Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2355

Delia.

I got very sensitive now when I heard her name.

Ignoring the concern in my heart, I pretended nothing happened and said, "I do want to know, but I think they were probably just discussing a partnership."

"A partnership? Are you serious?!"

Shannon felt like giving me a slap in the face when she heard my answer. She looked helpless. "What’s there to hide if it's just a partnership? Was it necessary for Theo to lie to you?"

It seemed unnecessary.

I took a deep breath. Biting my lower lip, I was contemplating another reason to convince myself and make me feel better, but before I could speak, Shannon continued, "Wanda, I know you trust him a lot considering how long you’ve been together with him, but you have to pay attention to this matter.”

"Oh, there are so many partnerships that are now kept secret and not revealed in the early stages. I think this is likely the case."

"Let’s see how long you're going to lie to yourself."

Shannon stopped talking to me, probably because she did not seem to be able to convince me. She got up and went back to her own seat, throwing herself back into work.

I was lying to myself.

I probably really was.

Forget it, I was not going to think about it anymore. Work was the most important thing.

Although I tried my best to ignore that matter, I still thought of it unconsciously.

I finally wore myself out during my lunch break.

Psychological pressure was more onerous than pressures from work.

I dripped a few eye drops and rubbed my eyes. I was resting with my eyes closed when my phone rang.

It was a string of numbers that I had not contacted for a long time, but they made me feel warm.

When I picked up the phone, I could not help the smile that appeared on my face. My voice was soft and polite, "Chancellor Lowell."

It was my university chancellor calling.
