Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1195

When talking about Jordan, Shannon seemed a little downcast.

"Dating is boring. Honestly, I envy Lally a lot right now. She has no husband but has a n adorable child. Although it’s exhausting t o raise a child by yourself, it’s great to have no bastards pissing you off."

Lally let out a long sigh. "You don't understand. You're at the best stage right now. Alone and free, able to do whatever you want to without a single worry. If you feel lonely and want to date someone, you can just find a man. If you don’t feel like dating, then you can live happily on your own. How awesome is that?"

Cally continued after a pause, "If the heavens give me a second chance to start anew, I certainly wouldn't have chosen to get married."

Shannon nodded. "You can choose not to get married, but you most certainly can’t give up on finding a boyfriend. Firstly, it's t o fulfill your physical needs. Secondly, it's t o receive love and protection. Don’t you agree?"

Cally nodded to agree, not even noticing that Shannon was going to start worming something out of her.

“It's especially important to fulfill our physical needs.” Shannon let out a long sigh. "Unfortunately, I found a boyfriend who can’t fulfill my physical needs. Mr. Fredericks can't do it.”

She held onto Cally's arm and asked with a face full of sorrow, "Do you think he doesn't like me at all, Lally? Maybe he even hates m e and that's why he keeps refusing to touch me."

I did not know that Shannon was actually s o good at worming information out of people.

Seeing Shannon's face full of sadness, Lally subconsciously comforted her. "Mr. Fredericks certainly doesn't hate you, and neither is he refusing to touch you. He just has psychological trauma. All these years, he has refused to let any woman go near him, much less bring himself to accept any woman. He can't get past the hurdle in his heart."

Lally continued after a pause, “Since he accepted you, then he must like you. But I didn't know that he hasn't gone back to normal. It’s been many years. Looks like that incident is still affecting him."

Shannon pricked up her ears and quickly asked, "What did Jordan go through?"

"W-When he was a kid...”

Lally rested her head on the table and fell asleep halfway through the sentence.
