Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 263

"Okay!" Cecilia answered, spooning two greasy meatballs onto her plate as she spoke.

The expression on Mason's face immediately turned even darker, but he did not say anything else.

Xander and Jerome, who were sitting on the other side as well, were whispering to each other. They seemed to never run out of things to say to each other.

Sweeping my gaze across everyone, I grew bored and lowered my head to eat several mouthfuls of the food Theo had piled onto my plate before I lost my appetite.

Cindy gave Theo a meaningful look before turning to look at me. She had a soft smile on her face as she said, "Wanda, I never knew you were so popular. Not only are you friends with an actor, but your other friend is so handsome as well. Do you make friends with people because of their looks?”

Although Jerome was usually a carefree person who did not care much about anything and teased us daily, he could be even more protective of us than Cecilia was when outsiders were around.

I had noticed the sly look on his face ever since Cindy walked in. He had been waiting for his chance.

Sure enough, he took the lead once Cindy finished

speaking.

"Not only is Wanda beautiful, but she has a kind heart as well. There are all sorts of wonderful men who are willing to be friends with her. Unlike someone else at this table, an unwanted woman who only knows how t o badger another man's wife. You have Wanda's good temper to thank for tonight's dinner! If I were her, I would have already made sure you landed in serious trouble."

His words were so brutally honest that they made everyone at the table sink into awkwardness. No one said anything else.

Only Zedd, sitting on the other side, could not bear to watch his beloved get insulted. He glared at me and said, "It’s true when they say birds of the same feather flock together. The people you mix with are all like you, rude and with a penchant for hurting others."

"You're President Nichols, right? I wholeheartedly agree with your statement. Let's take you as an example. You're only fit to be in the same category as a b*tch like Cindy. Do you think it's cool to yell at another woman? Marry her and take her home with you if you have the guts to do it. That way, she’ll stop thinking about snatching another woman's husband from her. If you do that, I'll be willing to address you a s a man."

"Do you think he’ll like her as much as he does now if he marries her? Some men are total b*stards, and they only like the ones they can’t get. The minute they succeed, she becomes nothing to him," Cecilia said abruptly.

She stared at Mason as she said that, the corners of her lips curling up into a mocking smile.

I was stunned. Given the way she was acting now, it looked like there was indeed some history between the both of them.

In an instant, the atmosphere at the dinner table grew even weirder.
