Dear Ex-wife Marry Me by Twin Bridge

Chapter 2230

The results of the second paternity test came back quickly, matching the first exactly.

There was now no doubt-Athena was the Keller family's long-lost child.

Grandma Edith was so overwhelmed that she nearly fainted. But as soon as she remembered how Athena had suffered through brutal bullying in high school, and how her parents and younger brother had died in that horrible car accident, she couldn't help but think of all the hardship the girl had endured over the years.

Tears streamed down Grandma Edith's face.

"Lucien, you have to bring Athena home," she pleaded, her voice trembling. "I know she's married now, but she's still part of the Keller family. There's no way I can let her struggle out there on her own. And that Bennitt boy-he's such a womanizer, everyone knows he flirts with every girl he meets. I really don't trust him with Athena."

Lucien looked down at the test results, and finally, he believed them, too.

After all, he'd arranged for the test in secret this time-there was no way Athena could have anticipated it and manipulated the results.

"Mom, I'll go talk to her," he promised.

"Do it soon. I can't bear the thought of my granddaughter suffering any longer. And when I think of how much affection I poured on Maggie all these years, it feels like a knife in my heart. Maggie bullied Athena so terribly back then... What if Athena refuses to acknowledge us?"

"She won't," Lucien said firmly. "The Keller family can be her support. I don't think she'd turn us away. And even if she does, isn't that Bennitt boy still around? He might help us talk some sense into her."
