Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1228

I was just about to say something when a young boy's tender voice suddenly sounded in my ears. "Are you talking to my mother, Theo?"

I stopped breathing for a moment, and my eyes were instantly moist.

I had not heard Munchkin's voice for a very long time. Suddenly hearing his voice now caused my emotions to spiral out of control.

"Do you wish to speak to Mommy?"

"Yes! Hurry up and give me the phone, Theo!" Munchkin sounded like he was sobbing.

I could no longer fight back my tears, and they started streaming down my cheeks.

I was not qualified to be a mother. Why did I leave Munchkin alone and leave so heartlessly back then?

This was too cruel for a four-year-old child.

I was extremely selfish for only thinking of myself at the time.

Theo gave Munchkin the phone, who then immediately and cautiously asked, "Is this Mommy?"

My heart throbbed in pain, and there was a stifling feeling in my chest. I was not able to speak for a moment.

Not hearing a response from me, Munchkin panicked a little. “Can you hear me, Mommy?"

I wiped the tears from my face. "Mommy's here, Munchkin. I can hear you.”

My tears fell uncontrollably after saying that.

Munchkin sounded very happy on the phone and started speaking non-stop," Have you had dinner, Mommy? When are you coming home? Theo and I have been waiting so long for you.

"I'll let you in on a secret. I planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the yard. Grandma says that once the little sweet potatoes grow, you'll come home. They've all sprouted now. Does that mean you're coming home soon?"

No one told him that his mother had abandoned him. He only thought that I was out of town and could not come home for a while.
