Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2548

Looking into the bottom of my mysterious eyes, Shannon stood before me. "What's the reason? Can you tell us?"

I lowered my gaze and hesitated a little before answering, "I'm sorry, Shannon. I can't tell you the reason for now, but I guarantee you guys that I will when the time is right. I just can't say it yet…"

Shannon held my hand and looked back at Marius and Tyler before averting her gaze back to me. "I respect your decision. I also believe that you won't disappoint us after what happened last time. You can tell us when you feel like it. So, we now need to ensure the children's safety. Will they be fine at Drover's place?"

"Drover's security measures are the best. Also, outsiders aren’t allowed to come in. He has many partners in the laboratory downstairs who have been with him for several years. If his place isn't safe, then there's probably nowhere else the children can go," Marius said truthfully

"I agree with that."

Drover’s place was indeed the best choice.

I pursed my dry lips. "Munchkin still needs his education, but I'm worried about hiring tutors from outside…"

"Don't worry. Drover will teach him. There's no need to worry with him as the teacher, no?" Marius' tone was breezy.

"Good, then." The more I thought about it, the more something felt off. "I think should still look for Delia to gain a better understanding."

Shannon shot up to her feet when she heard that. "I'll go with you."

Seeing how worried she was, I knew she was afraid that I would get bullied. I waved my hand. "It's alright. I can handle it myself. You ought to deal with the company. I haven't been to the company in so long, so you have to be there. Make them feel at ease."

"Delia is no good egg considering that she has Nibel as her backer. We won't feel at ease if you go alone." Tyler was looking at me without an expression on his face, but there was deep concern in his words.

I smiled and spread my hands out. "It's not my first time touching base with her. I understand plenty well how she does things. Don't worry, I’ll get someone to look over me from the shadows. Also, since she has such a big shot as her backer, I’ll be in danger regardless if I go to her or not, no?"
