Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 1985

This question seemed to stop Theo.

I could feel the obvious tremble from him, but I did not know if it was because I was too close or if I had been too blunt.

Theo looked at me with a bit of horror in his eyes, gulping. He did not seem to know what to say.

My brows relaxed, and I smiled lightly. "Forget it. It's fine if you can't answer. What was it that you wanted to talk about?" I crossed my arms around my chest and looked at him, waiting for him to answer.

He immediately replied to me after he calmed down and gathered his expression, "I want to ask you a serious question. I hope you can answer me seriously."

His sudden seriousness made my heart skip a beat. Looking into his eyes, there seemed to be a deep and distant sea. I could not see the end of it.

"Okay, ask away." I could not really help the words that jumped out of my throat.

Theo pinched his thin lips lightly, and they were a rosy pair. His natural red lips and white teeth were enviable, and I began to think wildly again. In order to answer him seriously, however, I put aside all these distracting thoughts and looked at only him.

His throat moved slightly, then a question slowly slipped out, "Have we ever been in love?"

Hearing this, I could not help but sigh.

I did not expect him to ask such a question. Could it be that he remembered something?

It was like I had grasped a thread in his memory, so I wanted to cling to it tightly. "Why ask such a question?"

"Nicky told me that you and she used to be good friends, but because you fell in love with me, you turned against each other. Yet, every time I see you and I look into your eyes, it always makes me feel that things aren’t as she said and that we had truly loved each other.”

Theo uttered every word very seriously and with much emotion.

My frozen heart seemed to be gradually thawing at this moment. Looking at him, warmth suddenly flowed through my heart. "What if I told you that I’m your wife?"

Hearing my words, he frowned. Theo lowered his eyes and said nothing.
