Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 231

He did not answer. Instead, he stood up and opened a bottle of red wine. Then, he took a glass and poured m e some water. He said, "I'm in a bad mood. Have a drink with me."

I took up the glass and clinked glasses with him. He picked up the red wine and downed it with one gulp.

"Is it a relationship problem?" I asked softly. I had no idea what was wrong, and I did not know how to comfort him.

In my memory, Jerome’s family was quite rich and they were staying in Whaldorf City. Hence, it was probably not a family problem. The remaining possibility left was a relationship problem. After so many years of not seeing each other, I was not sure about his relationship status.

"Ho." He swirled the red wine in the glass and said, "I had mixed feelings when I saw you and Cecilia still sticking together like a family after so many years. Not like me, I'm destined to be alone."

Apart from the sadness and sorrow in his eyes, I could also see that he was feeling lost.

I poured out the water in my glass and poured myself a little red wine. I might as well join him for a drink. I

did not know why a cheerful guy like him would be so sad. However, a silent companion was more than anything at this moment.

"Come to Salt City. We'll be here for you. We can take care of each other in the future. We'll never abandon each other."

One would meet many friends in a lifetime, but most friendships could not stand the test of time. Many would just fall apart.

My friendship with Cecilia was considered rare. We were not only friends but were each other's family.

"We'll talk about it later!" He was not satisfied drinking a single glass of wine, so he started drinking from the bottle.

I lifted my hand and took the bottle of wine from him." The alcohol content is high. How will your body handle it if you get drunk?"

"It'd be better to die. Death pays all debts. Then, no one will ever force me again."

He snatched the bottle back and continued to drink." It's tiring to be alive. When you need someone's help, n o one cares about you. When they need you, you’ll have to show up. Otherwise, you’ll be said to be ungrateful."
