“The baby isn't deformed at all. It was all a ploy,” Shane explained briefly.

Nonetheless, the meaning behind his words was more than enough for utter shock to slam into both Connor and Sally.

“A ploy?” Sally's voice went up a few decibels. “What exactly happened?”

Likewise, Connor's eyes were pinned on Shane.

Thus, Shane divulged some of the details behind the entire incident.

After listening to him, Sally blew a gasket. “Damn it! I never expected the truth to be such. Mr. Shane, that cousin of yours is really heartless. You definitely can't let him off the hook!”

“So, Sean is actually... my uncle?” Connor's eyes that were an exact replica of Shane's narrowed.

He abruptly recalled something strange—Sean asking him to call him uncle back then.

The first time I saw him was on the night I met with an accident. Back then, I was eating with Mommy in the restaurant when he came up and flirted with Mommy. He even told me to call him uncle, saying that he's my daddy's brother. Mommy and Daddy weren't married then, so why did he say that he's my uncle? Don't tell me he can tell the future and knew that they would get married long before the fact? Or did he tell me to call him uncle because he mistook me for Daddy's biological son due to our resemblance?

While he was pondering that, Shane asked, “What are you thinking about, Connor?”

“It's nothing.” Connor shook his tiny head.

Seeing that he was reluctant to tell him, Shane didn't pursue it but retracted his gaze. “I naturally won't let him off the hook,” he vowed.
