Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1585

As time ticked away, Munchkin and I were so engrossed in our books at the coffee shop that we did not even notice the time passing, nor did we notice the silence after all the kids had left the children’s area.

By the time I looked up, the staff members in the store had already started cleaning up a table far away. I glanced at my phone to see that it was past 10 o’clock.

Stores would generally close around 10, let alone a store with a children’s playground. Their opening hours would be even shorter as children would not play outside late at night, so there was no point staying open.

Besides, not many young children disliked playing like Munchkin.

After realizing that it was getting late, I hurriedly called Munchkin. We put the books back in their original spots and left the mall after thanking the staff members.

After walking out of the mall, I saw that the streets outside were still bustling.

The bustle here was different from Zenon. In Zenon, one would see people pour into the streets like they had nothing better to do.

They would just stroll around aimlessly, and even if they did have somewhere to go, they were in no hurry to get there. People would just walk leisurely along the streets while taking a look at their surroundings, and they would eventually wobble their way to their destination without any time constraints as their only goal was to get there.

Most of the pedestrians did not know each other, but as long as one of them smiled, the other party would smile back as a sign of greeting.

On the contrary, the bustle of Whaldorf City saw large crowds. Everyone on the street seemed to be in a hurry, and no one would even stop for a minute for things that did not concern them.

I guessed that it was likely that many people were working overtime today, so an evening rush hour had appeared in the city, which made it look lively.

"Mommy, are we going to the office to look for Daddy?” Munchkin asked me.
