Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 2697

Seeing my hesitation, Theo's expression became uglier and uglier. He grabbed my cold hand. His face was twisted in a tight frown, but his tone was still soft. "If something is really going on, just tell me. Don't worry about the consequences, I’ll bear them with you."

Bear them with me…

However, I could not guarantee that we could afford this risk…

I still did not dare face Theo. His eyes were dim for a moment while my nose and eyes turned red.

Noticing that something was off with me, Theo held up my face anxiously and turned me to him. Distress filled his eyes when saw how red mine were. He wiped away the tears at the corners of my eyes. "What's the matter? We're the only ones at home. Is there something you can't tell me?"

Sniffling, I lowered my head. "I'm just worried that it'll affect other people."

"What happened?"

I looked at Theo. The anxiety on his handsome face was on full display at the moment. He was actually right. This was our home. Regal Villa was very safe. No matter how they planned, they would not be able to ambush us here.

This matter should be told to Theo.

After organizing my thoughts, I exhaled and started, "Samuel actually approached me again."

Theo was immediately on his guard when he heard this as if he had sensed danger. "What conditions did he want you to agree to?"

"He wants me to leave Grant Corporation, to leave you..." When I looked up to meet Theo's gaze, I saw the surprise in his eyes.

Immediately afterward, he was contemplative as I stared at his sullen face quietly.

Some time passed before Theo finally opened his mouth to say, "You can only agree."

His voice was weak as if there was no energy in them.
