Chapter 19 Linda Calls Gianna Mommy, the Whole Family Is Shocked 2
Gianna and Paisley both froze.[]
Rodrigo’s eyes narrowed even more, and he kept turning his head.[]
What did she shout?
Mommy!
Who did you call?
Was it Gianna?
Linda instantly remembered what Gianna said.]]
In the Salazar family, you just couldn’t reveal your identity no matter what.[]
།
The next second, Linda’s eyes instantly filled with tears. She lifted her little head and started crying out loud, “Mommy, Mommy, I want Mommy, I want Mommy…”
Kids at this age called out mom without thinking when they were in danger and started crying.]
Even adults would call out Mom first when they were scared.
Linda smartly took advantage of this.
Rodrigo walked over with big steps, Gianna just snapped out of that Mommy and was about to check on Linda when her arm was grabbed hard. Rodrigo saw Gianna’s reddened hand and his face turned dark right away. He shot a sharp look at Paisley.]
The one who seemed scared was Paisley. Her face went pale, her shoulders hunched up, and when she realized what happened, she hurriedly asked, “Gianna, are you okay?”
Gianna’s hands were already fair, but now they got scalded by the hot water and turned a glaring
Rodrigo didn’t say a word and dragged Gianna to the bathroom.[]
“Mya, hold Linda and go flush her.“]
Mya Juarez came over right away and took Linda to the bathroom. The hot water splashed onto Linda’s leg, and Mya felt pain just watching it.
Paisley was still standing there and forgot to move for a moment.]
Rodrigo just gave that look…]
Was he feeling sorry for Gianna and… blaming her?]]
Rodrigo grabbed Gianna’s hand, turned on the faucet, and quickly ran cold water over it.[]
The cold water hit Gianna’s burning skin, and Gianna shivered all over.[]
Rodrigo felt her slight tremble, stared at her hand, squinted his eyes, and didn’t know what he was thinking.
Gianna bit her lip, the cold water eased the pain, but it couldn’t ease the tension in her heart.[]
Gianna’s heart had never beaten this fast before.
Linda shouted, Mommy!
Although Linda reacted smartly and got away with it by using the fact that when kids are in danger and cry, the first thing they do is look for mommy.[]

Gianna couldn’t be sure this would fool Rodrigo.]
Rodrigo’s hand kept holding Gianna’s arm, and all he could hear was the sound of rushing water. Seeing that stubborn patch of red, Rodrigo just got angrier and angrier for no reason.[]
After rinsing for a while, Gianna didn’t feel that much pain anymore. She pulled her arm back a bit, “I’m good now.“[]
Rodrigo turned off the water and looked back at Gianna, “Are you stupid? You used your hand to catch such hot water?”
Gianna looked at Rodrigo’s dark face and didn’t know why he was angry. It wasn’t like it burned him.[]
Gianna shook her hand and muttered softly, “It’s not hurting you, so why are you so worked up?“]
“What did you say?“]
Gianna looked up at Rodrigo’s handsome dark face and said, “I’m saying I knew the water was hot. Kids have delicate skin. If she got burned, it’d be worse than me. I saw it, so of course I couldn’t let her get hurt.“[]
Gianna, that explanation made sense. Anyone with a bit of kindness would’ve tried to stop what just happened.[]
Rodrigo squinted at the woman in front of him, thinking of what Linda said, “Mommy.“[]
That word “mommy” could be a kid instinctively calling for their mom when they’re in danger, or it could be them forgetting to pretend and blurting out their real relationship when something bad happened.[]
If it really was the latter, then Gianna was Linda’s mother. Linda showed up at the auction house, drew his car, and then showed up at the hotel as a suspected hacker–these all seemed to make sense.[]
Rodrigo pressed his thin lips together, his gaze on the woman grew more intense. He stared at her for a while without saying a word, but inside, his heart was already in turmoil.
If Linda really was Gianna’s child.[]
So that was his kid.[]
Of course, these were just guesses. Without any evidence, Rodrigo didn’t dare to get his hopes up.
The most direct way to find out was a paternity test![]
Gianna’s eyelashes fluttered a little. She looked at Rodrigo’s deep, dark eyes. There seemed to be a layer of mist in those eyes, so she couldn’t tell what he was thinking.
“Rodrigo, Gianna, are you guys okay?” Paisley’s worried voice came from outside.
At that moment, when Gianna heard this voice, it sounded fake and hateful.[]
Gianna just saw it clearly. Paisley looked like she accidentally bumped into the kettle while grabbing something, but actually, she did it on purpose and was aiming right at Linda.[]
Gianna clenched her hand at her side, opened the door and went out, staring at Paisley.]
Paisley looked at her timidly, her eyes full of tears and apology, “I’m sorry, it’s all my fault, I accidentally knocked over the kettle. Gianna, are you okay? Do you need to go to the hospital?“]
“Not on purpose?”
Gianna’s clear eyes quietly stared at Paisley.
Paisley dodged twice and looked at Rodrigo who walked out from behind, her eyelashes fluttering, “Rodrigo, I really didn’t mean to…”
As she spoke, Paisley lowered her head in guilt, looking like she was about to cry.
Rodrigo didn’t notice what happened at that moment, he just saw Gianna rush over without hesitation to protect Linda.

At that moment, he narrowed his eyes at Paisley.
Gianna walked up and grabbed Paisley’s hand. “Paisley, you really didn’t do it on purpose? What a coincidence, you just happened to bump into the kettle, and the kettle fell toward the kid. That was freshly boiled water, you know. Such a little kid–did you think about what would happen if it spilled on her?”
Paisley sure knew the consequences.
She did it that way because she knew.[]
She was just being mean and wanted to hurt Linda, just because Linda had just spoken up for Gianna, she held a grudge and wanted to make Linda suffer.
You could even hurt such a little kid.]
Gianna’s eyes were full of anger.]
Paisley naturally wouldn’t admit it.[]
She kept shaking her head, looking at Gianna like an innocent princess looking at an evil old witch.[]
“Are you saying I did it on purpose? I didn’t! I really didn’t, it was an accident, I had nothing against that kid, why would I hurt her.“]
“Really?” Gianna looked up. The Salazar family’s living room had cameras. She pointed at the cameras, “If that’s the case, do you dare to check the footage with me?”
