Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1976

It was late at night when we got back to the villa.

Nicky seemed to have been waiting for me in the living room for a long time, and when she saw me coming in, she got up.

I glanced at her before going upstairs.

Obviously, Nicky stopped me. "Wait."

Turning my head, I looked at her calmly with my brow raised slightly. "What is it?"

She approached me step by step. "Have you made it clear to Tyler?"

There was a trace of doubt in her eyes. I did not understand what she was trying to say. "What did you think I told him?"

Nicky shed all pretenses and said to me, "There’ll be no more people breaking into our house in the middle of the night, yes?"

I smiled. "Are you worried that someone will expose your true colors again? It’s not as if I can predict that. They all have power, after all. They can enter if they want."

I shrugged. I did not want to be entangled with Nicky anymore. I wanted to get rid of her and go upstairs, but she still came up to me and held me back. "What do you mean? Could this kind of thing still happen?"

I shook off her hand. I looked at her and iterated every word clearly, "You should have thought that there would be such consequences from the moment you released the news. I’m not them. I have no way of knowing what they’ll do next. If you’re worried, do something. It’s useless threatening me.”

Nicky frowned, unease filling her face. Her eyelids drooped slightly as she muttered, "Theo already asked me so many questions because of this. It can’t happen again."

It turned out Theo had questioned her. No wonder there was such a huge shift in her mood.
