Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1341

Theo smiled softly. "Why would I reprimand you? I haven't even had the chance to praise you yet. My wife is so kind. Not only that, she can be pleased with money and doesn't make me upset. Of course, I'd have no problem giving you another 300,000 dollars."

The way he pampered me made me so happy.

I leaned into his embrace, wrapped my arms around him, and said, "Thank you, Theo."

Sometimes, I truly felt incredibly lucky to be married to Theo.

When I recalled the incident at the casino, I asked him, "Why did Milan come to Limbia? What were you guys talking about in the private room? Were you guys making some kind of deal?"

Theo looked down at me and smiled. "Why is my wife so smart?"

I pursed my lips and was silent, waiting for him to give me an answer.

Theo sighed softly. "Milan can no longer do anything overseas, and his hands are tied. Hence, he could only come to Limbia to find another way out. Mr. Zimmerson and Milan's father were old acquaintances as well. As for the cooperation with the Zimmersons’ businesses, Madam Mathilda was still unsure whether to hand it to me or Milan. She might prefer me, but Milan is currently in a tight spot, which was why she was hesitant to decide. In the end, she requested that Milan and I discuss this face -to-face. Only then would she make her decision."

I suddenly understood why Tory had trouble making up his mind.

Being unsure of who Madam Mathilda preferred, Tory chose not to pick sides. Instead, he chose to protect his own interests. If I had not revealed my identity, perhaps he never would have chosen to help Theo.

If he chose to help Theo, all he had to do was say a few words in front of Madam Mathilda and she would pick Theo.

Under the circumstance that both Tory and Madam Mathilda picked Theo, Theo would be the one who could ultimately help Tory once Madam Mathilda passed away.

If it were only Theo, Tory might have hesitated. However, once the Louis family was added to the equation, he no longer had a reason to hesitate. Grayson's power and his frightening methods were enough to tip the balance in Theo's favor.

Theo looked down at me with a solemn expression. "Are you mad that I used your father as a bargaining chip?”

I shook my head. "I'll be happy to have any resources that can be useful to you, even more so if they can help you in any way. It’ll make me feel more worthy of such an excellent man like you."

Theo sighed. "You're so silly. You're already an excellent woman on your own. It has nothing to do with your identity. In my eyes, there's no other woman who can ever compare to you. You're worthy of my love, and I'll love you with all my life."

No matter how many times I heard those romantic words, I still enjoyed listening to them. They still lit up my heart with joy.

I hoped that he would never be stingy with his sweet words because each one of them wove into beautiful memories between us. When we turned old, we would have an endless supply of sweet memories.

Limbia was not cold at all during this season. However, the environment was not great, and the sky was always thick with fog.

Theo left early in the morning. Tory had just taken over the Zimmerson family and would face many difficulties. Since Theo had formed some sort of cooperation with him, he had to lend him a hand.

I lay in bed aimlessly, then decided to leave the hotel on my own.

Since I was already here, I might as well go and check out the sights.

The city was not big, but it was densely populated. Even though it was working hours, the streets were packed. Everyone seemed to be in a rush, and it made my leisurely pace seem out of place.

Just then, I noticed a disheveled-looking man sitting on the side of the road. I stopped in my tracks.

It was not that I was trying to help him out of the kindness of my heart, but this man looked very familiar.

The man seemed to notice that someone was staring at him and looked up.

He recognized me, and a smile spread across his initially expressionless face.
