It seems my mom and dad went to the clinic and confirmed that the child was indeed Chloe's, and Dr. Miller really did help Chloe with the delivery.
But I just couldn't understand why they kept bothering me.
"Mom, what does this child have to do with me? I didn't give birth to him!"
"Right now, the most important thing is to find the child's biological father. Anyway, I have to go to work, gotta hang up!"
After hanging up, I went to work as usual. As soon as I sat down, Brenda from the office secretly came over and whispered: "Aria, do you have a boyfriend? Want me to set you up with someone?"
I was about to decline, but then I had a change of heart.
"Sure, Brenda, who are you setting me up with?"
"My nephew. He's three years older than you, was in the military, and after he retired, he opened a small restaurant. He's honest and hardworking!"
"How about we all have lunch together and you meet him?"
I immediately agreed. Brenda was so happy she couldn't stop smiling and quickly pulled out her phone to call her nephew.
In my previous life, raising the child alone had exhausted me. Brenda saw it and helped me find a lot of side jobs, always urging me to find a dependable man.
But back then, I was afraid the child would suffer if I dated, so I never dared. Looking back now, I was truly foolish.
At lunch, I met Leo. We chatted during the meal, and I felt good about him.
We added each other on SnapChat and decided to see how things went for a while.
Brenda came back and asked how it went. I nodded: "He seems nice. We'll try it out."
She clapped her hands in delight: "I knew it! If it works out, he'll definitely treat you well! I've watched that boy grow up, he's hardworking and has a good heart!"
I felt a little embarrassed, my face flushing, which only made Brenda even more excited.
From then on, Leo and I started dating. Half a month later, my parents hadn't contacted me, and I hadn't gone home either.
Unexpectedly, my mom actually showed up directly at my company.
I was busy that day when the security guard suddenly called: "Aria, come down quick! Your mom just dumped a kid in our guard booth! He's screaming his head off, come get him!"
My mind went blank: "What kid? I'm not married, where would I get a child? Don't talk nonsense!"
I deliberately spoke loudly so the entire office could hear me.
The security guard helplessly said: "How should I know? Just come down and see for yourself!"
As soon as he hung up, everyone stared at me.
"Aria, what's wrong?"
"Not sure. The security guard said someone pretending to be my mom dropped a baby at the entrance!"
Brenda gasped in surprise: "There's such a thing? That's ridiculous! Come on, let's go see together!"
"Yeah, is someone trying to extort you or what?"
"Aria has a kid? I never saw her pregnant!"
"Could she have secretly had a baby years ago? Who knows what these young people do nowadays!"
Hearing these words, even Brenda started looking at me strangely.
I feigned a clueless expression, pretending I knew nothing, and she couldn't spot any flaws.
At the guard booth, everyone was stunned when they saw the infant.
Brenda breathed a sigh of relief: "How is this possible! Aria gave birth to this? This baby isn't even a month old!"
"Exactly! If he were any older, Aria would be tainted forever!"
"This is just plain immoral, trying to frame someone?"
"This is ruining someone's reputation!"
I scoffed internally. The security guard also shook his head: "That person said she was your mom; how dare I stop her!"
I immediately said: "Check the surveillance cameras! I want to see who did this!"
Looking at the footage, I didn't recognize the person who brought the child.
I immediately made up my mind: "Call the police! That's not my mom at all, and I don't know that woman either!"
Everyone was still a bit hesitant, so I spread my hands: "This is an abandoned infant! I work in sales; I've handed out hundreds of business cards. Who knows who might impersonate my family? I don't want to take the blame for raising someone else's child!"
At that, everyone agreed, and the police were called. When the police arrived, they took the child.
I even specifically asked: "Where will this child go?"
"Where else? If we can't find the biological parents, he'll have to go to the foster care."
Hearing that, a huge weight lifted from my heart.
In this life, I would absolutely never again raise a child for that ungrateful wretch!
