Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 256

Miss Woods gave me a delighted smile and said," There’s no hurry. You haven't eaten yet either, so let’s talk about it after you finish eating. Let me bring you another bowl of soup."

After knowing each other for some time, Miss Woods knew my temper well by now. She had earnestly advised me on this matter because she wanted me to stop being as stubborn as I usually was and instead take the initiative to apologize. Therefore, when she saw me readily agreeing with her, she was, of course, very happy about it.

I understood her intentions. "I’m full now. You can go and scoop some rice!” I said as I drank the soup.

Along with the food and soup Miss Woods had placed on the tray, I picked up the parcel and went up to the second floor.

I hesitated for a long time in front of the study. After some time, I raised my hand and knocked on the door. Theo's deep and cold voice came from inside. "Miss Woods, I’m not hungry. Leave me alone."

"It's me!" I said softly and carefully, my heart in my mouth.

There was no sign of a reply from the inside. As I

stood outside, I grew so nervous my palms became all sweaty.

"Come in." After a while, a cold voice came from the inside.

I was relieved and gently pushed the door open.

Inside the room, Theo sat at the desk with a cold expression and gloomy eyes. He had lit a cigarette in his hand but was not smoking it.

After a pause, I went forward and put the tray down o n the coffee table. I told him, "Miss Woods told me you haven’t had your dinner yet. Come and have some. Today's lotus root with pork rib soup dish tastes really hearty."

After I finished talking, I got up and looked at him quietly.

I was going to ask him if his back was injured, but when I lifted my eyes and looked at him, I was afraid I would make him angry, so I chose to keep quiet.

"How dare you come back?" After a long stand-off, he finally spoke. His voice was cold, his eyebrows straight, and his jawline sharp.
