Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1681

“President Grant and President Lane seem so close.”

"That’s right. Would anyone still believe they used to be a fake couple who couldn't stand each other if they go out into public like this?”

"Exactly. Back then, President Grant..."

They stopped speaking, and I thought it was because Theo had given the talkative employee a warning glare. However, when I looked up, I saw that he was still staring at me flirtatiously as if he had not heard what they said.

When I turned around, I realized that Cindy was there.

It was the afternoon rush hour, which meant more and more people were walking over to take the escalator. They all had curious expressions when they saw Theo and me, but they immediately hid the giddy smiles on their faces after they came closer and saw Cindy.

This time, I shoved Theo away despite his reluctance. However, I was no match for him in terms of strength and had no choice but to continue allowing him to hug me.

When he noticed me staring awkwardly at a spot behind me, he also turned around to look. His reaction when he saw Cindy was not as exaggerated as mine was. However, he still seemed stunned as if he had not expected this to happen. His lips curled upward slightly in a polite greeting.

When he turned back around, the group of people standing behind us began talking among themselves softly as they could no longer hold back their excitement.

"President Lane is amazing. She even managed to seduce President Grant, who's such a prodigal son."

"I've said this before, but President Lane is gorgeous. Look at her. She's pregnant now, but she still seems so feminine. Are there any other women who would be able to do that?’’

A layer of sweat formed on my scalp when I heard that. I was tempted to take the stairs when I saw how slowly the elevator was descending.

Initially, I was worried that the group of women in the entertainment industry would begin discussing Cindy and Theo’s past after witnessing the incident.

The parties involved did not mind since it was something that had happened in the past. However, it would still be awkward having to hear others discuss it.

I did not expect them to end up discussing my figure!

I had suddenly become the person in an awkward situation without having the chance to prepare myself beforehand.
