Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 438

I went to the kitchen to bring out the dishes. When I turned around and saw Matthew’s gloomy face right behind me, it gave me a scare. The dish in my hands nearly slipped and fell.

Seeing that he had given me a scare, he apologized softly. "I'm sorry."

I tried to smile but the corners of my lips only twitched. "You can just wait for me at the dining table."

He nodded and walked toward the table.

I served the dishes onto the dining table and sat across from him. Then, I handed him a pair of chopsticks. "Help yourself."

We ate in utter silence. I discreetly glanced at him from time to time and felt the pity in me grow with every glance. I could sense that the whole incident had changed him entirely, almost into a complete stranger from the man I knew.

Matthew stopped eating after a few bites. I understood that he did not have much of an appetite now, so I refrained from commenting on it.

After cleaning the plates, I walked out of the kitchen and saw him looking down from the window. My

heart lodged itself in my throat as I quickly asked," Matthew, what are you doing over there?"

He turned around to meet my eyes, a cold smile plastered across his face. "Are you afraid that I'll think of jumping?"

"Don't!" My pupils constricted as I ran over to grab his arm. "Don't hurt yourself. Your mother wouldn't want t o see you like this. Can you pull yourself together, please?"

He sneered. "Hm? Did you just say that she wouldn't want to see me like this?"

I could see where he was coming from. If Nancy had truly wished not to see him like this, why was she so determined to kill herself?
