Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 11

I instinctively pulled back and closed my eyes. I dared not look him in the eye anymore.

He reached out his hand to hold my chin and forced m e to look at him. He then spoke up in a cold tone, "How dare you ask me that, you coldhearted woman?!"

"...It wasn't me." I did not dare to struggle against him despite my face hurt from the way he held me. Cindy Reed was hurt. He would eventually ask me to pay for i t.

"How dare you deny what you've done? Wanda Lane, did you think that I wouldn’t dare to get a divorce just because you have that box?" He asked mockingly. His voice was icy cold.

I was stunned. Theo found out about it so soon.

"I didn't smash the vase against her head. I didn't splash her with water either.” Although there was no need for me to explain myself, I still felt like telling him everything.

I was stunned. I could not comprehend what Theo wanted from me. He had always wanted me to agree t o a divorce. What did he want now from me to avenge Cindy?

Just like Cindy had mentioned, I was a doormat in the presence of Theo. It seemed that I had made it a habit t 0 submit to his every request no matter the consequences to myself.

When he had asked me to take care of Cindy, I would nod and agree even though I was reluctant to do so.
