Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1469

"Besides, I've been with you the whole afternoon today. I haven't had time to check my email. Like you, I only learned about Alex Hodds from the police officers today."

Theo tried to tell me that he was not the one who put the document in Dr. Zac's scrub, but that no longer mattered.

I lifted my hand and pushed him slightly. I was a little tired, and this was true.

My mind was a mess right now. I had no way of telling if what he said was true or fake.

"I'll rest with you." Theo turned around.

"No, you'll take the couch tonight."

The relaxing scent on him previously had lost its magic now. Taking in his scent now made it hard for me to relax.

Perhaps he was right, or maybe he was wrong. Theo knew the truth better than I did.

I was the only one who had no way of knowing the truth about this matter.

Theo spoke no more and went to the couch as I wished. I returned to the bed alone and lay flat on it, but I could not relax no matter what. I stroked my abdomen. It seemed like I had never been a qualified mother.

Maybe the affairs during the day had drained me, I started feeling sleepy. However, all kinds of dreams kept flashing in my mind from time to time.

I was clearly having a rest, but it felt even more tiring than when I was awake.

I was awoken by the sound of a phone vibration. I tried to grab it, only to realize that someone was behind me. An unfamiliar smell entered my nose.

I shifted my body gently, unsure if Theo was awake or asleep. I merely heard him say, "Let me hold you."

The weariness in his voice made it hard for anyone to refute, but the more it was so, the sadder I felt. In the end, I still could not bring myself to break free from his hold.
