Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2356

Fast forward to Monday night.

Since the ceremony was on Wednesday, I planned to head over to Salt City by Tuesday.

Theo came in and bumped into me when I was packing my luggage that night. He took a look and asked, "Where are you going?"

"Oh, my university chancellor called. There’s a banquet on Wednesday night, and they want me to go back for the opening ceremony. I agreed and plan to leave tomorrow," I responded to him.

Hearing this, Theo's handsome features furrowed. "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"

Seeing his tight expression, I lowered my head and smirked slightly. "It's just a small matter. I thought you were busy with work recently, so I didn't tell you. I'll be back in two days. Don't worry."

"Are you going alone?"

"Yes. Would you be free to accompany me otherwise, President Grant?" I simply asked back expectantly, eager to hear Theo answer. However, my words stumped him.

He was frozen for a moment, and there was hesitation in his eyes.

A long time passed before I heard his voice. "There are a lot of things going on at the company recently, so I can’t step away. Let me get Keith to accompany you so you have someone to take care of you."

"No, I can take care of myself. It's only two days. It’ll be over soon."

Although it was the expected answer, I was still a little disappointed.

Concealing my loneliness, I continued packing my things.

Lying on the bed at night, the man beside me did not move at all.

Suddenly, a voice registered itself in my ears. "Are you asleep?"

Theo's mellow voice drifted over across the pillow. It was very magnetic.

"Not yet. What’s the matter?" I asked lightly, but I was already almost asleep.

"It feels weird lately."

"What does?"

He turned sideways, and his breath swept across my face. "It seems that our relationship isn’t as good as before."

Theo Grant, you were the one who put up a distance from me first.

I muttered internally but did not dare to say it to his face. I just replied, "Really? I don't think so."

"Is nothing truly wrong?" he asked again.
