Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 17

"No, I will do it." I gritted my teeth as I got out of the car. I hurried over to the large patch of grass in front o f the villa.

The villa was huge. The grass area alone was about 300 square meters. It would usually take two or three workers to clear out the weeds, but now he wanted me to do it alone with my bare hands.

I knew he was trying to torment me.

After all, I was in the wrong. After pausing for a while, I squatted down and started working.

Theo sat in the car and did not get down. He stared at me as I worked. There was no emotion on his gloomy face,

After a long while, he floored the accelerator and drove off, leaving a trail of exhaust gas behind.

Watching him leave, I stood up and let out a long sigh o f relief. I did not sleep last night, and my back was hurting so much that I could not stand straight.

I remembered I had not had breakfast yet either. Regretfully, I said to the child in my belly. "Baby, I'm s o sorry. I'm not qualified to be a mother. I have only made you suffer.”

Recently, not only did I not rest well, I often did not eat

well too. It was not how a pregnant woman should be behaving.

The weather in June was like the temperamental mood of a toddler. Earlier on, the azure sky was still clear with some white clouds. With just a few sudden gusts of cold wind, the sky suddenly turned dark.

I was afraid that a storm was brewing. I quickly squatted on the ground and continued to work, hoping I could finish it before the rain. Otherwise, Theo would be even angrier when he returned and saw my unfinished work. 1

However, I did not have the speed of God. In the blink o f an eye, heavy rain poured down, and fat raindrops landed on my body.

I quickly got up and darted into the house. Because I was running too fast, I slipped on the stairs and fell hard onto the floor.

Instinctively, I reached out my hand to cushion my belly.

However, it did not help, and I tumbled down the steps until I landed on the rain-soaked ground. My belly crashed onto the stairs as I rolled down, sending waves of pain through me.

The rain hit me mercilessly in the face. I rubbed my belly and struggled to pull myself up to head inside.
