Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2481

I had been to Susan's apartment before, and it could be said that I knew my way around this time.

I put the cradle somewhere I could see it then put in a clean underlayer. After that, I put Timothy and Wendy in and started cleaning the house.

No one had lived here for a long time, and the furniture was covered in dust. Just when I was about to change the water in the pail, the doorbell suddenly rang.

I walked over and looked through the peephole. A familiar face came into view.

It was Marius.

I gave it some thought before opening the door anyway.

“Sis Wan, why did you move away without even telling me anything? Is there something wrong with me? Tell me, I can change.” Marius was standing at the door with eyes filled with hurt. His voice was trembling when he asked.

I lowered my gaze. I did not know where to start.

“It's not because of you.” I did not intend to hide anything from Marius. I did not ask him how he found out about this place either. I just said, “You remember how I said that I’m the reason Shannon got hurt, yeah—”

Marius interrupted me before I could even finish. “Sis Wan, that's your own guess. There’s no proof that you’re the one who caused that car accident!”

Marius was really agitated and reached out to grab my shoulder.

His grip was a little strong, and I could not help but squirm. Marius noticed my pained expression and retracted his hands as if he had touched electricity. “I’m sorry, Sis Wan. I lost my composure for a little bit there.”

“I don’t blame you.”

I was the one who left without saying goodbye. The one who should be apologizing was me.

“While there’s no proof, my guess is probably right. I’m the reason Shannon got into the car accident. It's a blessing that nothing bad happened. I can't just..." I paused and continued after calming myself down, “I can’t drag you into this as well. You’ve already helped me with so much. I’ll only be entrapping my benefactor if I don’t leave. Not to mention you’ve already gotten hurt because of me.”

I laughed. It was best that we parted ways.
