Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2452

I was woken up the next day by my phone ringing.

The continuous ringing disturbed me. I felt the table beside me before answering it, “Who is it?”

“Wanda, how can you still be asleep?”

A familiar voice sounded from the receiver. I rubbed my eyes, still feeling a little dazed. “Shannon, what’s going on so early in the morning?”

“Why didn't you tell me you went to the Civil Affairs Bureau with Theo to go through the paperwork?!”

I was taken aback for a moment after I heard this. I was fully awake then. “You know about it?”

“I'm not the only one who knows. Anyone swiping through their phone today probably knows. Let me send the news to you.”

Ding!

Shannon sent me a screenshot.

It was the divorce acceptance receipt that Delia uploaded late last night. Mine and Theo’s names were written on it clearly along with the seal of the handling agency.

I did not expect Theo to actually allow Delia to do this.

I was a little surprised, but it was also expected. Considering Delia’s character, she would have leaked it sooner or later.

“Wanda, this is huge. Why didn’t you talk to me about this?”

“Shannon, I’ll explain to you when I get to the company.”

I could not explain everything clearly on the phone, so I figured it would be better for me to go to the company and discuss it with her in person.

“Alright, you’d best prepare yourself, then. I think everyone in the company knows.”

Shannon’s words also reminded me there was nothing I could do now even if I wanted to hide it. Everyone would know about this, and I did not know what they would do after they find out.

“I got it.”

I hung up the phone, freshened up, and then left the room.

I heard a commotion just before I reached downstairs.

“Theo, this first punch is for Wanda!”

“Why did you come running to someone’s house so early in the morning?!”

Not good.

I thought to myself that this was bad and hurried downstairs to see Marius looking all aggressive and Theo who had been punched. Delia was holding his arm. Marius looked like he wanted to hit Theo again, and Delia was trying her best to stop him. The situation got out of control for a while.

Of course, Delia could not fend Marius off, and the second punch landed on Theo's face accurately. The corners of his mouth that were already red turned purple then.

“This second punch is for the children!” Marius' growls seemed to be filled with infinite energy.

“Marius, you’d better not go too far. If Theo hadn’t stopped me from calling security, you would have long been thrown out!” Delia yelled at Marius.

I watched this scene with a cold expression and slowly spoke up after Delia said that, “Miss Owens, watch your anger lest you land yourself in the hospital again. It’s more important for you to keep the child.”

They all looked at me when they heard my voice.

Delia looked at me, her eyes red. “Wanda, get this crazy man away!”

I walked up and looked at Theo’s red and purplish wound. Delia’s voice sounded in my ears again. “Look at how he injured Theo! He’s really asking for it!”

“Wanda, I…”

Marius was probably trying to explain himself to me, but I just smiled. “Good job.”

Those two punches really struck my heart.

“What did you say, Wanda?” Delia’s tone was full of surprise when she asked this.

Expression sullen, I looked at Delia before glancing at Theo. “You guys caused this. Two punches aren’t even enough to let off steam. Delia, you should’ve expected such a result since you had the gall to leak the receipt onto the internet.”

I redirected my gaze to Marius after throwing her a sharp look and looked down at his red hand...
