Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 21

Seeing my expression change, Mason continued, "I thought my first meal with you would be quite dull. I did not expect it to be much better than I imagined."

I smiled helplessly. I supposed it was my silent character that made Mason think that way.

I was not a talkative person, so I did not know what to say. I simply said, "I need your help for something, Doctor Mason. Will you help me?"

He raised his eyebrows and leaned his long body back to look at me. "No wonder you suddenly invited me out to dinner. Tell me, what do you need help with?"

"I... I need an abortion!"

He stared at me for a long time before saying in a joking tone, "I am Theo's good friend. You are trying to get me into trouble."

I looked at him and smiled. "Because you are his good friend, you would not want to watch Cindy kick a fuss every day that would make things difficult for him, right? Also, did you not always hope that you could help bring them together?”

He did not say anything. His perfect brows furrowed, and he stared at me with eyes as dark as night. He was trying to read if there was truth in my words.

I swirled my cup and continued slowly, "Furthermore,

you are very well versed in the field of medicine. I would like you to prescribe some medicine to restore my body too."

He froze, looking at me in surprise.

I smiled but did not say anything. My expression was calm as I let Mason continue staring at me.

After a long while, he smiled and said plainly, "I will d o it!"

"Thank you, Doctor Mason!” There was no need to say much when dealing with smart people like him. Just gazing at me, he knew what I meant in my words.

When the waitress finally served the dishes, he glanced over at me and said, "I did not expect you to b e this smart. I have underestimated you."

I smiled. "This is the best solution. Cindy will not kick a fuss ever again, and Theo will not need to trouble himself to choose his child or his lover."

He nodded, seemingly satisfied with my arrangement. After eating a few mouthfuls of food, he asked casually, "So when do you plan to leave?”

My hand that was picking up food stopped for a moment. I looked up at Mason in shock. I had only made a small move, but he already knew about my final move. It was too terrifying.

"Do not look at me like that. Is it not quite obvious?" H e was quite calm and continued eating slowly.
