Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1857

After hearing her voice, I forced back the tears from my already red-rimmed eyes.

I turned my head and caught a glimpse of Nicky, who was behind me. My lips were drawn into a slight arc. "Everything's fine."

Nicky had walked up beside me. She patted me on the shoulder. “You say you're fine, yet I heard your voices."

Yes, how could Nicky not have heard such a loud argument?

I sighed and shook my head. "I want to be alone."

"Okay, rest early."

I could feel Nicky glancing back at me before going upstairs. Then, I heard her footsteps making their way upstairs.

I was alone in the living room again. It was silent.

Closing my eyes, I felt the emptiness of the night alone. My heart was desolate.

This was the first time we had a fight ever since we got back.

I did not know why Theo did not receive my calls or text messages, but what saddened me was his suspicion of me.

Suspicion was the most feared between husband and wife. He never had complete trust in me.

Thinking of this, my entire heart felt like it had fallen to the bottom of a valley.

Some time passed when I felt an extra weight on my shoulders. I slowly parted my tightly pursed lips. "Nicky, you ought to go to sleep early. I'm fine."

"Go back to your room and sleep.”

Theo’s low voice sounded in my ears. His tone was gentle, and he sounded obviously calmer.

My heart sank. I opened my eyes and met his misted ones. The tears that I had been holding back reappeared sneakily. "No."

My voice was choked, and my tears fell drop by drop like pearls.

I could feel Theo panicking at this moment. He hurriedly took out a few tissues and handed them to me. He also grabbed some in his hand and wiped my face.
