Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1116

Something did not feel right, so I walked over to take a look. I almost failed to stop myself from turning around and beating Elena up.

Perhaps she was the only person in this world who would treat an earthworm as a snake.

I took a deep breath and bent down to pick up the fruits that were scattered on the ground.

I swore to stay away from these two people in the future. Otherwise, I would be terribly unfortunate.

Theo bent down to pick them up with me. H e asked me while doing so, “Are you okay?"

I snickered. “I’m okay. I can still be strong and live on."

I was no fool. It was impossible that Elena could not distinguish an earthworm from a snake and was deliberately trying to frighten me so I would fall from the tree in shock.

If Theo had not caught me in time, then I would have ended up lying in the hospital for several days.

Elena looked chagrined. She walked up to Theo and spoke in a hushed voice, "Mr.

Grant, I didn't mean it. I've never seen a snake in real life. The earthworm looked quite long and similar to a snake, so I simply thought it was a snake."

Theo got up and said blandly, "It's time to g o back."

His tone was calm and did not sound like h e was upset.

Elena breathed a sigh of relief. "It's getting late. We really should be heading back."

The fruits that fell on the ground were covered in mud, but fortunately, they were not spoiled and could still be eaten after washing.

Theo and Elena each carried a bag of fruits. Only my hands were empty.

I looked at Elena and said faintly, “Let me carry it for you, Ms. Mandez."

Elena subconsciously handed it to me but suddenly thought of something. After glancing at Theo, she said with a smile, "It’s okay. You probably received a shock after falling from the tree. You should be resting.”
