If Eliana and Erdin's DNA test results were indeed a match, the conclusion was that Yvette and Cliff had deliberately deceived her. Furthermore, the most important thing was to learn that Callum was Eliana's biological father and that he should marry her. It was no wonder Callum had been so kind to her, even though they had only known each other for a few days. Moreover, Eliana seemed to really like Callum. Since their trip back to their residence, Eliana had been recounting her experiences with Callum throughout the day.
When Edith wanted to put her little daughter to bed, she couldn't bear to stop her daughter from constantly telling her about Callum's good deeds. If she had married Callum, would Eliana have been happier?
"My daughter, it seems like you really like Uncle Callum. You haven't stopped talking about him."
Eliana nodded. "I really like Uncle Callum. He looks just like my dad."
"If Uncle Callum wasn't your father, but Cliff was, would you accept Cliff as your father?"
"No way. I don't want Uncle Cliff."
"Why? Isn't he no different from Uncle Callum?"
"I don't like Uncle Cliff. Uncle Callum knows exactly what I like. Besides, Uncle Callum is funnier than Uncle Cliff."
"But-"
"Mom, I don't care if Uncle Cliff is my real dad or not. I want to live with Uncle Callum. Since I have Uncle Callum now, my life has become happier."
For the first time, Edith witnessed her daughter's spoiled and stubborn behavior. Should she stop testing her daughter's answers? She herself still wanted to do a DNA test first. If Eliana and Erdin were proven to be her children, she would marry Callum.
"Okay, I'm determined to marry him when I'm ready."
Eliana immediately hugged his mother tightly. "I love you so much, Mom."
Edith kissed her daughter's forehead. "Me too, my daughter. You should go to sleep first. Aren't you excited to play with your favorite uncle tomorrow?"
The next day, Edith spent her first holiday with her daughter at the home of a single father. Edith loved seeing her daughter smile constantly as she interacted with Callum. Indeed, doing a DNA test was the right choice. Callum also allowed the test to be done for him. Callum wanted to prove to Edith that he was indeed her missing lover.
"Callum, would you mind lending me your toothbrush for a DNA test?"
"Because I'm willing to bet on you. If the DNA test results show that our child and I match, then I'll have to take responsibility."
Edith looked down shyly, brushing a strand of hair behind her ear. "You seem to be more confident than me."
"Because I can't wait to live with the woman I love the most all this time."
"Mom!" Eliana called, running to her.
"What is it, my daughter?"
"I want to snack on cookies with Erdin, is that okay?"
Callum smiled brightly as he crouched down in front of his little girl. "Would you like me to make this for you?"
"Of course. I really like Uncle Callum's cookies, they're delicious."
Edith looked at Callum with a twinkle in her eye. "How about I make some cookies too?"
Callum moved his lips closer to the red lips in front of him. "I don't mind making cookies with you."
During the cookie-making process, Edith felt a familiar feeling. Her heart pounded as she made cookies with Callum. Especially now that their faces were so close, her heart swelled with confidence, believing Callum was her long-lost husband. Callum's kindness to her and his apparent genuine affection for her made her begin to like him.
"Edith, it looks like you forgot to add sugar to the batter."
Edith rolled her eyes and slapped her forehead. "Gosh! I think I'm really senile now."
Callum burst out laughing, wrapping his arms around his girlfriend's waist. This time, he didn't care that their children would witness this scene. He wanted to prove that he was the most worthy of marrying Edith.
"You're so cute, Edith."
Edith's cheeks grew hotter. "Callum, even though the DNA test results aren't out yet, you're so bold to sweet talk me."
"Because I'm willing to bet that I'm the father of twins."
"Thank you for making Eliana happy yesterday. It was the first time I'd seen my daughter so happy playing with someone she'd just met. It turns out that you are indeed a good father."
A beaming smile lit up his handsome face. "Really? Was it Eliana who told you that?"
"Of course. She couldn't even sleep last night because she couldn't wait to play with you today."
"Erdin often tells you about it, too. He says he can't wait to get home from school so he can play with you. Plus, you always bake him delicious cookies." Callum laughed playfully, stroking his ex-girlfriend's cheek. "Even though you made a little mistake earlier."
"I didn't do it on purpose," Edith rolled her eyes as she touched her cheeks covered in cookie dough. "Callum, you're such a mischievous guy! Should I punish you?"
"How do you intend to punish me?"
Edith averted her eyes, her gaze now fixed on her twins, who were playing tag. "Kids, you better stop playing tag for now!"
"How about we play tag in the park? It's more spacious there," Callum suggested, staring at his beloved with sparkling eyes.
"But, isn't it really hot outside now? It's better if they just play inside."
"It's okay. If the kids prefer to play outside, we should just let them."
Edith knew what Callum wanted right now. By banishing their child from playing outside, Callum could do whatever he wanted to her.

Meanwhile, in another luxurious residence, Cliff smiled slyly as he stared at his pre-wedding photo from five years ago. He felt like victory was in his hands now. However, had his philandering attitude changed? Even now, he was still having affairs with other women. When a sexy woman entered his house, he immediately approached her and attacked her sexy lips with gusto. The woman's name was Arabella, and she was thoroughly enjoying Cliff's current steamy game. She was also satisfied watching Cliff and Edith's relationship broken at the hotel.
