Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1851

Since I had not seen Shannon in such a long time, it was very late by the time I got home.

Upon entering the room, Theo was sitting on the bed flipping through a magazine. He was obviously waiting for me to come back.

He looked up when he heard sounds. When he saw that I had returned, he put down the magazine. "Where did you go? You came back so late."

There was only worry in his tone and not accusation. I put down my bag and responded slowly, "Shannon is here. I chatted with her for quite some time."

"Oh, I see." Theo just replied to me like this without any extra words.

This made me feel a little strange. "Why aren't you asking me how could she possibly come here?"

With a smile on his face, Theo placed the magazine neatly on the table and answered lightly, "I saw the news. Jordan plans to open a branch in Whaldorf City."

He should know about these current events as well.

I sat next to him with a worried look on my face. "Do you think he'll..."

Theo knew what I wanted to say. He held my hand tightly and gave me strength. "I don't think he’ll act so easily after the last time, unless he's fully confident."

Fully confident?

I thought about his words, and unease spread through my heart. "The fact that he suddenly thought of opening a branch in Whaldorf City means it’s most likely that he's coming for you."

Although his plan failed last time, it was not just a day or two that Jordan had been coveting Grant Corporation. As long as he did not get what he wanted, he would initiate other conspiracies and Theo would have to guard against him.

Theo lowered his gaze. His expression that had been bright just now suddenly darkened. He nodded. "Yes, I'll be careful. Don't worry."

Theo had been in the workplace for so many years. I believed that with his strength, he would not fall so easily into Jordan's trap. Yet, I still felt uneasy.
