True Love Deserves a Second Chance by Nox Shadow

Chapter 233 Paternity Test

Elise woke up and saw Derek first thing.

He was sitting by the bed, working on some documents. The way he furrowed his brows and signed with such force brought back some odd memories for Elise.

She remembered Cordelia resting her chin on her hand, smiling at Derek. His expression and handwriting were just the same.

Derek suddenly looked up at Cordelia with a tender smile. He gently tapped her nose and said, "Come here."

She happily got up and threw herself into his arms, softly caressing the mole on his Adam's apple. "Derek, let's have a child," she said.

Derek kissed her eyes and replied, "How many do you want? I'll make it happen tonight." Then he kissed her.

Elise's cheeks burned at the memory. 'Why is this so clearly? Did I see Derek and Cordelia being intimate? Was I really the mistress, like Cordelia said?'

She gripped the blanket tightly, a thought suddenly hitting her.

Elise stared into Derek's deep eyes, tears welling up. 'No way! I couldn't be Derek's mistress. Leo can't be Derek's child.'

Just as she was feeling overwhelmed, Derek looked up and saw her tears. He dropped his documents and rushed over. "Elise, is it your wound? I'll get the doctor."
