100 Days to Seduce the Devil

Chapter 751  Confirming Mia's Identity

Day Seventy-Eight…

~~*****~~

Anticipation filled the room as the door swung open, a little figure rushing inside. Her eyes scanned the surroundings and her eyes sparkled with joy when she saw Jane.

"Mommy!" Mia called Jane with so much enthusiasm. She ran in her direction.

Everyone fell silent when the little girl made an appearance. They just observed her with amusement, watching her every single move.

Mia couldn't care less of their curious gazes as her attention was focused on Jane who was still in a daze. Mia reached her spot and pounced on Jane, hugging her.

"Mommy!" she mumbled again with longing. "I've missed you. Now, I can finally call you 'Mom'."

Jane didn't know how she would react. This little girl started calling her "Mommy". 'Is this for real? But things don't add up. The result of my ultrasound said I had a baby boy. Not a baby girl… Is this part of Vincent's scheme again?' Jane simply glanced at Vincent suspiciously. However, she was surprised to see the genuine smile on Vincent's face as he looked at them. It seemed like he was more than happy to see them reunited.

"She's my daughter's baby? My granddaughter?" Mr. Hiroshi finally spoke up, his eyes fixed on Mia. "Yes. She is," Vincent confidently and proudly declared.

Tatsumi and Kazuki exchanged glances with one another, confused and puzzled. They didn't know how to react when they finally met Mia. "Dad? What do you think? Do they have a resemblance?" Tatsumi asked his father in a whisper. Kazuki had seen Jane's little version.

Kazuki pursed his lips, thinking. After a short while, he bobbed his head. "I can see some resemblance. Look at them now. Same emerald eyes. But let's wait for the further confirmation. We will do a DNA Test right here and right now."

"Both Vincent and the child including Jane. Our medical team will take their blood samples and compare their DNAs with the child. We will keep an eye on the King. No one will be able to tamper the Maternity and Paternity result." Kazuki informed his son.

"I think… this is why our godfather invited Vincent here," he added.

"Dad… what happens if the DNAs matched?" Tatsumi asked his father again, still wondering what Mr. Hiroshi would do.

Mr. Kazuki took a deep sigh and responded, "He might change the groom." Tatsumi: "..."

Tatsumi was rendered speechless. 'Am I going to be stripped off of my fake fiancé status right away?'

But little did he know, his father was just kidding. He didn't know what Mr. Hiroshi was exactly planning to do.

Since Jane was still hesitant to welcome the idea of Mia being her daughter, she remained silent in her seat. She didn't know what to say to the child. But one thing was for sure– even though she resented Vincent, she didn't hate Mia. In fact, she felt sorry for the child. What if she was being used as a pawn by Vincent?

"Mia, is your name right?" Mr. Hiroshi engaged in a conversation with the little girl. He looked happy and excited. For some unknown reason, he could see Jane in her. This young girl had an uncanny resemblance to his daughter when she was still a child.

'Maybe Vincent is telling the truth. This little girl might be my real granddaughter. But how come Jane didn't mention anything about her child? And how did the two even meet?' Mr. Hiroshi realized that there were still lots of unanswered questions in his mind. But he couldn't confront Vincent and Jane at this moment because of Mia's presence.

"Yes, Pops! I'm Mia. And who are you?" Mia asked Mr. Hiroshi back. She smiled sweetly, maintaining her cheerful mood.

"I'm her father," Mr. Hiroshi softly responded.

Mia's eyes lit up when she heard that. "Oh! Then you are my grandpa!" The little girl released Jane and she moved in front of Mr. Hiroshi. She extended her small arms, asking Mr. Hiroshi's permission to give her a hug.

Her charm melted Mr. Hiroshi's heart right away. He let out a chuckle before hugging Mia. "You are so cute."

"Nice meeting you, Grandpa!" She even kissed his right cheek.

The atmosphere in the room became lively because of Mia's presence. Jane set aside her doubts for Mia's sake. She greeted the kid warmly.

"Are you tired? Do you want to rest for a while?" Jane asked Mia. She wanted to talk to Vincent and her father about Mia so she tried to find a reason for Mia to leave that room.

"I'm okay, Mommy. I don't feel tired especially now that I'm with you. I've been waiting for this moment to come. I finally introduce myself as your daughter. Uncle Vincent told me to be patient so I didn't reveal our relationship back then. He was worried that you won't accept me." Mia was being honest with them.

However, everyone was shocked when Mia called Vincent her Uncle. Both Mr. Hiroshi and Jane gave him a questioning look.

"I haven't told her yet… about her father," Vincent explained to them.

"Wait? Does she even know why she is here?" Jane wasn't able to hold herself. She felt like Vincent was playing a dangerous game with her. She didn't conceal her displeasure. "Mommy, please don't get mad at my Uncle. It's just that… I never asked him about my father… because I already have him. For me… Uncle Vincent is my father," Mia defended Vincent.

Jane just clenched her fists. 'Don't you dare manipulate even this child! I won't forgive you.' She glared at Vincent. n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Mia, you are going to stay here for a few days. Is it okay with you?" Mr. Hiroshi asked Mia, trying to divert everyone's attention. He could feel the growing tension between Jane and Vincent. His daughter seemed not happy at all for this sudden reunion.

"Yes, Grandpa! I would love that… As long as I can spend quality time with Mommy!"

"Ok, dear. But we, adults, still need to discuss something. Can you go with Uncle Kazuki for a while? He will give you a tour here." Mr. Hiroshi felt the need to clarify things between Jane and Vincent so he wanted to separate Mia from them for a moment.

Mia darted her gaze back and forth between Vincent and Jane. She was reluctant to leave but she could sense that the adults had important things to discuss among them.

"Okay. Grandpa. See you later." Mia obediently followed Kazuki.

The only people left in the room were Tatsumi, Vincent, Jane, and Mr. Hiroshi.

"Cough!" Mr. Hiroshi cleared his throat.

"I will be frank with all of you… the reason we are gathered here is to verify Mia's relationship with my daughter, Jane. We also need to conduct a paternity test between you. I will be overseeing the process. Later, we will get your blood samples and compare your DNAs with Mia." Mr. Hiroshi paused for a moment and glanced at his daughter. Jane stayed quiet, her face marked by a grim expression.

"I'll give you time to talk first. But after confirming Mia's identity, I want answers from both of you. Is that clear?" Mr. Hiroshi asked them both.

"Yes. Mr. Hiroshi." Only Vincent responded to him.

Mr. Hiroshi stood up, motioning for Tatsumi to follow him. "We are leaving. Make sure to talk."
