Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 432

I nodded. "It's been a long time since I met Cecilia and Jerome. Plus, I've been calling Cecilia but she never picks up. Meanwhile, Jerome hangs up after just a few sentences. I have a feeling that they’re hiding something from me. I won’t be able to celebrate New Year's in peace if I don't pay them a visit."

"It’d be good for me to go over and have a look as well." Theo took his phone and started scrolling. "Let me check my schedule. I can accompany you there."

"It’s fine," I quickly answered, "You’re busy during the year-end. I can handle this myself."

Theo kept quiet until he put his phone down. "I can take the chance to visit the hospitals over there. A few branches there have been encountering problems recently. Even Mason hasn't been able to handle the situation there well. It seems like a sticky situation."

Mason had always been in charge of the medical business and now that there were many problems, I could not help but be reminded of what Heidi told me.

Honestly, I did not want to suspect Mason for anything, but if what Heidi said was true, Theo might end up getting hurt. Hence, it was better to be safe than sorry. 1

"About you and Mason..." I stopped halfway because it felt strange to ask him about it in such a direct manner.

Theo was confused. "What about me and Mason?”

I shook my head. "I know that you two met during university, but I don't know how you two became good friends. I'm curious."

It took time and many shared experiences for someone to completely trust another. I should be able t o find out something about their past by asking this question.

Theo frowned. "There’s nothing much to say about this, though."

I squinted.

Judging from his expression, I could tell that something not too pleasant had happened in the past and he was reluctant to tell me about it.

Since he was unwilling to tell me, I would not force him. I thought about it for a while and said, "I'm curious, but if you're unwilling to tell me, then forget about it."
