Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2638

There was a huge shift in Theo’s expression when Neil was brought up. I could clearly see his Adam's apple bob slightly as he swallowed. He seemed nervous.

I did not ask any more questions and just waited for Theo to answer.

A moment passed before Theo slowly answered me, "Maybe. He’s been keeping you company the entire time when you were at Susan’s apartment."

"So, you're jealous?" I asked him with a tilt of my head.

Theo nodded slowly. "Yes. My wife was alone with a stranger. Of course, I’m jealous."

Despite his saying so, he was behaving completely differently than how one would if they were jealous.

He probably had his reasons for keeping the truth from me, but I believed Theo would tell me about it one day. Thus, I did not press him with more questions. Instead, I just smiled and said, "We can’t just keep all our friends at the door after getting married. Come now, I wouldn’t be jealous if you had friends of the opposite sex.”

"Is that so?" Theo asked me back with a smile.

“Of course. That’s because I trust you,” I replied to him without an ounce of hesitation,

Hearing this, a smile broke out on Theo’s handsome face. “Madam is really a sensible person and a good wife.”

“Enough. Cease your praise. I’m going to go shower.”

“Go ahead. I’ll wait for you in bed.”

His words were heavy with implication. I eyed him, my face flushing. Picking up my clothes, I hurriedly ran into the bathroom.

We had a romantic night.

The next day, after dealing with company matters, I invited Shannon out and got her to bring Nina along for a meal.

In the private room of a restaurant…

“Congratulations, Nina. Your relationship with Jason has bore fruit.”
