Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1709

Since Xander had confirmed his relationship with Jerome, he slowly shifted the focus of his work to behind the scenes.

After all, they were in a relationship that could not be made public for the time being. If Xander continued to make public appearances, then Jerome would soon be exposed.

Xander choosing to go behind the scenes was also to let the public forget him as soon as possible so that he and Jerome could be inseparable.

When I thought about it like this, I fell into a trance for a while.

Xander’s fingers snapped me back into reality. "What are you thinking about? Look at you being so focused."

"It’s nothing. Are you also buying things in the supermarket?" I asked casually.

He smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Did you think I was there to go to a concert? Come on, I'll take you back."

I did not refuse.

After sending me to the villa, Xander was about to leave. I stopped him. "It seems like you didn't manage to get anything. Why don't you and Jerome come to my place for dinner tonight?"

"Sounds good. We’ll come over later." Xander readily agreed to it.

Hence, in the next hour, Caroline and I were keeping our hands busy cooking up four dishes and one stew.

Coincidentally, Theo came in with Xander and Jerome.

"You guys are right on time. We can start eating soon.”

Theo did not seem ecstatic over their visit. There was no smile on his face, and he had a stiff expression.

I touched him and motioned for Theo to entertain the guests.

Under my command, he made a statement, "Make sure you eat up.”

He might as well not have said anything.

I grinned brightly and said, "You boys don't be too polite now.”

"I sure won't. We’re friends, after all." Jerome started placing all of the dishes on his plate. Well, it seemed like he was truly not being too courteous.
