Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1760

I pondered for a moment, and he did not speak either.

After regaining my senses, I tilted my head to look at him. "You still doubt Nicky."

I slowly approached the desk and then put my hands on the table. I leaned over to him and continued to speak, "But she's a high-caliber talent that you found yourself. Shouldn't you trust someone you’re using? Otherwise, you wouldn't be using them at all."

Theo's handsome face moved toward me as if he was smelling something. I hurriedly got up, and when he saw that I was flustered, he was happy. A smile appeared on the corner of his lips. "I didn't have any doubts before."

"Did they just start budding recently?" I asked.

He nodded noncommittally. "Indeed, because it's too much of a coincidence."

I shrugged. "It does seem a bit coincidental, but she has no reason to. Let's forget about the incident on the road. The flower pot incident was no joke. She might have become a cripple for life. Not to mention when she was in the hospital, her friend did call her. They had made an appointment at the bar. Not only that, I went to the bar on a whim. How could she have known?"

Theo did not interrupt me. He only spoke after I was done. "In the same vein, you went to the bar on a whim, so why did the flower pot come crashing on your head? I asked Keith to look into it and it was no accident that the flower pot fell"

I was overwhelmed and could not answer Theo’s question.

Hearing no response from me, Theo reached out and touched my head. "1 said I would protect you. They aren't just empty words. If there’s anything suspicious at all, I have to investigate it. I got Keith to look into Nicky. We’ll have the results tomorrow.

I could not argue with him as his reasoning was substantial. "Okay, since you have your doubts, you can look into it. I believe in Nicky. She’s not like what you think.

"When the results come out, they might prove her innocence too."

"Alright.”

Theo pursed his lips and looked at me He softened his tone. "I’m still going to be busy for a while. You should go to bed first. Don’t you need to get up early tomorrow?"

I almost forgot about that.
