CHAPTER 36
Unpleasing Tests and Paternal Bonds

Blake's POV

"Wakey, wakey Blakey!" I heard Lynne's voice.

"Wakey, wa–"

"Don't say that again." I mumbled, interrupting her before wrapping my arms around her waist and pulling her towards me. She let out a loud squeal as she fell on top of me and I smiled, still keeping my eyes closed.

"Let go of me, you idiot!" She yelled.

"Is it always this hard to wake him up?" I heard another voice and my eyes snapped open.

"Dad?" I asked, sitting up straight. He gave me a smile and I quickly let go of Lynne before she got up, giving me a glare.

"Will you be staying for breakfast, Marc?" Lynne asked my dad and he nodded with a polite smile.

"Great! I'll go let the maids know." She said before exiting the room.

As soon as she was out, he turned to me.

"We have an appointment at the hospital for the DNA test."

"Right. That was today." I mumbled, getting up from the bed.

"You didn't tell her." He said.

"Well, it's not the most fun conversation to have." I said before entering the bathroom and slamming the door shut.

After coming back out, I walked to the dining room where Lynne and my dad sat, laughing about something.

"How come I've never heard of the time you peed on your maid's face?" Lynne asked as I entered the room.

I rolled my eyes before sitting down next to her and her smile dropped seeing my expression. My dad and Lynne didn't say anything for the rest of the meal as we ate in silence.

After breakfast, my dad and I were about to leave when Lynne called me. My dad gestured me to go to her before he exited the house.

"Are you alright?" She asked and I nodded my head.

"You're not. You've been upset ever since you realized your dad was there." She said, stepping closer to me and slowly caressing my cheek.

"I'm fine. It's just the whole thing about the divorce." I lied and she nodded before standing on her toes and placing a kiss on my cheek.

"Have fun on your father's and son's day out." She said and I chuckled at my dad's lame excuses.

"I'm sure I'll have a lot of fun." I said and she placed one more kiss on my cheek before I walked away.

By the time I got out, my dad was already waiting for me in the car. I entered the backseat and sat next to him.

"Blake, whatever the results ar–"

"I know, you'll still be my father."

"Exactly." He said as the driver started the car.

"So, when will the results come?" I asked.

"In around a week maybe." He said and I nodded.

Once we reached the hospital, I stood aside as my dad talked to the receptionist.

"You can wait here. I have some papers to fill." He said before entering a room as I stayed in the waiting area.

A curious frown appeared on my face when I saw a familiar figure walk towards the water cooler. I walked in that direction, getting close until I confirmed who it was.
