Forbidden Passion

Chapter 552 Brandon Denied Paternity

Phoebe didn't think she'd bump into Brandon and Taylor by the lake. She could feel Grace getting all tense next to her, so she gave her arm a little squeeze. "Don't sweat it," Phoebe said, trying to calm her down. "They're your people, the closest you've got."

Grace shot Phoebe a nervous look. "Phoebe, I'm not ready for this."

Lately, Taylor had been coming down to see Grace three times a day. Sometimes she'd ask about Grace's childhood, other times she'd just sit there, not saying much. Honestly, even though they were blood, Brandon and Taylor still felt like strangers to Grace, and it freaked her out.

Phoebe flashed Grace a reassuring smile. "It's cool, I get it. You need time, and so do they. Just don't dodge it, give it a shot, okay?"

Grace bit her lip and nodded after a bit.

Phoebe helped Grace as they walked towards Brandon and Taylor. She could feel Grace dragging her feet, so she slowed down. She took it easy, giving Grace time to get her head straight.

Brandon looked at Grace next to Phoebe and asked Taylor, "Who's that girl? Never seen her before."

Taylor replied, "Her name's Grace. Who do you think she looks like?"

Brandon gave Grace a good look. Her delicate features instantly reminded him of how Taylor looked when they first met.

Brandon asked, "Don't tell me she's some secret kid of yours?"

Taylor gritted her teeth and pinched Brandon's side hard. "Don't be an ass. I'm not like you. She's our daughter."
