Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1643

I recalled what Theo had told Munchkin before. This was what he had always wanted to do. That was why he was desperately pushing himself without a care in the world.

I was aware that this move was significant to Grant Corporation's future, which was why Theo was so nervous about it.

His health was indeed important, but I thought that if I asked him to go to bed right now, he would not be able to sleep peacefully anyway. Hence, I let him be.

I went back to the room and covered myself with the blanket before picking up my phone once again. I thought to myself that if Theo still had not come in after 30 minutes, I would go call him in.

He would need to sleep when it was two-thirty in the morning.

I had made up my mind and was about to search for another movie until I heard what seemed to be movement coming from outside. My ears instantly perked up to listen more carefully.

It was the sound of a laptop closing.

Great. Theo was coming in to rest. I hurriedly turned off the TV and snuggled under the blanket while pretending to be asleep.

About half a minute later, Theo's footsteps were getting closer and closer. Then, I heard the bedroom door being pushed open. Someone was walking toward me.

It seemed like he wanted to take a look at me, and I thought that he would give me a peck on the forehead. However, he removed his hands from my pillow without doing anything.

I was a little disappointed, then I heard sounds from the bathroom.

Alas, forget it. He must be tired.

I was about to enter dreamland with disappointment, but I just so happened to catch myself being unusually wide awake as I remembered the image of Theo hugging me.

I wondered if my body was acting up as racing thoughts filled my head uncontrollably like a volcanic eruption.
