Chapter 376
In the afternoon, when the three kids had just returned from school, Yuna mysteriously summoned Teresa aside.
The sudden shift in demeanor made Teresa feel like a deer caught in the headlights.
What’s up with this old witch suddenly being so sweet? Yuna handed a handmade invitation to Teresa, her smile as
warm as a spring breeze as she looked at the little girl, “Teresa, tomorrow is Manley’s birthday. I formally invite you
and your parents to come and celebrate.”
Teresa coolly glanced at the invite, “I’m not going.”
Why would she go when it’s not Hayes’ birthday? No way!
Yuna, not giving up, tempted Teresa, “Hayes will also be celebrating his birthday tomorrow. He and Manley are
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇttwins, they always celebrate together.”
“What? Hayes and Manley are twins?”
Teresa’s surprise was so great she shouted out loud! How could Hayes and Manley be twins?!
It just so happened that Frederick returned from work then, seeing the two looking at each other in surprise, Teresa
with an incredulous look on her face.
Frederick, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, approached and asked, “What’s happening?”
Yuna, eager to show off in front of Frederick, hurriedly explained, “Freddie, tomorrow is Hayes and Manley’s
birthday. Teresa is close with both of them, so I invited her to join the celebration.”
Given the upcoming celebration, Teresa should look happy, so why did she seem so lost in thought?
Frederick lovingly pulled the little girl into his arms, asking gently, “What’s the matter, you don’t want to go?”
Teresa softly shook her head, “No, that’s not it. I’m just surprised that Hayes and Manley are twins. I thought Hayes
was the older one!”
Yuna’s heart skipped a beat, her legs going weak as she took a step back..
Manley, her prematurely birthed child, was a whole month younger than Hayes. But to secure Manley’s inheritance
rights, she had lied about him being born before Hayes!
But this little imp saw right through it!
“Why would you think that?” Frederick asked, puzzled.
“Their heights! Hayes is so much taller than Manley, I thought he was my age. I can’t believe I’m actually a month
older than him! And besides, Hayes and Manley don’t look alike at all, they don’t look like twins!”
Another bolt from the blue! Yuna struggled to keep her expression under control.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmShe glanced at Frederick and noticed that he seemed to take Teresa’s words to heart. Worried about being found
out, she quickly explained, “Teresa, Hayes and Manley are fraternal twins, that’s why they don’t look alike.”
Teresa rested her chin in her hand, deep in thought, “If that’s the case, you need to get Manley’s bone age tested.
If his bone age doesn’t match his actual age, you should start him on hormones as soon as possible, otherwise he’ll
be short when he grows up!”
The little girl’s earnest advice made Frederick chuckle. “How do you know so much at such a young age?”
Teresa proudly snuggled into the man’s face, grinning widely, “I read about it in a genetics book. Hayes’ Daddy, I
know lots of things, and I’m a child prodigy!”
She had read many genetics books before in her pursuit of becoming a portrait artist, “Hayes’ Daddy, you need to
pay attention to Manley’s situation!”
“I’ll keep your advice in mind, I’ll take Hayes and Manley to get their bone age tested.”
Yuna was taken aback. Testing bone age should just involve taking X-rays of the bones, right? It wouldn’t involve any
kind of paternity test… would it?
