Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 487

Seeing the gentle and tender smile on his face, I felt a surge of warmth in my heart. He knew all along what I wanted to do but he did not ask because I never told him about it. He did not stop me either and had been silently helping me.

Up to this point, I must admit that Theo had changed a lot.

My feelings prompted me to hug him. "Thank you, Theo."

Theo laughed. "Don’t mention it, silly.”

I pursed my lips but did not say anything else.

"Miss Woods told me that Cindy gave you trouble," Theo said with a smile.

I laughed mockingly. "She thinks I'm framing her mother."

Theo said after a very long time, "I’ve already arranged for Zedd to take her to France. She probably won’t come back to the country in the future, so you don't have to worry about her."

I hummed a reply.

"Are you unhappy?” Theo lowered his voice. "You can let me know if you're unhappy."

What could be changed if I told him?

How could he leave Cindy to fend for herself for the rest of her life?

I pushed away his hand that was stroking my face." I'm not unhappy. I don't have a problem with you taking care of her out of responsibility.”

Grandmother did not raise him to be a man bent solely on profits and who considered whether something was cost-effective, worthwhile, or necessary. Instead, she taught him to be loyal, filial, and righteous. Therefore, I could understand why he was not able to ignore it every time Cindy was in trouble.

Theo woke up very early the next morning to go to the company. Quinn was bent on believing that I was the one who exposed the incident in the past. When I went downstairs, she kept following behind me to make all sorts of snarky remarks. My stomach was not hurting as much anymore, so I went to the company after eating breakfast. I feared that I might not be able to stop myself from berating Quinn if I continued to listen to her.
