Maybe he was, for a while—until Audrey, out of curiosity, ordered a DNA test from an ancestry website.
Just for fun.
Greg ran a hand through his hair, equal parts angry and stunned. “She found out the truth last month and demanded answers. Callie panicked. That’s when she sent the photo.”
I sank into a chair. “So she knew all this time and never told you?”
“She said she thought she was protecting everyone,” he replied. “But Audrey isn’t just a secret on paper. She’s real. And she looked at me like she’d been waiting her whole life.”
Callie wanted Audrey to meet him—but she didn’t want her husband to find out. She was scared. Audrey was angry too, but she wanted answers, and she wanted them from Greg.
My chest tightened. “Is she yours?”
“I took a DNA test that same day,” he said. “Mailed it right after I left the café. Audrey took one too. We’ll get the results soon, but honestly… I don’t need them. I saw it in her face.”
I rubbed my temples. “Do you still have feelings for Callie?”
