Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1483

"I didn't tell Chief Royce because first of all, I'm not a hundred percent sure. Maybe they can actually find some clues if they go. Secondly..."

I deliberately made a pause.

"I want to meet Alex alone."

I stood on the same spot and waited for Theo's refusal or maybe even stern prohibition.

He put down the sandwich and slowly got up. "I’ll accompany you."

I looked at him with slight shock. On his exhausted face, his eyes were fixed on me.

I was surprised to have obtained his support so effortlessly.

Aren't you going to ask me why?" I asked. "You told me just now." He was no fool and could easily guess my thoughts.

I asked again, "Aren't you worried that it’s going to be dangerous?"

He smiled slightly. "Why should I be afraid when you’re not even afraid? Besides, you'll still go even if I’m afraid."

He held me tight. "I'm not afraid of anything. I'm only afraid of losing you."

I held him back. I knew I had not been acting normally in the past few days and instead like a woman who had completely lost her mind.

Theo was even more worried about my mental state than he was about Alex.

"I'm sorry for making you worry. I'll maintain a positive state of mind and protect our baby."

I could clearly feel Theo freeze, then he tightened his embrace.

"I won't let anything happen to the two of you again."

Feeling Theo's strong heartbeat, I felt the strength in my body slowly gathering.

I had always been worried about losing him and had never let him go. Even after I was hurt and forced myself to forget Theo, I never succeeded.
