Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1756

"If you don’t mind, you can treat me as a good friend too."

Her words startled me, and I calmed down after a moment. "Why would I mind? I'm beyond delighted."

I was really excited to gain such a brilliant friend like Nicky, so much so that the smile remained on my face after I came out of the guest room.

Returning to the room, I smelled a familiar scent and knew that Theo had washed up. He was leaning on the bed, the notebook still in his hands.

It was the same scene every night.

I was humming a song as I sat at the dresser to remove my makeup.

I saw through the mirror that Theo's attention that had been on the notebook immediately shifted to me because of my humming. He craned his head. "What are you so happy about?"

"I chatted with Nicky in the guest room for quite a bit just now, and the more we talked, the more we got along. She said that if I have anything to talk about in the future, I can talk to her." Joy radiated from the bottom of my heart. I could not hide my smile.

Hearing this, Theo's expression suddenly darkened, and his mood was sour. "Just this alone made you happy?"

After putting down the make-up remover, I turned around and my gaze was directly on the man on the bed. I nodded heavily. "You should also know that I haven’t had any friends since Cecilia left, so, of course. I'd feel lonely. It's all good now. I have Nicky, and if I miss Cecilia, I can talk to Nicky." My voice was somewhat weak at the end.

Mentioning Cecilia made me miss her a lot. I really wished she was still by my side.

Theo put the notebook aside and walked toward me bare feet. He buried my head in his arms without even saying anything and stroked my head gently. "I'm still here. You can talk to me. Otherwise, what's a husband for?"

My mood improved as I came out from his embrace and I smiled at him. "This is different. There are some things about women that we can't tell our men."
