Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 363

He was guilt-ridden, and I could definitely make good use of that. There was no reason not to.

Sure enough, he let go of me and thoughtfully helped tidy me up. "Let's go and have dinner."

I ditched his hand as he was trying to hold me and just walked out of our room.

Miss Woods stuck out her head and saw me walking down the stairs. She was delighted to see me. "Young Mistress, please allow me a moment. Dinner's almost ready!”

I had my smiley face on as I talked to her. "No worries, take your time."

Theo went to his study to answer a phone call. As I was about to walk to the living room to take a seat, I saw a car stopping in front of the villa.

A lady came down from the car. It was the woman I despised the most, Cindy Reed.

I took a deep breath, tried to suppress the hatred inside me, and walked toward the entrance.

Cindy's belly was so huge she had to have a maid hold her as she walked in. When she saw me, disbelief filled her face.

She forgot she was pregnant for a moment when she saw me. She shook off the hand that was holding her u p and came running towards me. She was extremely agitated as she asked, "Why are you here?"

Cindy was irritated by my words. "Aren't you and Theowy going to get a divorce soon?"

"It looks like Miss Reed is well-informed,” I had my arms crossed in front of my chest. I leaned towards her slightly and said to her face, very literally right in front of it, "Who told you that? Theo?"

I was taller than her, so it seemed like I was talking down to her. It was so condescending that I knew she felt uncomfortable. She took two steps back and tried t o talk to me at my eye level, with her head held up high. "Wanda Lane, you're just like a sticky plaster, so sticky nothing can rip you away."
