Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1206

I understood without needing him to say anything.

I did not ask anymore. Seeing that I was not saying anything, Keith looked at me and said carefully, "Please don’t get the wrong idea, Mrs. Grant. Ms. Reed came here with Mr. Nichols. Her health condition hasn't been the greatest in the last two years, so Mr. Nichols has been staying by her side to take care of her. He brought her along because he was worried about her. Mr. Grant doesn’t even know about it."

When he was in such a hurry to explain himself, it made me seem a little narrowminded.

I smiled faintly. "You don't have to explain i t. They're friends. It’s normal for friends to have a meal together. I'm not so narrowminded."

My phone rang after saying that.

Seeing that it was from Shannon, I hurriedly answered it.

"I'm dying of exhaustion, bestie.” Shannon's voice carried a hint of sobbing.

I laughed. "Are you back from the supermarket?"

"I just came back." Shannon let out a long sigh. “I forgot to eat. I'm dying of starvation."

What a coincidence.

I raised my eyebrows and said with a chuckle, "Why don't you start packing and come over to have a meal with me? Keith brought a lot of good food."

"You're truly my bestie." Shannon immediately cheered up. "Wait for me. I’m coming right away.”

After hanging up the phone, Keith had already brought all the food to the dining area.

Seeing that he was about to slice an orange, I said, "I'll wash it."

Keith was a special assistant and not a nanny. He had helped me so much that it made me feel bad.

"You should go and have something to eat, Mrs. Grant. Mr. Grant reminded me to

watch you finish your food before I leave.”

Theo, however, was ordering Keith around like he was a nanny.

Keith was quite a stubborn man. Knowing that I could not talk him out of it, I gave up straight away.
