Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 394

However, recently I was under the impression that Theo no longer cared as much as Cindy. At least, not t o the extent that he would make me suffer for her sake.

Had he changed because of the child?

I lowered my eyes and said calmly, "It wasn’t me. I have nothing to do with this. Even if I wanted to hurt her, I hate her so much that I'd do it myself. I wouldn’t ask anyone else to do it."

The rays of sunlight streamed into the room. Theo's face was against the light, so I could not see the expression on his face clearly. He pulled me into his arms all of a sudden. "Wanda, I'm sorry. I’ll protect you in the future."

I lifted the corner of my lips coldly. "Alright."

I would protect myself in the future. I did not need anyone's protection. If I was able to understand a long time ago that the only way I could protect myself was t o become stronger, would my child still be alive today?

In truth, Theo could not be blamed for this, right? All the tragedies that happened in the world were caused by a person’s weakness.

"Theo..." I pursed my lips. "Is the reason why you

refuse to divorce me because you love me?"

I did not know why I was asking such a lame and meaningless question again. Still, I wanted to ask about it. I probably would not stop asking until I got a n answer I was satisfied with.

"We will never part again in this life." Again, Theo avoided answering the question.

That did not surprise me, and I did not feel disappointed either. I chuckled and said, "Let's hope s o."

Theo's brows were slightly furrowed. "What do you mean by that?"

"Nothing." I pushed him away and got out of the bed." I'm going to the washroom. I'll take a nap later.”

When I came back from the bathroom, I lay down on the bed and saw Theo putting on his clothes. "You're going out?"

Theo nodded his head. He lifted his arms and put the tie around his neck. He then walked toward the bed and leaned over. "Tie it for me”

"Do it yourself.” I rejected him heartlessly. "Didn't you always complain that I can't tie it nicely?"

I used to tie it for him in the past. Each time, he would give me a look of disapproval and tie it himself. I would get upset every time and wondered why he insisted I tie the necktie for him if he would just frown upon me each time.
