Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1534

"But I couldn't ask for nothing. Otherwise, he'd find the deal to be too easy and begin to have doubts. If he suspected me from the beginning, it would’ve been even more difficult."

I did not need Theo to explain the things that happened after that. Alex had already told me before that.

There was only one thing I was curious about now. "How did Alex give you the gene selection technology so easily?"

Theo's eyebrow raised. He changed his sitting position and sat beside me.

I had obviously already been lying down on the bed, and the space was insufficient. With his actions, I was forced to squeeze into the middle of the bed while he settled down in my original position.

He even kept close to me, leaning against the head of the bed with me since I had not moved that far away.

"That's because he didn't know what I was going to do at the time. Secondly, he didn't really care about the technology."

This was not what I had thought.

"What he’s been concerned about is his family's view of him. His mother's hard work has also been a knot in his heart, but what could he do with it? He didn't care.

"He just wanted to hold it tightly in his hand. Otherwise, he could have used this technology when Mason went to prison, but he didn't. All his thoughts were on how to get the technology back, not how to use it."

The way Theo said this was as if he found it rather pitiful.

I kept thinking about how I knew Alex was not some fool after having interacted with him these few days.

He had his own thoughts but was too engrossed with the past. He was blinded.

"There was nothing to be done. He was already wallowing about his mother, and it made sense for him to do so."

I began to recall the story Ronny told me before. If Lady Winnie had changed her mind, it was likely that everything that had happened would not have happened.

If Alex could have made good use of the technology his mother left him, he might have been able to leave home and lead a good life.
