Successfully dropping the bombshell caught Alaric Faulkner by surprise, and Eleanor Sterling raised the corners of her lips happily.
Alaric Faulkner tightened his grip, "Make it clear, how are Estelle and Caleb my sons?"
Eleanor Sterling sighed and said, "It’s literal, President Faulkner, didn’t you understand?"
"They are... not Jasper’s..."
Eleanor Sterling braced her hand against his chest, saying, "Let me go first, and I’ll explain everything to you properly."
Alaric Faulkner, eager to know the truth, naturally complied and obediently released Eleanor Sterling.
Eleanor Sterling pulled him to sit down on the sofa.
She carefully considered her words before speaking, "Last time in Lyria, I noticed something unusual in your blood, so I drew some, and later inadvertently discovered this matter."
Alaric Faulkner was silent for a moment and recalled.
In Lyria, Eleanor Sterling indeed drew his blood and then took it for research.
At that time, he thought Eleanor Sterling intended to test once more the parent-child relationship between him and Estelle Sterling and was somewhat worried whether she would be upset once she found out the truth.
He slowly realized, could Estelle Sterling be his son? Not Jasper Faulkner’s!
"Then what about Caleb? Isn’t he the child of Faye Sterling and me?"
"No, he’s our child too." Eleanor Sterling looked at Alaric Faulkner and said, "Back then, we had a fleeting romance, and I gave birth to two children, Estelle and Caleb.
Later, Faye Sterling falsely claimed my child had died, misleading me to think it was a girl, while in reality, she took Caleb Faulkner to the Faulkner Family."
Alaric Faulkner’s handsome face tightened as he recalled things from seven years ago.
He woke up in the hotel back then and saw Faye Sterling beside him, her face shyly claiming they had slept together.
Seeing the blood on the sheet and recalling the wonderful night, he believed Faye Sterling’s words. ɪꜰ ʏᴏᴜ ᴡᴀɴᴛ ᴛᴏ ʀᴇᴀᴅ ᴍᴏʀᴇ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs, ᴘʟᴇᴀsᴇ ᴠɪsɪᴛ novel·fire.net
Yet he felt a visceral aversion when looking at Faye Sterling, even doubting whether the woman he was with was really her.
Later, when Faye Sterling came with the child, he had Dylan Lawson conduct a paternity test, which made him believe her.
However, he still never got close to Faye Sterling.
Now the truth is finally revealed!
He finally understood why he resisted Faye Sterling so much; she was not the woman he spent that night with seven years ago!
Alaric Faulkner’s dark eyes brimmed with anger.
He had been deceived by Faye Sterling for seven years, and due to the children’s matter, he and Eleanor Sterling had various misunderstandings, nearly ending their relationship.
Faye Sterling was the root of all this!
Thinking that Eleanor Sterling actually bore him two children, Alaric Faulkner felt a softness in his heart, accompanied by immense joy.
Something he had fantasized about countless times had finally become a reality, making him wildly ecstatic and tender as if he were melting into water.
Alaric Faulkner reached out and hugged Eleanor Sterling tightly, calling her softly in a husky voice.
Eleanor Sterling looked at him with a smile, "So... President Faulkner, are you happy? I gave you two children."
"Happy, so happy I could burst."
All he wanted now was to hold her close and shower her with love.
Eleanor Sterling curled her lips into a light smile, finally managing to evade the topic about meeting Silas Hawthorne.
Alaric Faulkner precisely captured her triumphant smile.
He rolled over and pinned her down on the sofa, looking at her from above with narrowed eyes, "Let’s set this aside for now and settle the matter of you meeting Silas Hawthorne in private."
Oh my, Eleanor Sterling was a bit speechless.
She had unveiled everything, hadn’t she succeeded in diverting his attention?
