Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1938

"Jerome and Xander?"

Theo asked slowly after a long pause.

Sure enough, the two of them were the only ones he could think of.

Even though he could not see it, I still shook my head to myself. "No."

Obviously, Theo was stunned for a moment, then he continued, "Tyler?"

For some reason, he had always had this indescribable hostility toward Tyler. Perhaps it was the remaining first impression from the start that caused Theo's tone to take a poor edge whenever he was mentioned.

"No."

After hearing my response, Theo's voice turned completely cold. "Who is it?"

I closed my eyes to prevent Munchkin from seeing me slip up. I went to the corner and stood still. Facing the scenery outside the window, I said coldly, "Is this important to you?"

I was greeted with a long silence after I asked that.

After a long time, Theo said, "Tell me."

"I'm at Drover's house," I replied without hesitation and with a little temper.

Theo seemed a little surprised. He let out a heavy breath that I could hear very clearly.

For a long period of time after that, we said nothing. The call was then hung up and ended.

Putting the phone down, I sighed.

I turned around and saw Munchkin staring at me. Did he notice something?

I approached him, crouched down, and tapped his forehead. "What's wrong?"

"I keep thinking that you look a little off, Mommy," Munchkin said to me with his head tilted and his big, watery eyes wide open.
