#Chapter 303: Come Around

Left alone in Nathan’s office, the air felt thick with unspoken words and lingering tension. Layla started to cry softly, her shoulders shaking with the weight of her vulnerability. “Olivia, I don't think Nathan wants to help me. What if he refuses to take the paternity test? What will I do then?” Layla's voice quivered, her eyes shining with unshed tears. I closed the distance between us, wrapping her in a comforting hug. “Listen,” I said. “Nathan will come around. He always does. He just needs some time to digest all this information. And honestly, if he doesn’t agree to take the test for whatever stupid reasons, I’ll personally drag him by the ear to the hospital.” Layla chuckled through her tears, wiping her eyes with the back of her hand. “You would do that?” “I doubt it’ll come to that,” I reassured her, “but yes, I absolutely would.” Layla gave me a weak smile, her eyes still glistening. “Thank you, Olivia. I really appreciate your support.”
