Chapter 262 Uncovering the Truth

Kaia thought she could just sit back and wait for the results to roll in, but then, a peculiar client walked into her world.

When she spotted the exotic–looking foreigner in the reception room, she froze for a moment.

Each day of Kaia’s life unfolded like a new act in an endless play, each scene more dramatic than the last.

“Hello, I’m Tony Haywood,” he said with a disarming smile, his accent crisp yet warm.

“I had a short relationship with someone back in the States,” he said, his jaw tightening. “She had my child and never told me. She’s American, and I need to know what rights I have to my own child.”

Kaia cleared her throat, steadying herself to sound professional. “So, you two aren’t married, right?”

Tony’s eyes sparkled with a mix of frustration and innocence, like he was the one wronged in this messy drama. “Exactly! I’m single, but she’s married. And her husband thinks the kid is his!

“I confronted her about it, and she acted like I was a complete stranger! Can you believe the nerve?” His voice rose, indignation spilling over.

Kaia also felt that was pretty outrageous, though she wasn’t entirely shocked.

Luna’s talent for chaos rivaled the most dramatic of soap operas.

Kaia leaned back, her mind already piecing things together. This situation seemed so clear–cut it barely needed a paternity test to confirm.

“Mr. Haywood, how old is the child?” she asked, slipping into her routine questions.

“Not even a year old yet,” Tony replied, his shoulders slumping slightly.

“Under U.S. law,” Kaia explained with professional precision, “courts generally favor maternal custody for children under two, barring any serious concerns.‘

“What kind of concerns?” Tony leaned forward, tension evident

in his voice.

“The court would consider intervening if there’s evidence of the mother’s unfitness–serious illness, neglect, or circumstances that endanger the child’s well–being.”

She paused, then added with a calm smile, “But there’s no rush. You could wait until the child turns two and file for custody
