Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 147

I looked up at him and said indifferently, "So, are you going to carry this burden your entire life? Theo Grant, I can stop caring, but I refuse to let my child be forced t o fight someone else for their dad."

Theo's onyx eyes darkened, and he replied almost immediately, "I promise, this won’t happen again.”

"You've already said the same line before. Do you know what a habit means?" Cindy was Theo's habit, and he had proven time and again that he could not ignore her.

My heart softened when I saw how conflicted he was. I did not force him anymore. I faintly said, "Take a nap. The sun's about to come up."

He lay on his bed and asked in a deep voice, "I heard you came over to sign the consent form for my operation. Were you worried?”

How should I reply? I was worried when I heard he got into an accident, but when I knew that he was not badly injured and he was with Cindy at the time of the accident, I was more upset and disheartened than I was worried.

However, I did not want to tell him that. I got up, kept the food container, and said coldly, "I'll head back

now. I need to work tomorrow."

His face changed when he saw that I was unwilling to answer him. He said, "The hospital requires a family member to stay back tonight. Just make do with that bed over there."

I wanted to call Cindy and ask her to come since she would be more than happy to, but I remembered that she should still be in the police station now. I agreed." Okay, I'll go to sleep now. Just holler if you need anything."

He was only being annoying tonight because of this. If I did not stay back, I did not know what other method he would come up with to be so torturously annoying.

I placed the food container down and lay down, preparing to sleep. I was out and about all night, so I was exhausted.

Before he could say anything, his phone rang. He picked it up, and his eyes darkened. Alas, he answered it on speakerphone.

I was not sure when this habit of answering the phone on speakerphone started.

Once the call went through, Cindy's shrieks pierced through the phone. "Theowy, save me! Wanda Lane framed me and sent me to the police station. They require a family member to be present but I can't get through to my parents. I'm so scared..."

She actually took so long to call him?
