Aveline looked at him, unsure, and hesitated before speaking. "Maybe... we should do a paternity test?"

"No, no need for that. You are my daughter, just look-look how much you resemble your mother!" Wilfried shook his head immediately, quickly walking over to a photo, and pointing at the woman in the picture. Aveline walked over and looked at the woman in the photo. The face was unfamiliar to her, but she could see the clear resemblance. Especially in the eyes-soft, gentle, and serene, just like hers. Pressing her lips together, Aveline turned to Wilfried. "Let's do the test anyway. I don't want any issues later."

Gavin then spoke up. "Dad, let's do it. Once it's done, we won't have to worry about this again."

Gernard said nothing, his gaze complicated as he looked at Aveline. He couldn't even face her properly. He had spent so much time trying to convince her to divorce Lucas, all to help Juliet. He felt like a complete fool.

Aveline turned to Gavin, who said, "Hello, I'm Gavin. You should... call me brother."

Aveline's lips moved, and she softly called, "Brother."

For the first time in years, a smile appeared on Gavin's usually stern face. "Hmm."
