Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1410

"I just left the Louises’."

I walked over to button up the rest of his buttons. Seeing the redness on his neck, I asked with a frown, "Why is this part of your neck red?"

Theo pursed his lips and said faintly, “The new secretary was too careless and spilled the water on me.”

I gave up buttoning the topmost button and found an ointment for burns from the office. I made him sit down on the chair and removed his shirt.

He was scalded in many places and looked like he was in pain. I said with distress," You've assigned too much work for Keith that he doesn't have time to take care of you. Why don't you share a little of the work he's doing with other people?’

He smiled slightly. "I don't feel safe letting others handle those matters. If you're worried, then come to the company and keep me company often. How about that?"

I felt heartbroken seeing the burned spots on his body and quickly answered, "Sure. Since I have nothing to do now anyway. Mom's taking care of Munchkin, so I'll come to the company to take care of you.”

Theo sat on the chair and put his arm around my waist. He said with a face full of smiles, "My wife's the best."

I pushed him and helplessly said, "This new secretary is really careless. How did she even pour a cup of hot tea on you? You didn't startle her, did you?"

Theo raised his eyes to look at me with a deep and obscure gaze. "Is your husband that scary to you?"

I shrugged. "I didn’t say that."

Theo harrumphed and let go of my waist, allowing me to continue applying ointment on the parts he was burned.

He would feel pain when my fingers touched the burned spots. After hurting a few times, he bit my lips in retaliation. His tone sounded a little aggrieved, "If you don’t go easy on the application, then I'll start suspecting you for trying to murder your husband."
