Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1330

Petra ordered someone to serve pastries. Soon, the masseuse arrived.

She was a woman who loved dressing up, and since the Louises' residence was huge, she transformed a room into a beauty parlor. I plopped down on the bed after going in with her, enjoying the relaxing sensation from every part of my body. I soon fell asleep.

When I woke up, the masseuse had left. I lay on the bed and stretched comfortably.

Petra walked in with a glass of juice, asking with a smile, "Did you sleep well?"

"Very well."

I got up and put on my clothes. My body felt extraordinarily comfortable.

Petra smiled slightly. "You must be hungry. Eat something first. I'll go make something later. Munchkin has been telling me that he's craving roasted chicken. That greedy look on his face nearly got me crying from laughing too hard. Both of you weren't around the last few days, so it was fortunate that he was here to accompany us or it would've been so boring."

"It must not have been easy for you to take care of him."

"We're a family, so don’t say things like that."

Petra helplessly smiled and stuffed the glass into my hands.

I was not surprised to see Theo downstairs.

He knew I had come to the Louises' residence and would definitely come to look for me when he had time.

When I saw him playing chess with Grayson, I did not interrupt him and walked quickly into the kitchen.

Petra was already bustling about in the kitchen. When she saw me coming in, she said, "Go sit down in the living room. I don’t need help here. Besides, I'll be done soon.”

I nodded and yawned, asking, "When did Theo arrive?”

"An hour ago." She glanced at me. “I heard that you guys plan to go to Limbia."

"Yeah, a good friend of Theo's grandpa passed away, so we plan to go visit."

Petra sighed. "You're really busy, aren't you? You haven’t even finished handling the company's affairs yet but you're going away. You guys really should take a break.

Your bodies won't be able to take it if this continues.”

I knew she was worried about my health, so in order to reassure her, I said with a smile, "I'll get more rest when I come back from Limbia."

"Okay."

I left the kitchen after taking the plate of roasted chicken on the kitchen counter.

Theo and Grayson were having a chat.

"Harold Zimmerson lived a long life until the age of 95. He enjoyed enough blessings in his old age."

Theo nodded slightly. "Mr. Zimmerson died peacefully.”

I put the roasted chicken in the dining area and sat down behind him, asking Grayson," Do you know Grandpa Grant's friend too, Dad?' "Of course, I do." Grayson smiled slightly. "I must say that he was a legendary figure. There's hardly anyone from our generation who doesn’t know him.”

He asked hesitantly after a pause, “I heard that you gave the sandalwood box that your adoptive mother gave you to Jordan?"

I froze and looked up at Theo.

Why did he tell Grayson about this?

Theo smiled slightly. "Don’t get the wrong idea about me. The Fredericks have been looking for the box for years. Many will find out once they find it."

I pursed my lips and asked Grayson, "Dad, is that box very important to the Fredericks?"

He sighed. "That box is not only important to the Fredericks, it's important to everybody. When your mother left the box with you, she probably never expected them to locate it one day. This must be fate”

His words left me confused. He seemed to know something about Mother.
