Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1245

I was wearing a dress, and the neckline was a little wide. I would be easily exposed even if I bent down slightly.

Theo tapped his long and slender finger on the table twice. His meaning was clear, asking me to sit properly.

I chuckled and sat straight, fixing my dress smoothly. I looked much more proper now.

Shannon saw the whole thing and came close to my ear, saying with a smile, "Both of you share quite the tacit understanding."

I smiled but did not say anything.

If he and I shared a tacit understanding, then he would not have brought Cindy along.

"Don't tell me you're already full?” Shannon put a piece of meat on my plate. "You haven't eaten much. Eat more."

I took a few bites and looked at Cindy.

"You’re so quiet, Ms. Reed. Why aren't you saying anything? I'm sure there are a lot of admirers who like a silent beauty like you, right?”

Cindy quickly said, "You flatter me, Ms.

Collins. I'm no beauty. You’re the stunning one here. You and Mr. Jordan are simply a match made in heaven."

Cally sneered.

Shannon was put in a dilemma now. She felt bad for making things difficult for Cindy after she complimented her.

She cleared her throat and said with a smile, "Thanks for the compliment, Ms. Reed. Do you have a boyfriend?"

Cindy smiled and said a little shyly, "Not yet.”

Shannon said in surprise, “How can you not have a boyfriend when you're so beautiful? Men these days have really bad taste.”

I pursed my lips. “Theo has really bad taste, indeed.”

Cally choked on the water she was drinking after hearing what I said.
