Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 125

Cecilia turned her head around, looked at me, and spoke in a serious tone. "So leave Theo. I can take care of both of you."

I was stunned for a moment when she suddenly said that. I hugged her and said, "Why are you suddenly talking about this? But TH definitely divorce him and leave. It’s just a matter of time."

She broke free from the hug, patted my shoulder, and smiled. "Alright, I just suddenly feel a little emotional. TH wait for you no matter how long it takes. And I've found a place in Rosella City. The living expenses are lower there. When the time comes, we'll buy a villa and our lives will be better than they are here."

Looking at Cecilia’s tearful eyes while she pretended that she was having it easy, I suddenly realized that she had changed. She had changed into someone who had a lot on her mind and who was keeping things in her heart.

Maybe it was because of Xander. I did not think much of it either. I held her hand and said, "Don’t worry. Just leave it to me. We still have a long way to go, and there’s time for that."

"Yes, it's a long way, indeed. Let’s stop thinking about i t. Let's go enjoy the seafood buffet. I've been thinking

about it for a long time. I didn't take my lunch just for this meal." Cecilia finally smiled and pulled me along toward the seafood restaurant.

It reminded me of when we were still in school. Both o f us did not have much money then. We had to save u p for a long time to have a delicious meal.

I was really poor at that time, but I was genuinely happy. When there were no worries, there would be no ties. My heart was free.

After dinner, we went back to Cecilia's house. Cecilia had specially designed a baby room. She painted the walls and decorated the room with cartoons. She even bought a crib.

"Is this what you've been busy with all this time?" I looked at the beautiful room with disbelief.

"Yes, I designed the room. I got all these things in the room online, and I picked them out myself. How’s it? Pretty good, right?" While talking, Cecilia struggled to move the stuff that she had just bought into the room.

"You're always fighting with Theo. Now that you’re alone, it's easy for you to run away from home. When you have a baby in the future, it won't be as convenient anymore. So I had to prepare a room for the baby. I won't mistreat our son..."

I looked at Cecilia who was seriously assembling the baby chair while listening to her. I could not help myself as tears rolled down my face. I went forward and hugged her, bursting into tears.

Having her in my life was my greatest blessing.

"Alright, alright. I'm the baby's godmother. I'm supposed to do all these." Cecilia continued to work on the baby chair.
