Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 212

I was a little moved, cracked a smile, and asked, "But I'm too heavy. Can you lift me up?"

He answered with his actions as he squatted down and effortlessly lifted me up. We then made our way down the hill.

I was reminded that we had walked quite a distance and got a bit worried. I wrapped both my arms around him and asked, "Aren't I heavy? Can you continue carrying me like this?"

"You're still alright. You’re just a bit lighter than a little pig." There was a smirk at the corner of his mouth.

He loved working out, so his body was muscular and strong. I would not be worried although I had gained a little more weight but since he was still recovering from serious injuries, I could not help but feel somewhat concerned.

I struggled to try to get down. "I think you should put me down. I'll walk back slowly.”

He exerted more force into his arms and held me tighter. He said in a deep voice, "Don't move, or else we’ll fall."

Seeing how he did not intend to put me down, I could only lay in his arms obediently and try my best to hold

on tightly. That way, my weight on his arms would not be too much to bear.

He looked down and smirked, looking pleased with m y actions.

Just like that, he carried me all the way back to the villa. Even when we arrived home, he still did not let m e down and carried me to the bedroom on the second floor.

Even though I had slept a lot during the day, I was still extremely exhausted. I quickly washed up upon reaching the bedroom and fell asleep as soon as I hit the bed.

Theo went to the study to work overtime. I did not know when he came back. I woke up the next day and the other side of the bed was already empty.

I got down from the bed and scanned through the study, but there was no one there. The bookshelf caught my eye and I walked over to it, only to see that i t was filled with various books on pregnancy. I glanced through them and guessed that there were probably dozens of them.

Theo must have moved all these here, right?

A warm current rose from the bottom of my heart. At least it showed that he was preparing hard for the child’s birth. It showed that he was welcoming this new life with all his heart. I could not help but touch m y belly. It felt like this child was changing every one of us.

I turned and headed downstairs. Miss Woods was doing some housekeeping. She saw me and said," Young Mistress, today's breakfast was made by Young Master himself. He woke up bright and early to make your favorite oatmeal. There are even some buns and eggs. He only headed out after preparing all these. I'll g o get them for you."
