Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 272

Matthew frowned and went forward to stop his mother.

Nancy grabbed his hand. "Look at this, Matthew. Look how abominable this woman is! She actually has the audacity to humiliate your mother in public. You need to show her..."

I grew irritable. Although I did not know who was right and who was wrong, Nancy looked no different from a clown at the moment. She had failed to respect everyone’s boundaries and was uneducated. It made m y jaw drop.

I looked at Matthew and said, "Mr. Zimmer, you're a clever man. If you don't want everyone here to keep staring at you like you're a joke, then please let us leave."

Matthew looked at me with a loaded gaze, but I did not evade and stared back at him.

After a very long time, he blandly replied, "Be my guest!"

The bystanders looked excited, clearly interested in the drama. Not wanting to be treated and stared at like a clown, I pulled Quinn aside and got ready to leave.

The four of us were standing in the already narrow path, and although Matthew had stepped aside, Nancy was still stood in the center, unmoving. We could only leave by tilting our bodies to the side.

Who could have guessed that just as I walked past her side, she would suddenly extend her right leg out to trip me?

As I was caught off guard, I lost my balance and found myself falling forward. I was shocked and quickly reached out to cover my belly...

I thought, 'It’s all over!'

Suddenly, someone grabbed my arm from behind and a force pulled me upright again. Immediately after that, my waist was held and I managed to regain my balance.

Standing beside me, Quinn was startled. She reached out to hold me. "You scared me to death! Are you okay?"

I was also frightened out of my wits. Sweat started seeping down my forehead and I spent a lot of time trying to calm myself down, shaking my head to try to clear my lingering fear. "I'm fine.”

After I calmed down, I finally realized that the hand o n my waist had not yet released its grasp. I felt embarrassed and shifted my body involuntarily.

Peering up at Matthew, I muttered, "Thank you!"

He quickly retracted his hand and imperceptibly

frowned a little, saying dully, "You're welcome."
