Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1078

I had a bit of a headache and asked while looking at him, "Do you need that much for emotional damages?”

I knew that his clothes were all custom-made and each one of them was frighteningly expensive. He was surely not going to wear them anymore after I threw u p on them, so I had no excuse not to pay for them. However, asking me to pay half a million dollars for emotional damages was too much. I refused to accept it.

Theo smiled slightly. "Do you know how much I could've earned if you hadn't delayed so much of my time?”

After a long silence, I said, "I didn't ask you t o come."

"What did you say?" Theo's countenance was suddenly terrifyingly grim.

I pursed my lips. "I said I wasn't the one who told you to come."

I was in the wrong, after all, so I did not sound very confident saying that. My voice also gradually softened toward the end.

I felt very troubled. I received only a few thousand dollars in salary a month. Where was I going to get 700,00 dollars to pay him?

Theo sneered. "Are you saying that I shouldn't have saved your number and picked up your call?"

I lowered my eyes and mumbled, "1 didn’t ask you to pick up."

I had sudden flashbacks of him picking Elena up and walking away this afternoon. I felt a lump in my throat as I suddenly said, "I'm surprised you actually ignored the stunning lady beside you and answered my call. You even came to see m e.’

"Wanda Lane!"

Theo got cranky. "You sure know how to make me angry. Looks like your head is full of shit.”

Maybe it was the effects of the alcohol that I grew a little emotional. I was no longer as rational as I normally was. I looked aggrievedly at him and said, "Yes, my head is full of shit, while Elena's head must be full of gold. She’s better than me in all aspects and matches you more than me. Since you like her so much, why do you still care about me, then?"
