Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 132

"Come over here." Theo's expression was back to usual. He comfortably leaned on the chair and waved a t me.

I walked toward him. He pulled me to sit on his lap, then tidied the hair beside my ear. He pressed his face on the back of my neck and said in a lazy tone, "What d o you want to eat? I'll ask Keith to buy it."

I lifted my head and looked at the time. It was already two o'clock in the afternoon. I did not think that I would sleep for such a long time. That was why my head felt heavy. I said, "I slept too long. I don't feel like eating."

He pulled out a drawer and took a bunch of snacks out of it. "Well, then you can have some snacks first. We’ll have dinner at night.”

I never knew that a man like him would prepare snacks for me, and they were the snacks that women loved.

"I don’t like these. These are all for you," he said when he saw my confused expression. His tone was slightly stiff.

I burst out laughing. I chose a packet of plums, opened it, and ate one. Then, I asked, "Where are we having

dinner?" I would not want to go somewhere crowded.

He looked at me while I was eating the plums. Looking at his chiseled features, there seemed to be a hint of a smile on his handsome face. He answered instantly, "President Sherman and his wife invited us for dinner. I'll bring you to have a good meal."

I knew President Sherman. Theo and Mason were engaged in pharmaceutical development these few years. They were working with him. Besides, his hospital was near the villa too. I was sent there a few times after getting into accidents.

If word got out that the president of Grand Corporation had to do this for a good meal, I wondered if the citizens of Salt City would drop their jaws.

"Alright, I'll get back to work first." I slept the whole day. It was the first time I was slacking off, and I felt bad about it.

He nodded his head. "I'll pick you up when it’s time to get off work."

I went back to my office. Heidi was sitting there staring into space, and she looked like she had something on her mind. She forced out a smile when she saw me. "Wanda.”

"What's wrong? Did you have a fight with your boyfriend?" I could not help but find it odd as she was fine this morning.

"N-Nothing.” Heidi quickly shook her head and said,"

President Grant delayed the launching of the new product.” "Delayed? What's wrong?" Theo did not mention this t o me.

"President Grant said someone is behind the matter involving Xander. He requested to investigate the matter thoroughly to prevent it from affecting the launching of the new product." For some inexplicable reason, I could sense that Heidi was hesitating and she seemed to be behaving abnormally.

"Theo said to investigate it thoroughly?" So much time had passed, so why was he suddenly asking for an investigation?
