Chapter 167 Ethan Goes for a Paternity Test

Preschool.

As one by one, all the other kids had left, the teacher asked, "Casey, your folks haven't come to pick you up yet?"

"Casey's dad doesn't want him anymore," a group of kids whispered among

themselves, claiming that Casey's father had abandoned him.

"That's a bunch of bull!" Casey, dressed in his little overalls, puffed up with anger at the taunt. "Knock it off, my dad loves me."

The truth was, Casey had lied. His dad didn't care for him at all.

"You're the liar," the ringleader retorted, sticking out his tongue at Casey. "My mom said so. Casey is the kid no adult likes. Your dad doesn't like you or your mom."

"That's nonsense!" Tears welled up in Casey's eyes as he lunged to fight the other kids. However, being just a chubby little thing, Casey stood no chance in the scuffle against the taller kid.

"Casey, your dad dumped you! Nobody's coming for you," the bully jeered, mocking Casey for being abandoned.

"My mom is just... she's just running late..." Casey said as he was pushed to the ground, bursting into tears.

The ringleader picked up a rock from the ground, intending to throw it at Casey.

Terrified, Casey curled up, only to see Justin, who had been quietly molding clay figures in the corner, fling a clump of mud that hit the bully straight on the forehead.

The kid's face was smeared with mud, and he started to cry.

Casey watched the bully's comical plight through his tear and snot-covered face and couldn't help but laugh.

At that moment, Justin looked so cool in his eyes.

Justin, with a serious expression, looked at the kids who had been picking on Casey and said, "You're all so noisy."

"Justin, we're going to snitch on you, you fatherless freak!" shouted the ringleader as he ran off crying.

"Justin isn't weird; he's my uncle's son," Casey declared defiantly, hands on hips, staunchly defending Justin.

The other kids scattered, leaving only Casey and Justin in the classroom.

"Justin! Justin!" Casey ran over to him, calling out loud.
