Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 159

Miss Woods thought about it for some time before she shook her head and said, "I gave you the box before this, but I haven't seen it since I came over again. I didn't even see it when I was tidying up the house. Think carefully. Might you have locked it up upstairs?"

"I'll look for it again." I was prepared to go upstairs to carefully look through everything once more.

I remembered that Miss Woods had mentioned within the box was something Grandmother had wanted to give me. She had asked me to only open it when Theo brought up divorce.

I had never thought of using it to save my marriage, so I did not care. I did not even remember where I had kept it after bringing it back.

Theo was quiet as he drank water in the living hall. His gaze was a little dark when he glanced at me, but h e was always like this, so I did not pay much attention to it and simply went back to my bedroom.

I tried looking through the cabinets in my room, but there was nothing. I remembered that I had changed rooms, so I went up to the third floor to look, but it was to no avail again.

Theo came up to me, his face a little pale. I assumed it

was because he was still not fully recovered, so I said," It's getting late, go ahead and rest. I'll look for a while longer."

He did not move. He leaned against the doorframe and stared at me. When he finally spoke, he asked, "Have you ever looked at the contents of the box?"

I shook my head. "When Miss Woods gave it to me, she told me to only take it out when you wanted a divorce.

I had no such plans, so I didn't pay much attention to i t at the time. I presumed it was company shares or something like that, something that could hold you accountable."

"Smart alec." Theo scoffed, his tone laced with disdain.

I did not deny it. That really was what I had assumed was inside. It was the only thing that could make Theo no longer consider a divorce.

"Stop looking for it. Since I don’t have any plans to file a divorce, whatever that was inside that box isn’t important to you anymore. It’s just like what you said, i t was just some asset-related things.” When he finished speaking, he went into the room, took out his pajamas, and was about to take a bath.

I stood up and stared at him. "How did you know? You've opened the box?"

He nodded. "It was just some monetary items, nothing of much use to you. I threw the box away.”
