Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 182

"Okay," I responded and went into the bathroom.

Although Cecilia was about the same age as me, she was always very good at taking care of others. Many times, I would be put in a trance and see her with a motherly glow.

I was planning to have a quick bite outside but Cecilia disagreed. She insisted on taking me to the famous burger joint in town.

Therefore, we hailed a cab to the busiest commercial building in the city center, which was similar to Grant Corporation in Salt City. Over here, shopping, food, and entertainment were all conveniently located in the building.

When we arrived at the F&B area on the fourth floor, Cecilia brought me to have the famous chicken burger that she would not stop praising. It did taste pretty good. However, I did not have much of an appetite lately so I felt full after taking just a few bites.

Cecilia's appetite improved ever since she got pregnant. She finished her food very quickly.

"You don't have morning sickness yet?" I asked, looking at her.

She spread her arms. "Do you think I'm pregnant with

a fake baby? I have no other reaction apart from having a much better appetite."

"That's a good thing! Your baby will be an obedient and thoughtful child in the future." When I thought of my own listless appearance, I was sincerely happy for Cecilia.

"I don’t expect the baby to be considerate, I just want t o give birth to a healthy baby so I won't die alone." Cecilia seemed a little down. Perhaps she was reminded of the past.

"What are you talking about? I'm here for you. You won’t be alone." I patted her shoulder.

"Yeah, I still have you. I'm not alone." Cecilia shook her head and put on her usual smile. "Let's go shopping downstairs later. I haven’t bought anything for a long time and am tempted to do so."

"Okay."

Seeing that I had agreed, Cecilia immediately put down her cutleries and dragged me downstairs.

"Listen, there's a pretty good boutique over here. It's the designer’s own store, so the clothes in there..." Before Cecilia could finish her sentence, she clenched my hand and stood frozen on the spot. She stared fixedly ahead, her eyes filled with anxiety and terror.

I was slightly stunned and followed her gaze.

In the middle of the hall, a tall and handsome figure stood out from the crowd. He was impossible to ignore.
