Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1304

I realized that he was getting better at saying honeyed words. I was on cloud nine after hearing a few simple words.

"Can we have dinner together?" he spoke softly into my ear.

I wanted to agree, but after recalling that I had promised to have dinner with Tyler, I could only apologetically say, “I promised my brother to have dinner with him. He seems to be in an argument with Susan and is in a pretty bad mood."

Theo frowned. "Why is he coming to you when they're having a fight? Are you a trash bin that he can dump his trash into?'

I froze and lifted my hand to pinch his waist, saying with displeasure, "What are you talking about? People will be in a bad mood sometimes. Besides, I haven't seen my brother for so long, so shouldn’t we have a meal together now that I'm back?"

Theo harrumphed softly and placed his chin on my shoulder, acting like a spoiled brat. "Sure, you can go. But you must bring me with you. I don't want to eat alone anymore because nothing tastes good."

I could only helplessly agree. "Okay, let's go together, then.”

This was my first time finding it interesting to accompany Theo at work.

Even though I was only looking at him quietly now, I realized that the man displayed full elegance and nobility in everything he did.

It was truly a blissful thing to be able to admire a moving picture of a beautiful man up close like that.

Perhaps I was too focused on his face that I only returned to my senses after Theo put down his pen and turned to look at me.

He stared at me with a pair of pitch-black eyes, his thin lips parting slightly. "Come here."

As though being enchanted, I stood up and walked over.

Theo was pleased and gently smirked. He grabbed my arm and gave a gentle tug, making me sit on his lap.

He asked me with a smile, "Am I nice to look at?"

I blushed and nodded. "Yeah.”

He looked to be in a very good mood. "You shouldn’t be staring at me like that even if I’m nice to look at. You can stare at me in any way that you want when we go home tonight. Otherwise, I may not be able to work."

I was not able to grasp the deeper meaning of this sentence at first. It was not until I felt the warmth on my thighs did I blush and quickly hopped off of him.

However, he pressed me down and moved his lips closer to my ear, asking with a heavy breath, "Where do you think you're going?”

I dared not meet his gaze, so I lowered my head and muttered softly, "I don't want to affect your work progress."

He raised his eyebrows. "You've already affected me."

I grew even more flustered now.

Fortunately, he did not do anything and merely embraced me.

After embracing me for a few minutes, he made me lean in his arms and continued with his work.

I dared not move at first, but I gradually relaxed a little after that. I leaned on his shoulder and looked at him with great attention just like when he was working.

I did not remember when I fell asleep because I was already lying on the lounge bed when I woke up.

Theo's and Keith’s voices were coming from outside the door.

"What happened this time is different from the last. Someone is fueling the flames and slandering Grant Corporation. The internet is full of public accounts smearing Grant

Corporation's name. They're even bringing up your and Mrs. Grant's affairs." "What affairs?" Theo's voice was icy. "They say that your marriage with Mrs. Grant is a business alliance, in which neither of you loves each other. Also, they're saying that you have a mistress and another family of your own. The same goes for Mrs. Grant, who's said to be in a complicated relationship with a married man. Both of you are said to have very chaotic private lives."
