Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1142

After going through a near-death experience, everyone was terribly worn out. Shannon and I were just about to lay down and sleep when Jordan came over to take Shannon away.

Usually, I would have teased them, but I was currently not in the mood to do that.

I felt like I could fall asleep as soon as I closed my eyes.

It rained again the second half of the night. There was loud thunder, and I woke up with a start despite my drowsiness. One could only imagine how loud the thunder was.

When I opened my eyes and saw someone

beside me, I was instantly awake. My heart thumped rapidly, and I nearly screamed.

The person beside me covered my mouth and comforted me. "Don't be scared. It's m e.”

Even though I could tell that it was Theo’s voice, I was still in a huge shock. "What are you doing here, Theo?”

Was he not supposed to be with Elena? Why did he come here?

Thunder struck again, and I moved closer t o him out of instinct.

He seemed to be unaware of it and put the earplugs in his hands in my ears.

Everything suddenly felt a lot quieter. I looked at him, feeling a little stunned. I was unsure what I should say to him at this moment.

Theo probably did not know what to say either and just gently hugged me, patting m y back to put me to sleep.

I was already very tired, so I fell asleep in n o time at all.

I woke up in the morning and opened my eyes to a bright sunny day. The rain had stopped.
