Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 174

After hearing what I had said, Miss Woods’ somewhat morose expression lit up.

She said with a smile, "Young people like you don't enjoy cooking. You’re pregnant now and shouldn't be eating out for all meals of the day. That's so unhealthy. Give me a moment, there’s still half a chicken in the fridge. I'll make soup for you right away."

"Yes. What's the matter? It's midnight right now." I spoke in a daze, not wanting to waste my breath talking to this person.
