Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 103

At the most critical moment, Miss Woods' came over t o help again. "You should walk more instead of being cooped up at home. Young Master, why don’t you go and take a walk with Young Mistress? She's been complaining about the pain on her feet and they're starting to look a little swollen.”

Theo, who was about to go upstairs, glanced at me and said, "Let me change my clothes first."

I looked down at my feet and whispered, "Miss Woods, my feet aren’t swollen."

"Silly, I’m just making up an excuse for you. Anyway, they'll get swollen in the future and I know you'll complain about the pain soon. Let this be a secret between us." After she said that, she gave me a wink and turned around to clean up the dishes.

Soon after, Theo had changed his clothes and he came downstairs. He looked at my feet and asked, "Is it really painful?"

I nodded guiltily and said softly, "It’s probably some built-up fluid. I can ice them later and they’ll be fine."

He furrowed his eyebrows, turned away slightly, and said faintly, "Let's take a walk outside.”

After he said that, he lowered his head and chose a

pair of flats for me. I put them on and went outside with him.

Outside, the sun was setting and the air was fresh. We rarely went out to take a walk together after dinner. It was nice.

Theo held my hand along the way and walked very slowly. He did not say anything as well, so I kept my mouth shut and quietly let him pull me forward.

At this time, not saying anything was better than having one of us speak. Although both of us were not talking, it felt warm and also very romantic.

Suddenly, the ringing of a phone broke the initial quietness.

It was my phone. Theo's eyebrows slightly narrowed and he seemed somewhat unhappy.

I took out my phone and saw that it was Xander calling. I could not help getting worried because if he was calling at this hour, it must mean there was trouble!

If I did not answer my phone now, I would be even more worried. Hence, I had no choice but to answer the call. I asked, "It's late. Why are you calling me at this hour?"
