He Chose Another Heir Now He Wants Me Back Chapter 25
The hallway lights illuminated the gray at his temples.
Six years ago, Luca had been the youngest underboss in Rossi family history. Everyone said he was cold, ruthless, and even better suited to the position than his father had been.
Now he was thirty-four, and there was gray in his hair.
“Who is the child’s father?” I asked.
He was silent for a long time.
“She won’t say. I investigated everyone who came into contact with her that night, and I checked the original hospital records. But I never ordered a second bloodline test.”
His voice dropped.
“Because the first result was already in the family bloodline registry. To publicly question it would have meant admitting I might have placed a child of unknown origin in the heir’s position. I chose to defend my own judgment.”
“So for six years, you would rather trust one report than verify it again.”
“Yes.”
He offered no excuses.
“Luca.”
It was the first time in six years I had used his first name.
