Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1089

Those words sounded too ambiguous. Theo's grim gaze fell on me.

Elena smiled slightly as though she was afraid that no one would be there to stir things up. She looked at Jordan and me, saying, "Are you staying together, Mr. Fredericks and Ms. Lane?"

Jordan nodded naturally before I could reply, saying, "Yeap."

The two Grant Corporation's employees who had no idea about Theo's and my relationship were probably trying to butter up Jordan. Hence, they said, "You’re so nice to Ms. Lane, Mr. Fredericks." 'Yeah, I can tell that you're very close. It's enviable to see you working together and b e able to take care of each other."

Suddenly, I did not know what to say. I tried to explain myself but was afraid that I would say the wrong thing and seem like I was trying to cover up the truth. Hence, I simply remained silent.

Fortunately, the food arrived very quickly and everyone gradually changed the subject.

After the meal, Jordan and I and Theo and Elena were paired up, making the atmosphere as awkward as it could get.

When we were finally done having lunch, I breathed a sigh of relief.

Theo had work to do at noon but did not need to go back to the company to do it.

Keith was supposed to send Elena back to the company but had to follow Theo in the afternoon, so when Cally saw that, she offered, "Wanda can take her back. She has nothing to do at noon."

Before I could refuse, I was pushed into the car by Cally.

In the car, neither Elena nor I spoke.

Halfway through the ride, she spoke first," Am I the reason why you left Mr. Grant?"

I glanced indifferently at her. "No."

Seeing her hugging herself like it was a little cold, I turned up the temperature of the air conditioner.

"Thanks.”
