Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 287

I looked closely at him. "Can you stop being so childish? Don’t mention things like that again." He would almost always bring this up every time we met.

How could we go back to how things were? Not only was I not able to leave with him because I had a family of my own now, but he had also returned to the Schumans. He had duties and responsibilities of his own, so how could he just leave anytime he wanted?

In the world of adults, there was no such thing as having the freedom to leave without a single burden.

"Is it so hard to separate from Theo? Are you going to stay with him forever?" He took out a cigarette but did not light it up. He just held it between his fingers and gently played with it.

Speechless, I said, "We're husband and wife, so it's only right for me to stay with him forever. Leaving with you is the unusual thing to do, alright? Tyler, although I'm trying to treat you like family and am no longer afraid of you or reject you as I used to, can you please act more like a normal person when you show u p in front of me?"

Every time I saw him, he was either asking me to go back with him or he would be fighting with Theo. I was always stuck in the middle.

"I can guarantee...” He pulled out a lighter from his pocket and swept his gaze across my belly. He paused before putting the lighter back into his pocket and continued to play with the cigarette. He said confidently, "...that you'll soon come and beg me to take you away.”

"Hah!" I looked at him, feeling speechless. "You’re too confident. My baby will soon be born. Do you think I'll take the baby away from Theo and let them grow up i n a single-parent family without a father?"

"You will, and I’m sure of that," he said with unmistakable certainty.

"Tyler, don't you call yourself my brother? Have you seen brothers constantly encouraging their sister to get a divorce? You're putting me in a difficult position, do you know that?” I was so furious that I roared in exhaustion.

"Leave him. Only by leaving him will you be happy. As long as you leave him, I'll let you date anyone and will also help you out after that.” He looked serious.

However, I was extremely angry. I was wasting my breath talking to him for so long. He simply could not listen to reason and I began to grow irritated. "That’s i t. I'm tired and want to go back and rest!"

After saying that, I looked away and walked in.
