Just as she was about to go, Benny reached out and ruffled Michael’s hair “Bye bye inte guy
“Bye–bye, Mr Lime Bye–bye, Mr. Bunny said Michael

Once Teresa was out of earshot, Benny turned to Jonathan and opened his pain, revealing of sters stand of tr He held it up in front of Jonathan. So, you’re really saying he’s not your sond Want me to gee a Tve already done it several times. He’s not mine Jonathan turned to leave, but Benny Solowed him
Benny said, “Hey, where are you running off to? Explain this to me How can he not be yours? He looks just like you And Teresa clearly treasures him
“The kid’s got to be around three years old. Did this happen before your divorce? Were you hiding this from me? her all the things I’ve done for you, you’re really going to keep secrets from me? We are friends, dray?
“If I’m that kid’s dad, I’ll soar to the moon, Jonathan said
Benny froze for a second, then clapped Jonathan on the shoulder. “Alright, slight hope you can
“Cut it out,” Jonathan said, brushing him off. “He’s not mine. Go do whatever it is you need to do. I’m busy!
But Benny wasn’t about to let him off the hook. “Wait a second. I just remembered–I’ve seen that kid before. Remember when I sent you that photo of a kid who looked just like you?
“I saw him on the street, but he had a dad with him, so I figured he wasn’t yours. But now I’mourous–who is the kid’s father? Tell me, and I’ll look into it.”
Jonathan had no interest in entertaining Benny’s nonsense. He got into his car
Still persistent, Benny called out, “How about this? Give me one of your hairs. I’ll do the DNA test myset fic notam I’ll drop it”
Just as Jonathan was about to start the car, Benny leaned against the passenger side window, grinning at him. “Come on don’t be like that. Just one hair. If it’s not a match, then fine. You’ve got nothing to lose.”
“I’ve already done three DNA tests with this kid. Three. It’s a fact. He’s not mine
“Why are you making such a big deal out of this? I’ve already told you. He’s not mine, Jonathan groaned, fred up the engine, and left Benny in a cloud of dust.
Benny stood there, hands in his pockets, watching Jonathan’s car disappear into the distance
“Three tests say no, but the kid’s face says yes. What’s the deal here? By the way, from the way he spoke, it seemed like he was really hoping that the child is his, he wondered.
“Heh, this is getting interesting. My dull life finally has some entertainment, Benny muttered, slipping Michael’s strand of hair into his phone case and pressing it down. Benny drove off shortly after.
Not long after Benny left, a white Mercedes–Benz C260 slowly pulled in. Jennifer had seen everything unfold
Jennifer’s eyes flashed with anger. She parked her car in the garage, went inside, and told Teresa, “Benny is suspicious about Michael.”
Teresa frowned, clearly irritated. “Let him do the DNA test if he wants. If I try to explain now, it’ll just make me look guilty. I m not going to dig my own grave.”
Jennifer snapped, “This is all your fault. Why did you have to parade Michael around?”
“Parade him? I took my son for a haircut, and that’s all. I barely take him out as it is. How was I supposed to know Jonathan would be there? Benny followed Jonathan’s car. It’s not my fault.” Teresa shot back
Teresa was tired of Jennifer’s constant nagging. She wasn’t someone to be pushed around.
“I’m not blaming you,” Jennifer said, “but you need to be more careful. If you really want to keep Michael’s identity hidden,
you can’t be this careless. Now Benny’s definitely going to do that DNA test”
