Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 29

The car was quiet once again. I started the car and drove back to the villa.

On the way back, I rolled down the car windows and let the wind blow against my flushed face. After some time, I finally felt better. However, Theo’s words, "You owe me a child." kept replaying in my mind.

It seemed like he had really gotten himself drunk for the past few days because of our child. He must have genuinely loved the child a lot! That was why he blamed himself for not protecting the child well. 1

When I thought about this, I was overcome with heavy emotions.

But what could I do?

Cindy was his responsibility. She was a responsibility that he would never let go of for his entire lifetime. If I insisted on keeping the child, Cindy would threaten m e with her life again. He would be the only one suffering then.

I was already tired of this emotional struggle between the three of us. Now with a child in the picture, I did not dare to imagine what would happen.

Hence I had made the best choice for all of us. I would bring the child away, and he could continue looking

after Cindy. This would be the best outcome for everyone.

My thoughts were all over the place as I continued driving. Soon, we reached the villa.

I looked at Theo’s face as he slept. I opened the door of the passenger seat and shook his arm. "Theo Grant!" I called out softly.

He slowly opened his eyes and looked around. He then turned around to look at me. "Did you take me home?" He asked in an even tone.

I nodded. It seemed like the alcohol was wearing off.

"Let's go in. It is late." After going through an eventful night, I felt rather tired.

He did not say anything. He simply leaned against the seat motionlessly. He seemed to be deep in thought.

"Do you need my help?" I asked. He was slowly getting sober. Perhaps he did not have the energy to get down from the car.

"I will sleep here for a little while longer." After that, h e closed his eyes once again.

My outstretched arm was left there for a moment.
