Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 170

"Yes." My nose burned slightly as I quietly answered.

"I ordered you dinner, someone will send it over later. Soup is included, and you should drink some of it." His end of the line seemed to be very quiet, and I could even hear echoes as he spoke. He had probably stepped out to stand in a corridor to speak to me.

"Alright. Where are you, and what time will you be back?" I felt a wave of emotions rush over me as I gazed at the flowers, feeling a wave of inexplicable warmth and excitement.

"I'm having dinner with the others at the hotel. I'll try my best to be back soon." His voice sounded very deep.

We were still talking when I heard someone call out," Theowy, come in." It was Cindy's voice.

"You should go back! I'll hang up now.” I did not wait for him to say anything else before I hurriedly hung u p. I heaved a huge sigh when the call ended. My heart felt as if someone was pinching it slightly. It hurt and stung a little.

At the end of the day, I still greatly minded the affair and could not bring myself to act like my emotions were not all over the place because of it.

The doorbell soon rang. The meal Theo had ordered

for me had arrived. I opened the door to receive it and saw that it was a soup dish accompanied by multiple side dishes. They all seemed to boost one's health in one way or the other.

I did not have much of an appetite, so I went upstairs after drinking some soup.

I really liked how the baby's room was decorated and decided to sit on the carpeted floor inside and stare into space. I imagined scenes of him sitting here and talking to our kid, scenes of him reading the child storybooks in the future.

Would there ever be such a day?

There were some things you could not think about in detail lest it leave you depressed.

I did not know how long I had been sitting there when the sound of my phone ringing jerked me back to reality.

It was Zedd. Why was he calling me?

"Wanda Lane, are you deaf? Haven't you heard me knocking for the last forever?” Zedd exploded before I could even get my bearings.

I was confused. Had there been knocking?

After some time, I finally realized that I was up on the second floor and that I had also closed the bedroom door. Of course I had not been able to hear anything.

Too lazy to argue with him, I hung up the phone and walked back downstairs to open the door.
