Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2084

The day of the temple fair soon arrived, and I was awakened by the sound of firecrackers early in the morning.

Recently, my sleeping time had become shorter and shorter due to my growing belly. I often struggled to fall asleep until midnight. The feeling of being woken up by this racket was much too unbearable.

I sighed before struggling to get up from the bed. I went to the living room and saw that Matthew had already woken up. He looked at me. "They’ve been setting off firecrackers at the temple fair. I see they woke you up."

"It’s fine."

"Why don’t you wash up and have breakfast, and then we’ll go look around?"

I was stunned for a moment. My mind was still in a little daze. "Aren't you going to work today?"

He shook his head. There was a smile on the corners of his lips. "I'm not going to work. I’m just going to accompany you."

"Alright, then I'm going to wash up."

To put it nicely, he was accompanying me, but in other words, he was monitoring me.

After breakfast, Matthew took me out.

The moment we reached the streets, we could smell the bursts of firecrackers. It was intense. The road ahead was still shrouded in smoke from the firecrackers that had just been set off.

"It's really lively."

"Yeah, many of the adults will carry statues of gods while the children will raise flags and follow them. They’ll then go to the house that had been drawn. It’s like inviting the gods into one’s house. They’ll bless that family with good weather and safety." Although Matthew never really celebrated these events back home, he still knew a lot about them.

I was also very interested in hearing about them. "Does it work?"

He put his hands in his pockets and smiled softly. "If you’re sincere, you’ll succeed.”

Matthew had become more and more expressive in recent days, which also made me feel more relaxed.

"Do you want to go up and have a look?" He probably noted my expression of interest and asked.

"Okay."

We followed the people in front of us to a house, and there were rows of people already standing outside. "So this is how it is."

"Yes."
