?Chapter 809:
As soon as Marissa finished speaking, the room went dead quiet.
Connor stared at her, his mind a nk te. Words failed him.
Domenic stood there, speechless. Marc and Terry, eavesdropping on the conversation outside, looked as if the final curtain had fallen. It seemed like Connor and Marissa would never be an item.
Connor had the same thought. He didn’t mind being the two kids’ father, but he worried about how Marissa felt.
At that moment, he was anxious. He quickly went through the two reports again, not missing even the smallest details.
Eventually, he had to ept it—he was indeed the father of the two children.
But how could this be? The idea of him and Tiffany having two kids seemed like a wild fantasy.
???????? ?????????????? ???? ??????????????????.??????
His head was pounding, and his thoughts were all over the ce.
“Marissa,” he said, his voice trembling, “don’t worry. Just give me some time to think, okay?”
He thought Marissa would be just as rattled as he was. But she remained as cool as a cucumber, and he was the only one losing hisposure.
She met his gaze steadily and said, “I’m not worried. Take all the time you need. But I expect you to get to the bottom of this. And you owe Tiffany an exnation—she couldn’t just have two children for you out of thin air.”
Connor was taken aback. Marissa’s tone made it clear she wanted to seek justice for her sister, Tiffany.
In his panic, he felt even more helpless. From her look, it seemed she saw him as nothing more than a scoundrel who had fooled around with Tiffany and then walked away.
At the same time, he felt a pang of sadness.
He hadn’t expected Marissa to be soposed. Her calm demeanor only reinforced his belief that she didn’t harbor any feelings for him. If there was any love, she’d surely be angry, frantic, and even a bit jealous over this issue, rather than remain so serene.
But he had no grounds toin. He always knew she didn’t love him. He had been the one constantly pouring out affection, while she hadid out countless reasons for rejecting him.
So, he had no valid reason to hold it against her.
He let out a soft sigh, lowered his gaze, and fell into a brief silence. When he looked up at her again, he was entirelyposed.
Much like her, he was strong-willed. Though he might experience a moment of panic when faced with challenges, he could quickly regain his calm and tackle the issue at hand.
With a firm voice, he said, “Even though I don’t know why I’m the father, I assure you, I’ve never been with Tiffany. I’mpletely certain about that.”
Marissa cast her eyes downward in silence.
She did believe him. The twins were four years old, and he had seen the DNA test results. He had no reason to lie.
She trusted his confidence in himself. Connor was powerful and wouldn’t make such a mistake.
After a pause, she met his gaze again and said with calm determination, “Even though you’re certain there was no rtionship between you and Tiffany, the fact remains you have two children. As you mentioned earlier, they might have been conceived through technology.”
Connor pressed his lips together, nodding in agreement.
He had never been intimate with anyone, yet here he was with two children. They must have been conceived through some form of technology.
He wasn’t sure if they were born from another woman or Tiffany herself.
But he still couldn’t understand why the children carried his genes. His life had always been under his control, and no one could just take his genes. How could anyone create two kids with his DNA?
He voiced his confusion. “I’ve never lost control of my body. How could someone take my genes and create two children?”
Marissa slightly pursed her lips, unable to provide an answer.
She had no clue how his genes could have been taken.
At that moment, Domenic, who had been deep in thought, suddenly seemed to have a breakthrough. He spoke up. “Mr. Daniels, I remembered something…”
