No mother.
No security guards.
Lucas stared at him for a long moment.
“So…”
“Are you rich like a bank…”
“…or rich like a movie villain?”
Sebastian actually smiled.
“I really hope not the villain.”
Ethan asked whether he liked deep-dish pizza.
Then Sophie asked the question no adult wanted to hear.
“Why weren’t you there when we were born?”
Sebastian lowered his head.
“Because I didn’t know.”
“But I should have looked for your mom.”
“I should never have believed everything I was told.”
After the DNA samples were collected, he quietly showed Hannah something.
Phone records.
Every one of her eleven missed calls.
Then another document.
Hospital discharge paperwork signed by his mother, Margaret Carter.
Finally he spoke.
“Olivia admitted she accepted a package delivered to my office.”
“My ultrasound,” Hannah said.
He nodded.
“She claims she never opened it.”
Hannah unlocked her phone and showed him another message.
