Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1039

When I saw the grave look on Jordan's face, I thought h e was still angry. I said carefully, "I've read through these documents, Mr. Fredericks. You can sign them if everything’s okay."

Jordan did not look at me, nor did he say anything. He continued to read the documents in his hand.

I planned to leave after putting the documents on the table when I noticed his hand on his stomach. I recalled the words Lally said to me in the conference room and realized what was going on. He probably looked grave because he was suffering from gastric pain, not because he was mad.

Perhaps it was because he did not have his breakfast this morning. I felt a little guilty and ran back to my seat to pull out a few candies from my bag.

I would keep some candies in my bag and pop one into my mouth whenever I ate a salty dish. They happened to come in handy now.

I returned to Jordan's office table and placed the candy on the table, saying, "I'm really sorry about today, Mr. Fredericks. Have a piece of candy first. I'll g o and buy you some gastric medication and food for you right now."

Jordan looked at me with dark and bright eyes. His sharp eyebrows were raised, and the corners of his mouth were curved. "Lally told you?"

I pursed my lips and nodded faintly. "Lally said you have a sweet tooth and your stomach will hurt if you don't eat in time. I'll pay attention to details like these i n the future and work hard to gain your approval."

After saying that, I looked nervously at him.

Jordan smiled slightly and said a little helplessly, " Just make sure this doesn't happen again. I'm fine. Go and finish your work. Don’t worry about me. I'll take m y meal at noon."

His complexion was really pale. I asked worriedly," Can you hold on for that long?"

Jordan smiled slightly. "This isn't the first day it has happened. I'm already used to it. Besides, it'll be noon soon, so a short wait makes no difference."

I nodded. "Why don’t you take some candies and drink some water first?"

When I returned to my workstation, I was still a little uneasy and thought about going to the pantry to heat u p a glass of milk.

It just so happened that Shannon called, so I answered the call and said, "You're up pretty early."

Judging from her character, she should be sleeping until noon after staying up so late last night.

"I need your help, bestie," Shannon said seriously.

Hearing the sound of cooking on her end, I asked with a smile, "You’re not thinking about sending Jordan lunch, are you?"
