Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2283

I paused, thinking about what intentions she might have, but she did not say anything for a long time.

Perhaps my contemplative state had made Harriet mistakenly think that I was sad. "Theo usually looks cold but is unexpectedly very good at caring for others,” she said.

Harriet's tone was a little shyer this time as if she was recalling Theo's tenderness toward her that night.

I pursed the corners of my mouth coldly and turned around, but not before casting a cold glance at her. "Miss Osborn, did you think that saying this would make me very angry? If so, I'm afraid you’ll be disappointed. He, as a man, should take care of women, especially when both of you went missing. If my husband couldn’t even do that, that would be too ungentlemanly of him. I’m very happy he did it."

I looked into Harriet’s eyes. I could sense her smugness but did not let it overwhelm me.

"If you think my husband was kind to you that night because he was interested in you, then I have to clarify things on his behalf. Even if he doesn't want me, he won't look at a woman like you."

I saw the anger on Harriet's face the moment I said that, but I did not pay it any heed. I turned around and walked forward.

Harriet shouted angrily from behind me. "Wanda, explain yourself! What do you mean by a woman like me? What's wrong with me?! Come back!"

I ignored her and continued forward.

I did not expect that Harriet would run up and grab my hair, however. "Explain it!"

I let out a low hiss of pain and then pushed her hard. The 'weak' Harriet immediately fell to the ground.

She glared at me with furious eyes and pointed at me viciously. "Wanda Lane, you! How dare you push me?!"

Harriet’s words did not flow neatly, probably due to her anger. Her face had also turned red.

I straightened my hair and looked at her condescendingly. "If you’re not a child, get up on your own. You’re the one who laid a hand on me first."

A flashing light caught my attention at this moment.
