Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2024

Nicky looked at Munchkin. There was a wicked charm in her eyes. I quickly shielded him behind me and looked at her vigilantly. "Munchkin is still a child. If you’re going to do anything, just come at me."

Hearing this, she shrugged and looked at me with a funny expression. "It’s broad daylight. What can I do? Since you’ve disturbed us, an apology would suffice, no?"

She just wanted an apology?

I opened my mouth. "Alright then."

After sorting out my emotions, I said sincerely, "Director Doyle, I’m truly sorry for not taking care of my child today and allowing him to disrupt your work. I request your understanding and forgiveness if he has brought you any disturbance. I will teach him a lesson when I go back."

Hearing my apology, Nicky smacked her lips. She seemed to be taking to it. "I think just a verbal apology is too easy. Why don't you perform some real action, such as bending over and bowing or something?"

"Nicky, isn’t this request a bit too much?" Theo could not help but speak up from the side.

Nicky obviously would not let us go so easily. His words only aggravated our situation.

Sure enough, after hearing what Theo said, Nicky's initially soft expression instantly turned furious. "Are you actually speaking up for them? If Wanda doesn't bow and offer her apology today, I’ll never let it go!"

"I came up here according to the rules. Even if you won’t let me go, Director Doyle, what can I do?" I said lightly. There was not the slightest emotion in my eyes that was directed at her. Holding Munchkin's hand, I was about to leave.

Behind me, Nicky's voice sounded again, "Wanda Lane, you ought to think through the things I’ll do if you leave like this. You don’t know the price that you’ll have to pay."

I was not worried about what she would do to me. I was just worried about what she would do to Munchkin.

I stopped and hesitated.

"Have you given it a thought, Wanda? My patience is limited."
