Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2449

In the still of the night, only the lights in the study were turned on.

Standing at the door, I hesitated if I should go in and ask for clarity.

After pondering for a moment, I finally reached my hand out and knocked on the door.

“Come in.”

Hearing that familiar voice, I pushed open the door and entered.

There was a trace of surprise in Theo’s eyes when he looked up at me. I looked at him and asked softly, “What’s wrong? Did you think I was Delia?”

He would not have done this in the past since I was the only one allowed in the study.

He lowered his head and went back to his work without responding to me.

I slowly approached and stood in front of his desk.

“Theo, let’s have a proper talk.” I deliberately emphasized the word ‘proper.’

The study was enveloped inpin-drop silence. Even though my voice was soft, it was extraordinarily loud in this quiet atmosphere.

Theo looked up at me again when he heard what I said. “About the divorce?”

“Yes.”

I pulled out the chair across from him and sat down with a serious expression on my face.

Seeing me take a seat, Theo also put down the work in hand. He closed the document and put it aside before glancing at me calmly. “Let's talk, then.” His tone was neither heavy nor light, but I could sense a feeling of insignificance.

This attitude made my heart drop again.

I looked around and did not see any electronic equipment that could be surveillance. There was no need for Theo to continue pretending with me.

It was not like Delia was eavesdropping outside the door. I knew very well that there was nobody outside the door now.
