The Bound Between Us

Chapter 379

Anastasia clutched the little girl’s hair and made a beeline for the DNA testing center.

The paternity test results would take about a week to come out.

On their way back to Harmony Meadows, Monica asked, “Ana, what do you think about this little girl? If she turns out to be your daughter, are you going

Anastasia leaned back in the car seat, recalling the little girl’s defiant behavior. “The kid’s got issues,” she said. “She’s a handful.”

“I’m utterly stunned,” Monica admitted. “This kid isn’t even five yet. She’s way too terrifying. They say you can tell what a child will be like when they grow up by the time they’re three. If she’s like this now, what will she be like when she’s older?”

Anastasia sighed. “I know. If she’s my daughter, I guess I’ll just have to bring her home and try to correct her behavior. What a child turns out to be depends on how their parents guide them.”
