Esther received Gill's call. She said, "Mom, I have discussed it with Terence. When Terence is done with the work here, we will return to City R."
"Well, is that so?" Gill laughed dryly.
Hearing that, Esther asked with concern, "Mom, what's wrong? Is there no successful communication with dad?"
"Not really," Gill said.
Esther added, "Then..." Gill interrupted, "Well. Esther, why was Terence so resistant to paternity testing? Have you asked him?"
Esther was stunned. She did not expect Gill to ask this question. Moreover, Gill's tone was so serious. Could it be that even Gill began to doubt Terence's blood kinship?
"Mom, what do you mean?"
"Nothing. I just thought about it last night." Gill smiled and asked, "Have you asked him about it?"
Esther thought about it and replied, "Yes. Such behavior is a humiliation to his biological mother. He told it to you, right?"
"Yes, did he say anything else?"
Esther thought about it again. Then she shook her head. "No."
