Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2406

“How did you end up getting locked in here? You made me worried sick.” Marius’ brows furrowed together as worry filled his dark eyes.

I knew Marius was worried. Just when I wanted to explain, he beat me to it. “It was Zoey, wasn’t it?”

His expression was severe, and I could tell at a glance that he was pissed.

“Yeah. She asked me to bring her clothes here, and I realized the door was locked the moment it closed,” I explained roughly.

“So it is.” Marius sneered. His attitude toward Zoey had not been that good these few days either. His disgust had been accumulating until today, and it was about to blow up now. “I asked in the group just now where you and she pretended to be pitiful.”

Seeing that Marius was nearly enraged, I was afraid that he would do something impulsive, leading to unpredictable consequences. I quickly patted his hand. “Just endure it for a bit, yeah? It's better not to cause more trouble before the filming is over. It won’t do us any good.”

He knew I had a point, and the anger on his face subsided by some.

Zoey had been very gallant toward Marius every day for the past few days. Anyone with eyes could see it.

Yet anyone with a brain also knew that Zoey’s enthusiasm was wasted on Marius.

The others naturally felt dissatisfied with Zoey when they saw this.

Of course, I, who had been locked up here for so long, was also dissatisfied. However, I could only endure it when I thought of the advertisement.

“We’re not under another’s control, so we can't act rashly,” I persuaded again.

Hearing what I said, Marius' anger extinguished wholly, his eyes filled with distress when he looked at me.

“But Wanda…”

“No buts. It’s just a small setback. I’m not that weak.” I smiled and patted him on the shoulder. I rounded past him and exited the bathroom. “You definitely haven’t eaten yet since you came looking for me, yeah? Let’s go, dinner’s on me.”
