Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1831

"Did you miss me?" Theo's pleasant voice sounded lightly from above my head.

I snuggled into his arms and nodded. "I did. What about you?"

"I missed you so, so much."

His voice was still a little hoarse, perhaps because he was tired from these few days.

After he sat down, I put Drover's letter of intent for partnership in front of him and raised my brows at him. "We can sign a formal contract when the details of the contract are drawn up."

Theo caressed my head with a smile on his face. "I’m at ease leaving the company to you."

I smiled and lowered my gaze as I rubbed my stomach. "I'm not afraid of being tired, but the child might not be able to bear it."

"I came back immediately after I was done over there just because I was afraid you would work yourself too hard." Theo's eyes were full of affection.

The phrase ‘absence makes the heart fonder’ was so true.

After chatting with Theo for a while in his office, I went back to my department. I did not disturb his work, but I was thinking of asking Caroline to make a

more abundant dinner tonight. Theo must not have eaten well the past few days.

I called Caroline immediately and told her about Theo's return, but she said she knew of it long ago. Theo had informed her as soon as he got off the plane and had asked her to prepare dinner.

I hung up the call, and my heart was filled with sweetness. Theo likely wanted to give me a surprise.

With anticipation, I finally endured till the end of the work day.

"Hey, Nicky, let's go home." When I saw Nicky walking out of the office, I called out to her.

She saw me and walked toward me. There was a faint smile on her pretty face as she waved at me. "I'll go back later tonight so that I won’t disturb you two."

"You..." My expression was blank.
