Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 36

"Wanda!" He frowned and pursed his thin lips, glaring at me coldly.

Our eyes met, and I felt stifled. I was not afraid of the coldness in Theo's eyes.

After a long while, he said, "I saw Cecilia just now."

I froze. I expected Theo to scold me and then force me to apologize. What I did not expect was him resorting t o despicable means of using Cecilia to threaten me. H e knew how important Cecilia was to me.

I looked at him. He was smiling coldly while looking back at me quietly.

I felt a chill in my heart. After a moment of silence, I walked around him and came to Cindy. "I apologize!"

Cindy still looked like she had just endured a great grievance.

Zedd, who was hugging her, sneered and said disdainfully, "You have no sincerity at all. Cindy has such a big bump on the back of her head. We cannot just let it go like this."

I laughed out of anger. I suppressed the anger in my heart and asked coldly, "What does President Nichols want me to do?"

"How about this? For Second Brother's sake, I will not make things difficult for you. As long as you punish yourself by downing ten glasses of wine, I will consider this matter to be over."

How was this not making things difficult for me? He knew that I had just undergone surgery, and my body had yet to recover completely.

"Zedd, stop messing around." Mason, who had been silent all this while, frowned and spoke up.

"Second Brother, what do you think?" Zedd looked at Theo.

Theo narrowed his eyes and looked at me. Finally, he looked at Cindy and said, "What do you think?"

"Theowy, Wanda is one of us. I believe that she did not do it on purpose. The apology is not the most

important thing. I have not met Wanda for so many days. Let her come with us to have a drink. It is rare for us to get together like this."

It was not surprising coming from Cindy. Her words were always beautiful and appropriate for the occasion. I almost could not help but applaud her act.

Theo did not say anything.

I walked forward and asked Cindy. "Where is the private room?"
