Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1937

Afternoon the next day, it was obvious that Munchkin was kicking up a fuss wanting to call Theo after having not seen him for too long.

I pretended not to see Munchkin swinging my hands as I flipped through the magazine.

Seeing that what he was doing was ineffective, Munchkin secretly grabbed my phone from the table, but I saw what he was doing. I had set a password on my phone, so even if he got it, it would be useless. He would still have to look for me in the end.

Sure enough, after fiddling with it in the corner for a while to no avail, he came back with the phone and put it back in its place. He looked aggrieved. "Mommy, why won't you let me video call Daddy? I haven't seen him for a week. I miss him so much."

"He’s probably working now. You’ll disturb him if you call him now." I made up an excuse and hoped that Munchkin would buy it.

After hearing this, Munchkin was quiet for a moment, but only for a moment. After a while, he continued, "Later, then. Daddy should probably be done working later."

He muttered to himself and then went to the side to play by himself.

I just hoped that he would forget about this later. It would be fine if he forgot. He would then go to school the next day, and I would be able to be at ease in the meantime.

However, I underestimated Munchkin. It was already getting late when Munchkin came over again. "He must be off work now, Mommy. Let's call Daddy quickly."

I pursed my lips and opened my mouth to make up another excuse, but I heard Munchkin murmur throatily in a low voice, "I really miss Daddy."

Although I did get into a fight with Theo, Munchkin was still close to him. Theo would probably give me face even if I called him.

Thinking this, I agreed.

I picked up the phone immediately. After unlocking it, I opened Whatsapp. I always had his number at the top.

I cleared my throat and started a voice call.

It took a long while before it connected, and Theo's magnetic voice came from the receiver. "What?" It was chilling and made my heart tremble abruptly.

"Munchkin wants to talk to you,” I replied coldly as well and then handed the phone over to Munchkin.
