Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1119

Elena looked at Theo again. She was just about to refuse when Mr. Collins stood up and walked behind Elena, helping her to put the necklace on.

"You must live in harmony with this brat forever, okay, Ms. Mandez? If he bullies you, then let me know and I’ll teach him a lesson for you."

Elena looked at Theo, feeling somewhat at a loss for words.

Theo frowned slightly and looked at Mr. Collins. When he saw how happy he was, h e decided to not say anything.

It was more or less pointless for me to go in at this moment as it would only spoil the mood, so I planned to leave.

"You're here, Mrs. Grant."

A man's voice suddenly rang out behind m e, and I was startled. I turned around and saw Keith.

There was a fruit platter in his hand. I asked mildly, "Are you here to serve the fruits?"

Keith nodded. "Why aren't you going in, Mrs. Grant?"

I was about to reply when the door opened behind me.

I turned around and saw Theo standing at the door. I had mixed feelings about this.

Seeing that I was here, Mr. Collins asked with a smile, "Ms. Lane, I heard you picked fruits for me and nearly fell. Did you hurt yourself?"

Now that Mr. Collins was talking to me, there was no way I could leave anymore. Hence, I walked into the lounge with a smile. "I'm not hurt. Thanks for your concern, Mr. Collins."

Mr. Collins suddenly burst into laughter." Glad to hear that you're not hurt. I would be committing a sin if you were. Young people these days should be treasured. After all, life isn't as tough as back in the day. Back then, in order to live, we had to train ourselves to be tougher."

The juniors nodded their heads, echoing M r. Collins' words.

I did not intend to look at the necklace on Elena’s neck, but the necklace was too striking to not notice.

When Elena caught me staring at the necklace on her neck, she subconsciously covered it with her hand. It was a typical reaction to fearing that her treasure would be snatched away.
