Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1

"You are seven weeks pregnant."

When the obstetrician handed over the pregnancy report to me, I had zero sense of joy within me.

How did it happen so easily?

If Theo Grant knew, would he not be willing to divorce anymore?

No, he would hate me even more for trying to use a child to tie him down.

"The first three months are crucial. Watch your diet, avoid having intercourse..." The doctor's words brought me back to reality. I put away the report into my bag and left the hospital.

I was in no mood to work anymore, so I decided to just go back to the villa.

The villa was huge, but it was quiet all year long. Theo left early and came back late. Even if he was at home, he would stay in his study or his bedroom. I had no permission to enter either of these rooms.

But, Theo was at home today. He sat on the sofa in the living room. He had a cold gaze, high nose bridge, and perfectly thin lips. Even his side view was always so handsome and perfect.

God really blessed this man. He had looks and money.

Despite noticing me coming, he continued reading his book with his head lowered, and asked coldly, "I heard you went to the hospital?"

"I was feeling unwell.” I was used to being silent, but would still reply when talked to.

He raised his head and looked at me, eyes full of indifference, and was displeased.

"I'm alright now, it won't affect my work." I was sure what he was displeased about, the company had a lot o f work during this period, so it really wasn't the time for me to fall sick.

He did not speak anymore and lowered his head to continue reading. After a long time, he finally spoke," You'll be fully responsible for choosing the product ambassador this time."

Theo was already a man of few words, and was like that to me too. Other than work, he did not banter.

"Yes." I replied gently. I would accept whatever he assigned me, it had become a habit.

The two did not speak, and the atmosphere in the living room was so silent it was bizarre.

"Theo Grant!" Tugging at the report in my bag, after thinking for a while, I finally mustered the strength.
