NovelEnglishChapter 1392 Back when Evelyn was alive, Thalassa had heard bits and pieces about a chance encounter Evelyn had with a stranger at a bar.
Evelyn had glossed over the details, as if reluctant to dwell on the memory of that man.
It was only now that Thalassa learned the full story of how her mother met that man years ago.
It turned out that it was her mother who had rescued Joshua from the clutches of a local tough.

Zephyr's voice was laced with a hint of sarcasm, “How many entanglements did you have in your youth, Joshua? You probably have so many kids out there you couldn't track them all down if you tried.” Thalassa felt a pang in her heart at Zephyr's words. She had been moved by Joshua's recollections of meeting her mother, but Zephyr's comment soured the moment, filling her with a sense of bitterness as she looked at Joshua.
Could it be that Joshua was a scoundrel like Bruce with a trail of women in his wake? She had always harbored a deep aversion to the word ‘father’, and the thought of Joshua being anything like Bruce was repulsive.
“Zephyr, you've gotall wrong. In my younger days, the only women in my life were my wife and that one tat the bar with Thalassa’s mother,” Joshua clarified, ensuring Thalassa heard him as well.
That night, it was Evelyn who had initiated their encounter, and Joshua had been drugged by slocal thugs.
Evelyn's actions were an attempt to save him.
“How can you be so sure she’s your daughter? Zephyr challenged, his voice sharp.
Zephyr never had a high opinion of Thalassa. To him, she was nothing more than a scheming, manipulative woman who clawed her way up using underhanded tactics and played people against each other - the very type he despised the most.
And now, Thalassa was about to leap to the status of Joshua’s daughter, a move that Zephyr couldn't stomach.
Thalassa felt a vice grip around her heart. Zephyr’s attitude was as repelling and hostile as ever. Even without directly saying it, his disdain for her was palpable.

“People can lie, but medical results don’t,” Joshua countered. He pulled out the paternity test from his pocket and showed it to Zephyr.
Pointing at the bold letters on the document, he said, “Ninety-nine percent probability of a father-daughter relationship. It’s in black and white. You can’t fake that.” Zephyr's gaze followed Joshua's pointing finger, and the words on the paper burned into his eyes like a searing flame.
Even if he didn’t want to believe that Thalassa was Joshua's daughter, the stark truth in front of him had left him no choice.
To Thalassa’s surprise, Joshua had been carrying the paternity test results with him all along.
