"Last night, I got a call from Josie's biological mother. She told me she wants to reclaim custody of Josie."
The lively dining room instantly fell silent.
Everyone was in shock, momentarily forgetting their food.
Jaden was the first to react, quickly swallowing his bite and calmly asking, "Who are Josie's biological parents? Have we met them before?"
"Yes, we've met them," Avery replied as she leisurely cut her cake. "Josie's biological mother is Paityn, and her biological father is Damon."
Those who had just recovered from the initial shock were again stunned into silence.
Jaden maintained his composure. "How did they figure out Josie is their daughter?"
