Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1033

The man then hummed indifferently before hanging u p the phone.

He put the phone aside and was a little stunned when he saw me staring at him. Then, he asked me calmly," Are you unwell?”

I shook my head. "I'm fine."

My body just felt limp and my head was dizzy. I would not consider it as being unwell.

I looked out the car window and asked faintly, "Where are you taking me?”

He probably did not have a property in Hommiton City, so he must be taking me to a hotel.

Theo did not answer the question and merely said, " Close your eyes and rest if you feel unwell."

I pursed my lips and cast my mind back to the time when I first married him. I was stubborn and foolish. I did many ridiculous things at the time. I could not help but smile at the thought of that.

Theo looked at me and asked with a frown, "What are you smiling at?"

I shook my head. "When I was in university, I planned t o go to Zenon with Cecilia after our graduation. I didn't

have any ambitious plans for my life and merely wanted to go to Zenon to find a nine-to-five job with Cecilia and live happily ever after."

I looked at Theo and let out a self-deprecating smile. "I didn't expect Mother to beg Grandma to let me marry you. This marriage has bound us together for life. I thought it was a blessing, so it's hard not to think that I’m not worthy of you sometimes. I begged Grandma to let me join Grant Corporation but she didn't agree. Instead, she made me run a very small entertainment company under Grant Corporation. I understood Grandma’s intentions, so I gladly ran the company, hoping to make some achievements. That way, I'd finally be worthy of you."

I continued after a pause, "When I first joined the company, the managers there looked down on me and thought that I was managing a company without knowing anything. They thought it was a joke. It was the truth, though. I was a fresh graduate at the time and had zero knowledge of everything. They sent me t o have business dealings with the old bosses, and I attended all of them. Although I was a poor drinker and would feel unwell for several days each time, I thought I might never be worthy enough to stand beside you if I did not do so and did not achieve anything."

Theo held my hand but I withdrew it. I looked at him and said with a faint smile, “I didn't think life was tough at the time. Now that I think about it, it didn’t feel bitter either. On the contrary, I think it was a good experience because there was at least a time in my youth when I worked so hard for something. If I had made full use of Grandma’s support at the time and just became a pampered young mistress at home, I would never have known what it feels like to be a president of a company.”
