Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 20

I did not say anything. Cecilia did not know about the baby yet.

"When are we leaving? I will need to hand over the shop to someone else first." She had waited a long time for this day, and now she was full of anticipation.

"Soon. When I am done with what I need to do, the three of us will leave for a brand new city together and start over." Since I had already made up my mind, I did not want to delay any longer. The sooner we settled this, the better.

"Three of us?" Cecelia glanced at my belly. She then took the iced milk tea from my hands and replaced it with a cup of hot water. "It is okay. I am here. The three of us will be happy."

She had always understood me so well and always so accommodating to me. I thought this must be the true meaning of having a best friend!

After coming out of Cecilia's place, I felt completely relieved. Once I had made the decision, I felt much better in my heart.

I took out my phone and called Mason. This time, it only rang once before the call got through.

"Wanda!" He called my name in surprise.

"Do you have time tonight? I want to treat you to dinner."

He seemed surprised. "Okay," he said after a pause. " Time and place?"

"I will send it to you!" I hung up and sent the time and place to Mason.

It was still early, so I went to the office first to settle some work backlogs first. When I looked at the time, it was already four in the afternoon.

I turned to Heidi and said, "Help me get the divorce papers that the President's assistant Keith sent over previously."

Back then, when Keith sent the papers as per Theo's order, I was furious and had asked Heidi to put it away. 1

Heidi was stunned. She looked at me and said," Wanda, you?"

The dispute between the Grant family and I had always been apparent. She was silent for a while before saying, "Wanda, are you agreeing to the divorce? Have you forgotten your promise to Grandmother? Besides, the shares that are rightfully yours can only be transferred to you after five years."

Before Grandmother passed away, she allocated a portion of the company's shares to me. However, the prerequisite was that I had to be with Theo for five years before the shares could be transferred to me.

Thinking about it, she was probably afraid that I would not be able to hold on to my words and planned to leave.

Although I knew Heidi was saying this for my own good, I could not explain it to her. I just said, "I have m y own plans. You just need to go get the papers."
