Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1161

I froze, and my mind was in turmoil.

After a long silence, I turned around and looked at him, saying, "I'm now talking to you as your wife."

As soon as I said that, the corners of Theo's mouth lifted.

He looked like he was in a good mood and said with a faint smile, "There’s a change of clothes for you in the closet. Take a shower and go to bed early. It's getting late."

I frowned and wanted to say something, but he was already heading for the bathroom.

We were adults now, and I knew what my answer meant. Hence, there was nothing more to say about that.

When Lally learned about the amount of damage, I had seen just how worried she looked. As a single mother, she needed to care for her child and parents. Even though she had made a lot of money in Fredericks Corporation in the last few years, to pay 30 percent of 500 million was not an amount she could pay off even if she emptied out the savings of her entire family.

Meanwhile, I also had to bear 20 percent of the amount. Furthermore, since I had decided to cut all ties with Theo, I transferred all the many years of income I received from the company under my name to Theo. Apart from the property in Zenon, I had no other assets left. Hence, 20 percent of 500 was simply an astronomical amount to me as well.

Therefore, my only option now was to see Theo so he would not rush me to pay for the compensation.

As long as the lost items were recovered, that meant that we could still do our best to pay less compensation. Besides, I had a feeling that this whole incident was not that simple.

I sat on the sofa, lost in thoughts for a very long time. Eventually, I got up and walked t o the closet.

After opening the closet, I found a set of pajamas that I could wear with the tag still attached. It seemed like it was just prepared.

Did he know me that well? He knew that I would come to him?

The bathroom door opened, and Theo walked out draped in a bath towel. His bronze chest still had water droplets on it, which made him look extra sexy in the dim light.

I turned my gaze away and lowered my head, saying, "I'll go and take a shower."

He wiped his hair dry and said in a lukewarm tone, "Hurry."

We had been married for many years.
