chapter 86 DNA Result
ROBIN FAMILY HOME, LOS ANGELES.
Ethan kissed his teeth in anger as he stared at the paper in his hand. He looked livid. Leo sighed tiredly throwing his head to the back, as he caressed a sleeping Sinclair in hand. The room was dead silent as the men looked lost in thoughts. They were seated in the study.
“I can’t believe this shady bloggers.” Ethan bellowed breaking the silence. “They just had to go to this length for content?”
Leo sat up as he stared at the DNA test result in his father’s hand. Just as Anthony had advised they had done a paternity test and it was delivered the next day after Anthony pulled strings for an urgent result. Just as they all know, Leo is Sinclair’s father. He had come to show it to his father to seek advice if there is a better way to handle the situation without making the media houses have an upper hand.
“I didn’t want to dad. But I just had to do it for Darby and Sinclair’s sake. It’s so crazy that our business has to be all out in the open because of our status. Those crazy people take delight in having us worry about what the public would say about us.”
“How is the mother doing?” His father asked.
“She is a nervous wreck at the moment, I had to drop her off at her mum’s place. Some crazy Individuals went to her fashion house in a bid to seek a response from her over the controversy. Most people already had the details of the tabloid saved before it was brought down. I just can’t wait for all of this to blow over.”
“I do hope you are working on getting the perpetrator of all of this bullshit.” Ethan cursed.
“Trust me, dad. I will make sure to have the person arrested for defamation of character. What’s most important now is how to deal with the situation of the DNA.”
“I think the best we can do is take a press conference from LA times. Since you had introduced Sinclair to the world through that medium, you can as well show them all who he truly is. And he is no doubt a Robin.”
“How about the board members? Do we need to hold a meeting with them?”
“There will be no need to do that. They obviously can read the news. Since they didn’t think it was right to seek for clarification before choosing to discuss it among themselves, there is no need to call them together again.”
Leo chuckled lightly. “You look angry, dad.”
“It’s absurd, Leo. This crazy people will go to any length to get whatever it is they want. How dare them involve a child in their madness? Who thinks so backward like that?”
Humming to himself, Leo noted in his head that only someone like Abigail will stoop so low in a bid to revenge by involving an innocent child. Kingston already reported back to him, the details of the anonymous tip. Her information wasn’t hidden and for a moment, he really felt disappointed in her considering how much he warned her to back off and not do anything stupid to Darby. She should never have taken that route with him. He intends to keep the information to himself until Abigail can be brought to book and with all of the evidence pointing to her.
“They are all just out for money, but I will make sure that won’t ever happen again.” He said standing up to rock Sinclair. He smiled as he placed a small kiss on his forehead. He had insisted on coming with Leo despite his mother’s plea to stay with him.
Leo would have considered leaving him, but Sinclair threw a huge fit and insisted on going with his father. It makes him so glad that his son wants to be with him as much as he does too.
“I would have asked that you two spend the night here but you need to go home to Chloe. How is she handling the entire situation?” Ethan asked.
Mumbling some incoherent words under his breath, Leo huffed loudly. He had been too preoccupied with himself to pay much mind to Chloe. She seem to have locked herself up in the guest room when he arrived home last night. He already has too much on his plate to pay mind to her tantrums.
“She will be fine, I guess. Is it okay for me to drop Sinclair here, I will be back by dinner time. I need to meet with Aaron.”
“You know Evelyn and Scarlett would love to have him around.” Ethan said.
The door opened letting Evelyn in. “I thought I heard someone call my name.”
Leo laughed. “You heard correctly. I just wanted to know if it’s okay to drop my little one here with you till I return.”
Evelyn cooed sweetly. “You know you don’t have to ask, he is my step grandson after all.” She grinned taking the boy from him.
“Alright, dad. I will see you soon.” He said heading out. Aaron already dropped a message for them to meet in their usual spot and that was where he was driving to.
Kick-starting the car, Leo’s eyes went towards the phone screen and it reminded him of Chloe. Even though it isn’t the best of situations, he felt glad that there was something to distract him from the madness going on under his roof. Chloe being pregnant just doesn’t make any sense at the moment.
Aaron already had an opened can of beer in front of him by the time Leo arrived. “What’s up with you, man?” Leo mused slapping his friend’s back.
Aaron had a worried look on his face. “I guess I am okay. How are you doing?”
“Fine.” He answered dryly motioning for the bar man to get him something.
“Man, you have been in a shitload of mess week after week. What exactly is going on?”
“This has nothing to do with me. It’s just a personal vendetta from Abigail. That bitch is crazy.”
“I wouldn’t doubt that. I mean she has been coming after Darby since high school. So, how about Chloe?” Leo kept mute and sipped on his glass of margarita slowly keeping his eyes on the row of drinks on the shelve. “You don’t want to talk about it?”
He exhaled. “It sounds crazy, yeah. But my wife is pregnant and I can swear on my life that it ain’t mine.”
Aaron had his mouth agape as he stared at his friend. “Why do you pull my leg so much?”
“This is far from a joke Aaron. Ever since we got married and about a month before we got married, I have only had sex with Chloe in one night.”
“What? Are you both trying to stay celibate after marriage or what?”
“It has nothing to do with that. I just lost vital interest and didn’t want a part of it anymore.”
“Well, it’s definitely your pregnancy. Conception can happen at just one round of sex. Your son is here as a result of that.”
“I used protection, Aaron.” He blurted swallowing the rest of his drink.
Looking dazed, Aaron took a sip of his beer and furrowed his brows like it tasted bitter or so. His words kept hanging as he tried to say something, tilting his head to the side he scoffed. “Tell me something, Leo. Are you mad? You used protection on your wife?”
“Don’t blame me, I just didn’t think twice before doing it. My point is it’s not me. And I know Chloe to not be a cheat, so definitely how this pregnancy came by is a confusion to me.”
“I’m still on the fact that you starved your wife for weeks and only copulated with her once after about two months of being together and to make matters worse you asshole don’t even look a bit remorseful.” Aaron sounded angry.
“But you do know how I have always felt about, Chloe. Why are you tagging me to be the bad guy?”
“Because hell yeah, you are. There is nothing fair about that stupid attitude of yours. I fucking warned you to make this work, I told you to back out when you could but you refused. And now you want to act like a saint and make her appear like the bad person. Have you lost it? What do you expect of a woman whose man doesn’t even bat an eyelid at her?”
“You don’t even like Chloe.”Text content © NôvelDrama.Org.
“I don’t need to like her to be able to speak the fucking truth. You my friend doesn’t deserve to be pitied. You must have made her feel unwanted and like a piece of wood. What do you think drove the woman I love to leave me? Because I took her for granted. And even if you weren’t so interested in her, you didn’t have to punish her like that. I am disappointed in you, Leo.”
“But Aaron…”
“Don’t do that, man. Women are suppose to be appreciated and loved. I know I am not any different from an asshole too. But I know better to not disrespect any of them or make fun of someone because they choose to love you. Chloe might be really annoying, but damn man! She loves you and the least you can do is put a fucking respect to her name and talk to her like a real man would. You both are still young anyway. Don’t make this more complicated than it already is. I will leave you to it.” He scoffed leaving his drink half way as he walked away.
Leo gritted as he punched at the stand, calling onto the bar tender. He ordered four shots of tequila.
