Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 165

I secretly apologized to Cecilia once again. I had no other choice. If she did not want Mason to know about this, the only thing I could do was to throw her under the bus with some other excuse.

"Pfft!" Mason had not learned his lesson from the soy milk earlier. He had begun eating, and this time, he was now choking on a pancake.

I was too lazy to hand him any tissues this time around.

"Cecilia told you that?" he asked as he dusted pancake crumbs off himself.

"She didn't say it was you, I guessed that myself. So I came to you to get confirmation." Though I was feeling somewhat sheepish, I forced myself to continue lying through my teeth.

Mason had given up on breakfast after the two interruptions to his meal. As he stood up to walk back to his desk, he said, "I strongly suggest you buy some books to read if you’re this bored. Prenatal education i s very important. Don't let this end up affecting the child."

"Dr. Lynch, I swear that I’m just curious. All you have t o do is tell me if you two did anything or not. I swear I

won’t tell anyone else." Refusing to give up, I walked after him and raised a hand to him.

To be honest, I was already quite sure of what had happened. If he was not denying it, I was probably right.

He kneaded his forehead and ignored me.

Just then, a handsome man pushed his office door open and walked in.

"Quick, take your wife home." Mason looked like his savior had arrived as he hurriedly stood up and pointed at me, speaking to Theo.

Theo had no idea what was going on. His features were arranged into a solemn expression as he looked a t us and asked, "What's going on?"

"She came over early in the morning to interrogate me about my sexual relations. I might be a doctor, but I'm also just a man. You should educate her properly once you two get home." As he spoke, he deliberately shuffled further away from us.

I... did not know what to say in response!

The look in Theo’s eyes darkened as he walked over, grabbed my hand, and pulled me down onto the couch. Turning his gaze onto Mason, he asked, "What did she want to know about?"

"I just wanted to know if anything had ever happened between him and Cecilia," I hurriedly answered before Mason could reply.

Theo did not understand, and he turned to look at me.

I chuckled dryly and said, "Well, Cecilia got drunk the last time I went on a business trip, and he was the one who took her home. When I called her the next morning, I heard a man’s voice in the background, so I was curious if it was him or not. It's all just some harmless curiosity. Why don’t you try asking on my behalf?”
