Erica suddenly thought of a very serious problem. She looked up at the man and said, "You knew Ethan's not my kid long ago, right?"

Matthew already Looked into that, and it was in the files he left for her to read. Tessie and Tam were the real parents. Despite the fact that he found the baby wasn't hers, he never said a word about it.

Judging from his calm demeanor, Erica guessed that he knew, even before he investigated.

He smiled mischievously and nodded.

Sure enough! “I figured. When did you know?" Erica felt distressed.

This man had already known Ethan was not her child, and she still pretended like he was. She felt like such an idiot.

“Remember what I told you in the kitchen the other day? I said I knew a secret."

"I remember... And that's the secret you were talking about?"

The smile in his eyes became more and more obvious.

"Yes!"

Erica pouted her lips. She even tried her best to cover it up, too. But it turned out he knew everything, all this time. And just let her dig herself deeper and deeper. What a jerk

“But how did you find out? Why were you so sure?"

Matthew answered all her questions patiently.

"You told me I was the first guy you kissed-that's when I started wondering. Then, when your mom wanted to get you vaccinated, you told her you had a C-section and didn't need the vaccine. But I've touched your belly. There's no scar."

Anger began to rise in the girl's eyes. Matthew held her hand and continued, "The next day, your dad took your ultrasound report to the hospital so he could find out for himself. And you can guess the rest."

He didn't need to keep talking. Now she knew perfectly well what happened.

In a gloomy mood, she withdrew her hand and pounded on his shoulder

“So you worked with my parents to cheat me, and then you didn't tell me you knew what was going on. So, what? Were you ever going to tell me?

Or were you just sitting back, Laughing at my attempts to be a parent?”

“He's about as bad as Mom and Dad! They must be related!' she thought angrily.

Matthew knew that the girl would be angry, so he held her in his arms and comforted her.

"We just wanted to know if Ethan was really your kid. We didn't pry into anything else. Like this thing between you and

Tessie. I didn't touch that till you asked me.”

“Humph! Who knows! Maybe you already knew Tessie was lying to me, but you wouldn't tell me. You just pretended to investigate when I asked and just now let me know what you found out!" She knew better now.

She'd never believe Wesley, Blair and Matthew ever again!
