Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2027

Drover had a smile on his face. He tilted his head, looking like he was trying to recall scenes from that day.

There was a long pause before he chuckled and said, "I just thought you were a little silly that day. If it wasn't for Theo by your side, I wouldn't have believed that you were husband and wife."

I did not expect the first impression I gave him to be like this. I was stunned for a moment before I laughed. "Forget about it. I was really confused that day. Alright, I accept that."

Drover was obviously a little surprised by my reaction. He raised a brow. It looked like there was a bit of a smile mixed in. "What you said that day made me look at you with admiration, though."

He clasped his hands behind him and turned his back to me. His voice, however, was clear. "I had never met someone like you who could speak so freely despite not understanding anything yet make sense."

Hearing this, I began to feel embarrassed. "I think I got in over my head that day and started blurting things out regardless if it was right or wrong. Thinking about it now, though, I had been too impulsive."

"But you succeeded in making me remember you." He pursed his lips. They were in a slight smile, and when he turned around, his eyes were soft and sultry like the moonlight.

Sensing that the atmosphere was changing little by little, Drover opened his mouth silently.

As if realizing something, I quickly turned my head sideways and looked away. "It's getting late. I'm going back to my room to rest."

Probably because I said this first, Drover could only swallow back the words that had reached his throat before replying, "Sleep early. Good night."

"Good night."

I hurried back to my room, my heart pounding.

Sitting on the edge of the bed, I thought back to the scene when we were downstairs. Did he have something he wanted to say if I had not said anything…

I bit my lower lip as I felt mixed emotions in my heart.

Distraught, I picked up my phone and began swiping through it.
