Chapter 967

Chapter 967 Unspoken Bonds The manipulation of their child's life was a line no relationship could endure.

He might disregard her dignity, he might disregard her love, but the lives of their children could never be used as bargaining chips between them.

Damien narrowed his eyes. “Lucy, believe there might be a misunderstanding between you and Lennon...” “There is no misunderstanding!” Taking a deep breath, Lucy placed the DNA testing application on the coffee table with purpose. “Regarding the child you mentioned, Alexis, I suggest you go for a DNA test for him and Sebastian. Relying solely on your assumptions is insufficient; a scientific DNA test will provide you with the desired results.” With that, Lucy turned around, readying herself to leave.

But as she rose from her seat, a commotion outside drew their attention.

Damien looked up to see Cherise bringing her two children and Alexis out of the car.

Serafina cared greatly for her new younger brother always by Alexis’s side, tending to his needs.

On the other hand, Soren seemed distant towards Alexis, but Damien could discern that his son, despite his outward coldness, harbored a warmth towards Alexis and didn’t outright reject him.

“Is that Alexis?" Lucy's gaze lifted to observe the child guided by Serafina, slightly shorter than Soren but equally sharp. “He’s quite handsome.” “Mm.” Damien's brow furrowed as a sudden thought struck him, prompting him to turn to Lucy. “I have a question for you.” “In what situation would the father and mother’s names be left blank in the hospital after a child is born?” “Left blank?” Lucy paused, contemplating for a moment.

“Perhaps it's a child that neither the father nor the mother wants.” Looking at Alexis outside, she added, “The child you mentioned that neither parent wants, it's him?” “He does seem rather pitiable.” After a brief pause, Lucy lowered her head with a faint smile. “Are you truly considering adoption?” she inquired softly.

“Even though we've taken on the role of his godparents, that's the extent of our involvement.” Damien's smile was gentle.

“I've heard... about your situation with having children of your own.” “If you feel drawn to this child...” Lucy's tone shifted, a touch of bitterness edging her words. “There's no need for me.” She narrowed her eyes, contemplating her independence. “I'm accustomed to it.” “And it seems he’s formed a strong bond with Sera and Ren.” Lucy's gaze lingered on the children.

“Why would he choose someone like me, who's never experienced motherhood and lives such a nomadic life?” She exhaled deeply, then turned to Damien with resolve. “Please, don’t inform Lennon of my return.” “Not a word.” “Otherwise, even if Cherise faces trouble in the future. A won't return.” Damien nodded in tacit agreement, his expression thoughtful.

“But... as for you and Lennon...” Lucy's eyes closed briefly. “It's not a viable option.”

“Not every relationship can be salvaged.” She opened her eyes her tone firm.There aren't many women like Cherise, nor men like you.”

“I'm embracing my freedom now, without the need to endure a man who's only bring me pain.” She shook het head. “Besides...” Her lips curved into a disdainful expression.

“I have no desire to deal with another boyfriend's sister like Violet. It's too distasteful.” With her backpack in hand, Lucy rose to her feet, ready to depart.
