“Hold him firmly, don’t move.” He pressed her with one hand and prepared to pull his hair.
“Can’t you cut with scissors? He will cry if you pull it directly.” Penelope stopped him.
He snorted and said, “Can the scissors cut the hair, including the follicles?”
“Follicles?”
“The hair follicle is the target for the test. The hair is useless,” he said, glancing at his mother. “If I were not here today, all your efforts would be in vain.”
Penelope looked at old Mrs. Duncan; the latter turned her face away.
Warren pulled three hairs out of Chris’s head.
The baby frowned in his sleep as if about to cry.
“Don’t cry. Mommy is here,” Penelope whispered to him very gently.
Warren reached out and put his hand on her shoulder. Penelope moved away.
The three hairs were neatly packed, and Warren handed them over to the old lady. “You have collected it, and you won’t get another opportunity.”
The old lady nodded and said, “What about yours?”
Warren was speechless. The old lady urged, “Hurry up! I am waiting.”
“Let me pull it!” Penelope shouted from the back.
Warren glanced at her. Penelope took Chris to Mrs. Brown and rolled up her sleeves.
“Sit down.” She pressed his shoulder.
He sat down and watched her expression. She seemed to be going to avenge her son. Warren couldn’t help but laugh.
“Ouch… are you murdering your husband?” She pulled too hard, and he frowned.
“Hum.” Penelope didn’t stop and then pulled out two more hairs. She packed them in another bag and handed it to the bodyguard next to her.
Seeing this, old Mrs. Duncan was deep in thought. For more than 30 years, she had never seen Warren so relaxed.
This woman was so powerful that she could actually soften her son’s stone heart.
As soon as old Mrs. Duncan left, Penelope tried to beat him.
“You didn’t help me!”
Warren lay on the sofa and grabbed her hands.
Mrs. Brown and the butler left the house and took Chris to the yard.
Warren restrained her and made her unable to move.
“Woo… my son’s hair.” She looked down and wept.
“Just three hairs.”
“His hair is his most beautiful part. You pulled three, and it may take a long time to grow back!” She struggled in his arms.
Warren was helpless. He had to hug her and comfort her, “Children grow fast. Not to mention that he has lots of hair, three is nothing.”
“Hum… you said that you’d protect us. When your mother comes, you turn to her immediately. What kind of protection do you offer?!” Penelope cried.
When the old lady was there, she did not make an unreasonable scene. When she left, she vented everything on him.
He wiped her tears. “It’s because I want to protect you, so I let her do the paternity test.”
“What do you mean?”
“The last time you were angry with Kathrine because we didn’t have a legal relationship. This time, I let my mother do the test. With the results, she will not urge me to marry others, and your situation will be better. For the sake of her baby grandson, you will have a place in this home,” he explained patiently.
“Really?” She looked at him with tears on her face.
Warren kissed her nose and said, “Why would I lie to you?”
Penelope pouted and thought for a moment. She said, “Okay, I believe you.”
“You’re not angry now?” He smiled at her.
Penelope sniffled and got up. She took a tissue to blow her nose. Warren reached over her waist, but she escaped.
“Hey, I wanted to take you out to eat lobster, but you look so sad, so forget it,” he sighed and stood up to go upstairs.
Penelope’s eyes lit up. She threw the tissue away and quickly stood up. “Would you take me out to eat lobster?”
“It was my original plan.”
“What about now?”
“You look sad. I am afraid that you can’t eat it.”
“I don’t feel sad.” Penelope wiped her face and got close to him. “Look, my tears are gone.”
Warren tried to hold his smile back. He looked at her, “So?”
“Please take me out. I really want to eat.”
She held her hands together and said pitifully.
He smiled and reached for her waist.
“Really?”
Penelope took the initiative to put his hand on her waist, completely different from the treatment just now. She nodded vigorously, “Yes, yes.”
He lifted her up smilingly, her hands clasping his neck.
“I am always on your side; you have to remember.”
Penelope blinked and nodded seriously. “I know.”
“You treated me that way just now, why?”
“I didn’t feel comfortable.”
“Are you comfortable now?” He asked with a smile.
Penelope stretched out her head and put her head on his shoulder. “You cheer me up, and I am comfortable.”
“Good girl, that’s it.” He gently patted her hair and kissed her.
If you are angry, I will cheer you up. Then we can carry on together sweetly.

When old Mrs. Duncan got the result of the paternity test, she immediately went to Warren’s house and rushed directly to baby Chris’s cradle. “Oh, my grandson, my little baby…”
She held Chris and kept calling him my baby, which really shocked Penelope. This… what was going on?
Now, the old lady looked at Chris like she was looking at an angel sent from heaven. She thought he was the most beautiful baby in the world, and she loved him.
“He is hungry. Please give him to me first.” Penelope gestured with a bottle.
The old lady looked at Penelope with a look of dissatisfaction. “Why don’t you breastfeed? That is more nutritious. How do you take care of your child?”
Penelope explained awkwardly, “My… there is too little milk. It is not enough for him to drink, so he has been drinking milk powder. In fact, the milk powder is quite nutritious. The doctor also thought so.”
The old lady was still dissatisfied. “How did you build yourself up when you were pregnant? Didn’t you eat enough?”
So her grandson couldn’t even drink breast milk?
Penelope’s endurance had reached its limits. She smiled slightly and “took” Chris from old Mrs. Duncan and said, “This is not your business. My son and I are healthy enough.”
