Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1139

"Okay!" Nina shouted back.

Soon, the dark pit was lit up.

I stood rooted in the same spot, afraid to move. Seeing that the person who came down was a man, I figured it must be Jordan and said, "Be careful, Jordan.

There's soft soil in some places that'll cause a person to sink in. You must be careful."

The man did not say anything. A rope was tied around his body. He held a torchlight i n one hand to shine the path under his feet, and he used another hand to hold the wall for support to come toward me.

The torchlight shone in my direction, so I

could not see Jordan's face.

I looked around me and saw two slightly deeper pits. That was probably where I stepped earlier.

There were some mud-covered shrubs around as well, most of which were tea trees. It seemed like I was right. This place had just collapsed.

The rain grew heavier and I was completely drenched. Unsure if the ground underneath my feet was solid or not, I tentatively took a few steps. Seeing that Jordan was very near to me, I said a little worriedly, "Be careful. Some of the soil beneath is loose."

The man gave a light hum, and his voice made me stunned.

He walked up to me, and I looked blankly at him. "Theo?"

For some reason, my taut nerves were suddenly relaxed.

Theo pursed his lips. His gaze was cool when he looked at me. "Are you disappointed because I’m not who you were hoping to see?"

I was thoroughly impressed by how he was still able to tease me in such situations.

I gently sighed and said, "Let’s hurry up and go up. This place can sink again at any time."

He seemed much clearer about it than me and planned to pull me and go. He raised his head to shout upward, "I found her. Tie the rope around the tree.”
