Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2368

My clothes were completely soaked after I had walked for just a short while.

I looked ahead with blurry vision. There was still a long way to go.

There was a small, Western-style building not far ahead, and there was a tiny shade to the side of the door. I walked forward and sheltered myself from the rain.

When would this rain stop pouring?

A gust of cool wind hit me, and I shivered.

However, it was not just my body that was cold. The chill in my heart was even more thorough than the cold outside.

I crouched down halfway and curled up my body.

Cats huddled themselves for warmth when it was cold.

Now, I was like an abandoned cat, huddled in a corner alone and ignored.

The phone in my pocket was vibrating so intensely. I fished it out and finally answered.

"Sis Wan, do you have time this afternoon? Could you come down to the Hyperspace this afternoon to discuss the progress of the project?" Marius' sunny voice registered in my ears.

My throat moved as I hesitated whether or not to speak.

My voice would probably sound very off if I were to speak now.

There was a moment’s pause. When he heard no response, Marius spoke again, "Are you listening, Sis Wan?"

Sniffling, I took a deep breath and responded lightly, "Sorry, I may not be able to go over this afternoon."

Sure enough, my voice sounded nasal, so it was difficult not to arouse suspicion.

Marius was obviously stunned, and his concerned tone sounded over the receiver, "What's the matter? Are you sick? The rain sounds really loud over there. Are you outside?"

He bombarded me with a series of questions, but I could not answer him.

I bit my lip and hung up the call, burying my head in my arms. I tried really hard to control my emotions and calm down, but I could not help myself as long as I kept thinking about the scene from just now.

The more I thought about what just happened, the colder I felt. Even my hair was standing on end.
