My coldhearted ex demands a remarriage

Chapter 614:

From his pocket, he produced a sleek black card, pressing it into her hand. “This is for you. Buy whatever your heart desires.” The card gleamed, its weight familiar. Kristopher had given her the same type before—unlimited.

Reece stepped forward, holding out a car key. “This is my gift to you,” he said with a soft smile.

Their gestures were so generous, so open, that Carrie couldn’t help but feel both touched and cautious. She met their eyes, her voice steady as she asked the question lingering in her mind. “Have you done a DNA test to confirm the relationship?”

The group of men, normally decisive and commanding in public, found themselves completely out of their depth as they stood before Carrie.

Luca shot a pointed look at Kody, dissatisfaction clear in his tone. “I told you there was no need for a paternity test. How could there possibly be a mistake?”

Kody, caught off guard, struggled to respond. “Well…”

Before he could finish, his son Reece chimed in with a smirk, “Dad, this really is your fault.”

Kody turned to glare at his son, a sharp, sidelong glance that made Reece quickly step back, raising his hands in mock surrender.

Luca turned back to Carrie, his voice cautious yet sincere. “Carrie, please don’t take offense at all this. I just…”noveldrama

Carrie’s lips curved into a faint smile, her tone calm. “I’m not upset. I just think that, given the significance of this discovery, it’s important to confirm everything about our bloodline.” Her words, though gentle, were laced with undeniable logic. For the Morrison family, obtaining her DNA wouldn’t have been a challenge. Daxton, who often saw her, could have easily taken a strand of her hair.

Matters of blood relations required certainty, and Carrie wasn’t one to overlook such details.

Luca, sensing her thoughts, quickly added, “What’s so valuable about it? You’re the pride and joy of our Morrison family. Whatever you want, we can give it to you.”

He paused, then elaborated, “And just so you know, we didn’t invade your privacy. Kody arranged the test using my DNA and your grandfather’s. Your grandfather had donated blood years ago, and Daxton retrieved a sample from the hospital. The results confirmed he’s my younger brother.”

Carrie nodded in understanding, her doubts fading. “So that’s how it is.”

Reece, sensing the tension ease, grinned and gestured toward the chairs. “Grandpa, Dad, let’s all sit down. Carrie’s been standing this whole time—she just got off a plane!”

Luca glanced behind Carrie, noticing she didn’t have any luggage with her. “Where’s your luggage? Never mind, it doesn’t matter. Reece can take you shopping for new things later.”

Carrie shook her head politely. “That won’t be necessary. I’m here in…”

Isonridge for work, overseeing the students’ studies. Staying here at home might be inconvenient.”

Her hesitation wasn’t just about practicality. Moving directly into the Morrison family home felt abrupt and presumptuous. This was their first meeting, after all, and they were only distant relatives.

Back in Orkset, Carrie rarely interacted with relatives. Most of the ones on her father’s side were as eccentric as Tristan. Daxton, standing nearby, broke the silence. “Mr. Morrison, the teacher Carrie’s company hired is Jenesis.”
