Anna froze as she unfolded the paper in her hands. Her heart pounded violently in her chest.
The paternity test confirmed a biological match.
Her breath caught. Kyle wouldn't have done a test with me… so did he find his biological father?
While she was still trying to process the shock, she heard soft footsteps coming from upstairs.
Looking up, she saw her son slowly descending the staircase.
Anna quickly tucked the paternity test back into its envelope, forcing her expression to stay calm even as her fingers trembled slightly.
Kyle's gaze immediately fell on her hands. He already knew what she was holding.
Someone had called him the moment the results came out, and for days, the truth had weighed on him.
He had been debating whether to tell his mom but now that she'd found out, maybe it was time to be honest.
"Mom," Kyle said softly, walking over and sitting beside her on the couch.
Anna lowered her eyes, her hand clutching the envelope so tightly that it trembled.
