Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1272

When I hailed a cab and returned home, Theo was resting on the sofa.

When he heard movements from the entryway, he got up to take a look at me before lying down again after that. His demeanor was exceedingly indifferent.

I did not want to make a fool of myself, so I did not go over and talk to him either.

Glancing at the time and seeing that it was almost noon, I went to the kitchen to make something to eat.

After frying several dishes, I ate them myself and ignored Theo.

I returned to my bedroom after eating and found a book. I leaned against the bed to read it. However, after reading several pages, I felt sleepy and lay down to sleep.

I slept until three in the afternoon. I left the room to go downstairs. Theo had gone out.

At six o'clock in the evening, thunder struck. Soon, it began pouring.

When it rained, one would know it was late autumn. Raining at this hour made the house even colder.

I returned to my room and snuggled under the blanket, giving Munchkin a call.

He was overjoyed to receive my call, excited even. He kept going about what had happened at school during the day.

The call lasted for two hours. At eight o'clock, Munchkin was ready to go to bed. Petra coaxed him to sleep.

I had slept in the afternoon, so I was not sleepy even after hanging up the phone. I recalled Jordan’s instructions and quickly sent Elena and Matthew a text, asking them to go to the resort tomorrow to do the checks.

At ten, there was the sound of a car engine downstairs.

Theo was home. I put down my phone and closed my eyes to pretend that I was asleep.

I was upset because of the things Cindy said yesterday; he was upset because I did not pick up his calls.
