Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1325

Theo glanced faintly at her and did not say anything. He held my hand and took me into the elevator.

The elevator doors slowly closed. Theo backed me to the wall and pressed his hands on the wall on either side of my head. He lowered his head and asked with a smirk, "You're interested in both genders?”

I was stunned for a moment. When I realized what he meant by that, my face flushed with anger. "What nonsense are you talking about? We came in contact while dealing with Amelia's parents yesterday. We got slightly familiar with each other."

Theo faintly smiled and kissed my forehead. "My wife has really amazing social skills."

My mouth twitched. "Is that a compliment?"

After accompanying Theo at Grant Corporation for a day and returning home at night, I remembered about Munchkin and gave Petra a call.

The call was quickly connected, but the person who answered it was Grayson." Your mom's asleep, Wanda. Are you coming back tonight?"

I smiled. "I'm not going back tonight. I’m still staying here. I just finished making dinner. Have you had dinner?"

"They're making dinner in the kitchen.

We'll be able to eat soon."

"How's Munchkin doing?"

Grayson smiled. "He's okay now. His fever has gone down. He's alive and kicking. I heard about Grant Corporation. How are things now?"

"It's no big issue.”

I then talked to him for a few minutes before hanging up.

I was just about to go have dinner when Jordan gave me a call.

I answered the phone. "Good evening, Mr. Fredericks."

Maybe I was used to calling him that at work that even though it was not working hours now, I still called him Mr. Fredericks.

Jordan smiled. "It's not working hours right now. You can just call me by my name. Shannon said you’ve returned to Whaldorf City. Are you free tomorrow? Let's have a meal together."

I remembered that I had promised to give him the sandalwood box. I could use this opportunity to pass it to him, so I agreed. "I have time tomorrow. Send me the time and location.”

“Okay.”

He did not say anything more and hung up the phone.

Theo looked at me with eyes as dark as the bottom of the ocean. "Jordan?"

I nodded. "I promised him back then that if he could take me, Shannon, and the rest safely back home, then I would give him the sandalwood box that my mother left for me. But things got dragged until now. I can take this opportunity to give it to him this time."

Theo frowned slightly. "Have you never thought about why your mother had the

box?" "I did, but I don’t understand my mother well enough.”

Theo held my hand, his gaze a little deep " You and Jordan's encounter was more or less deliberate. It’s always safer to stay vigilant."

I did not know why he was suddenly telling me these things, but what he said was not entirely wrong. I nodded compliantly to agree.

The next day, Jordan sent me the location of the restaurant. We would meet at noon.

When I arrived at the restaurant, I followed the waiter to the table that Jordan reserved.

Whaldorf City was already very cold this season. Jordan wore casual attire, and his hair was not as meticulously combed as usual. It made him seem somewhat carefree, just like a handsome teenager.

The interior of the restaurant was warm. I removed my jacket and put it aside. I asked him, "When did you return?”

"I've been back for several days now.”

There was an amiable smile on Jordan's face. "I planned to ask you out when I came back but I saw that a lot of things were going on in Grant Corporation, so I figured you wouldn't have time."
