Chapter 129: Trigger word? Yes!
"How couldn’t that be? You know me. I am not short of being a ruffian. I never dealt with women closely before. Maybe I never realized but something that I have done must have made Helena not like me?" Merlin continued his pessimistic thoughts.
Dawn really wanted to cry now. "Boss!! What are you talking about? Just think of all the times you had met Miss Helena before. When had she not smiled happily when she talked to you? She even addressed you as her brother before even knowing the relationship between you two. This is fate bringing you two together all along. So, please give Miss Helena some time so she can think of how to bring this topic with you, okay?"
"Huh?" Merlin looked at him in a daze for a second before he recovered. "You mean she is just thinking about how to bring the topic up with me? Yes, you are right. According to her, I don’t know anything about this DNA test. I would be shocked no matter how she brings the topic up, right? Yes. Yes. That’s it. Will she think that I was angry for going behind my back to get my DNA sample? But I am not angry with her. But how to tell her that?"
"Uhh..." Dawn was stumped by his boss’s strange thought process. He sighed to himself for the umpteenth time before saying, "Boss, we don’t have to tell her anything right now. Once Miss Helena decides to speak with you, then you can say whatever you want. Until then, we just have to wait."
"Wait? Yes. I have to wait." Merlin nodded. His eyes subconsciously fell on his phone on the desk. He had a face of crying as he took the phone into his hand and said, "But it is very difficult to wait. I never knew that waiting was this tough. Why is it like this?"
"Umm..." How should Dawn answer that? He doesn’t know. So, he decided to keep mum.
Merlin wasn’t exactly expecting an answer from him either. He was just expressing his frustration regarding the matter.
So he placed the phone back on the desk and closed his eyes. ’Out of sight, out of mind.’

Vernon was sitting in his room. He thought of the day’s events.
He couldn’t help but recall how happy Helena was when she found the DNA results.
Her smile widened so much, and her cheeks flushed in excitement. Her eyes were so bright that they could fill the entire universe within them.
