Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2145

It was getting dark, and I happened to reach home before it got completely dark.

The villa was usually brightly lit. Why was it so dark today?

Did Theo not say that he was going to prepare dinner today? Why was no one here?

I entered the living room. I was about to turn on the lights when there was suddenly music. It startled me, but it was romantic piano music.

Amid the soothing and melodious music, the lights in the dining room slowly came on; they looked like spotlights. There were tall glasses, red wine, and a simple but high-end western meal on the table.

Theo appeared in front of me before I could react. He still looked the same as he did in the day. He was wearing a black suit, looking very formal.

I was stunned for a moment. I looked at him and could not help asking. "What day is it today? Why did you prepare all this?"

He walked toward me slowly with a bouquet of roses before handing them to me. "You actually forgot. It’s our wedding anniversary." There was slight accusation in his tone but also amusement.

At his response, I remembered. "Did we get married today?"

It had been so long ago that I could not recall it for a moment.

Theo led me to the dining table and pulled out a chair for me. "Consider the second proposal since that was our real start."

"I see, so this is our first anniversary."

"There will be many more in the future. Won’t it be your turn to prepare it next time?" Theo asked me with raised eyebrows.

I gave him a blank stare without hesitation. "Aren’t men the ones to do these kinds of things? We women just need to be responsible."

"What a domineering woman."

It was the first time I heard Theo call me that.
