Secret Admiration: Finding True Love After Prison

John snapped, “Why do you think the child is Dalton’s?”

Chandler said, “That day, the nurse ran a blood test right in front of me. Neither Meryl nor I have B–type blood.”

Chandler frowned, a strange feeling creeping over him. “What’s so funny?” he asked.

John leaned against the wall, his eyes filled with cold mockery. “You keep saying you love Meryl, yet you couldn’t even give her the most basic trust.

Chandler’s brows knitted tightly. No matter what had happened, he had never once thought about leaving Meryl. Even if the child was Dalton’s, all he wanted was an explanation.

But now, from John’s words, he sensed something else. He wondered, “Is there more to this than I’ve assumed?”

After all, what man can accept the idea of raising another man’s child, believing he has been betrayed?

“Well, since you want to know, I’ll tell you,” John said, locking, eyes with Chandler. “The child isn’t Dalton’s. The reason the blood test didn’t match wasn’t because Meryl cheated–it’s because Lydia switched your biological son at birth. But Meryl found out and secretly switched him back.”

Chandler’s eyes widened in shock. “What… What did you just say?”
