"What? You know I can fire you. I told you to spend a week with your wife. Did you want her to divorce you? Did you want to start living as a single dad? You are just a bit older than me, and you think of nothing other than being a single dad," Charlie's words cut through the tension, revealing his own frustrations and concerns as the situation spiraled further out of control.Leo's voice quivered with emotion as he confronted Charlie, laying bare his feelings of exclusion and hurt.

You just focus on getting better."Leo nodded in agreement, his eyes filled with concern. "Yes, Alice. We'll handle it.

The Unexpected Heir What's going on here
Michael's hand reached out, attempting to make a conciliatory gesture, but Charlie was too quick. He punched Michael's hand away, making him sit back in his chair with a thud.

"Why can't I get married again?" Alice's mother shouted, her voice echoing through the hospital room. "You're old enough to take care of yourself. You were once married, and now you're pregnant. You aren't a child anymore, Alice!"Charlie's face darkened, his eyes blazing with anger as he held Alice close, trying to shield her from her mother's hurtful words.

Charlie asked, his voice firm but laced with concern.The doctor nodded, a slight chuckle escaping his lips. "Well, the paternity test results for Kira Lauren are negative, which means Mr. Henry Lauren is not the father of Kira Lauren."The room fell silent, the weight of the words sinking in. Kira's eyes widened in shock, her face pale, before she collapsed to the floor, overcome with emotion.The doctor continued, his voice calm and professional. "However, the maternity test reveals that Sophia is indeed the mother of the patient, Kira."The room erupted into a mixture of gasps, tears, and stunned silence.

The Unexpected Heir Support
Charlie's grip on his fist intensified, his knuckles turning white with tension. "What if I am told I am not going to be present?" he questioned, his voice laced with defiance. The woman standing before him scoffed dismissively, her expression condescending. "Are you going to get people talking that you didn't attend your sister's?" she taunted. A wry smile tugged at the corner of Charlie's lips as he chuckled softly. "You know I never care about what anyone says," he declared with a hint of arrogance in his tone.
