Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1687

"Anyway, where's Daddy? Why didn't Daddy come down to pick me up?” Munchkin glanced behind me curiously, but there was no sign of Theo.

I looked at him and gave a snort of laughter. Then, I said, "Silly little boy, did you just remember your daddy?"

I pointed at the top floor of the building that was still lit and said, "Daddy has been in his office. He wants to finish his job earlier so that he can bring you back home sooner."

It was something I said to the kids, but I believed that Fred would understand that I wanted him to hear that too.

He should know why Theo did not want to come down.

Who would have known that Munchkin would give such a surprising reply? "Hmph, Daddy's the silly one. He's never stopped working."

Then, Munchkin walked toward the entrance and said, "Mommy, let’s go. Let's get Daddy and go home together."

The little boy ran swiftly into the building after that.

The security guards around the office were arranged by Theo, so I was assured. That was why I was not in a hurry to catch up with Munchkin.

"I'm leaving first. Thank you for sending Munchkin here." I turned around and said to Fred before telling him that I was about to leave.

However, the moment I took a step forward, Fred called my name, "Wanda."

I turned around and looked at him.

"Have you ever thought about Munchkin and your future?’’ Fred asked.

I was startled for a moment when he asked me such a question. That was out of the blue.

When Fred saw me stop walking, he took a few steps forward and continued to say," Have you forgotten how hard it was for you to raise Munchkin all by yourself in Zenon back then? Have you forgotten how he let you bear so much alone?"

Was this what he was talking about?

"Fred, I don’t want to mention what happened in the past. Besides, you don't know everything that happened. Please stop doubting Theo. We’re happy now. And I have to remind you that you care way too much as a friend!"
