Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 425

I marched over, grabbed his phone, and put it on speakerphone.

"Theowy, there are some things between me and her that need to be settled." Cindy’s voice was filled with grievance. "Besides, I didn't go looking for trouble with her. I only wanted to talk to her properly, but she refused and said really nasty things to me."

Irritation flashed on Theo’s face. “No matter what it is between you and her, I'll take over from now on. You can talk to me about it, but only on the phone."

"Theowy!" Cindy sounded like she was about to cry. " Why are you so cold toward me now?"

Theo closed his eyes, and when he opened them again, they were filled with infinite iciness. "I don't have to say too much about whose hands my baby died in, and there are some things that I don't want to talk about. All you need to know is someone needs to pay the price for my baby's death. There are some responsibilities and relationships that I'm willing to forsake because of that.”

Even though Theo said he did not want to spell things out, his intentions were clear enough that even someone of Cindy's caliber would understand what he meant.

There was silence on the other end of the phone.

Theo lowered his gaze and added faintly, "There’s nothing to talk about regarding your mother. Even little children understand the principle of paying the price for the wrongdoings they committed."

"My mother didn’t do anything wrong!" Cindy started lying to herself.

Theo scoffed. "Go tell that to the police, then."

Right after, he hung up.

I looked at him and was flabbergasted. "Are you really that heartless toward Cindy now?"

Theo placed his phone back into his pocket. "She should know by now that not everything has to go her way."

I pouted and said nothing.

"Are you satisfied with what I said just now?" Theo walked behind me and snaked his arms around my waist.
