Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 262

When Jerome noticed the shift in my gaze, he hurriedly said, "Don't listen to Cecilia, nothing is going on between us. We're just friends, aren't we?"

Then, he glared at Xander.

"Yes, just friends!" Xander’s eyes were the only part of his face that could be seen, and they seemed less bright than usual as the light in them dimmed.

At the end of the day, these were their private matters. I smiled and changed the topic, saying to Jerome," You came at just the right time. I might be heading to Whaldorf City tonight and won’t be able to accompany you any longer. Help me take care of Cecilia these few days if you're not going to leave yet."

"Holy sh*t, how dare you! You made me come back here, and you're running off now? Then what am I supposed to stay here for?!" Jerome's reaction was a little over the top as he stared at me.

I massaged my temples and said apologetically, "I’m s o sorry about all of this. It all happened all of a sudden."

When I asked him to return, I had not expected Theo t o want to set out to Whaldorf City so soon.

"Ah, whatever. I won't hold a grudge against you

because you’re a woman. Is Theo taking you there for a checkup?” He winked at me.

I immediately understood what he meant by 'a checkup'.

Worried that he would say something even more shocking, I blushed and hurriedly said, "Your treatment plans have been very effective. We can continue through video calls once I've settled down over there."

"Yes, I was thinking the same thing. This is a longterm process, and these issues won’t go away in a day. I'm working on curating a plan even more suitable for you. We should be able to start once you return.”

As expected, he straightened his face and began speaking solemnly once treatment was mentioned.

"I'll be going to Whaldorf City in two days too. I'll contact you when I get there," Xander said from beside me.

I nodded. "Alright, remember to call me once you’re there.” Being able to meet a good friend in a foreign city was something to be happy about.

Now that I had finished talking to Jerome, I walked back to the bed and tugged on Cecilia's hand as I said," I still don't feel great about leaving you here. Why don’t you come along with me?”

"Silly, I have arms and legs that still function. What is there to worry about? I'll return to the countryside once you guys leave and visit you when you give birth.
