Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 50

"Darling, let me tell you. Rosella City is really beautiful. We should have come here long ago."

"You went to Rosella already?" I asked, surprised that she'd gotten there so quickly.

"It's not like you don't know me. Since I've already decided on something, the sooner I get it done, the better. I regret visiting this late. I really should have come a few years earlier." It seemed like she liked it over there.

"Did you look for a suitable store?" I asked.

"Not yet. I plan to stay here for a few more days and look for them slowly. Let me tell you, the pace of life here is very slow. It seems like everyone is very relaxed. In addition to that, there are many schools, so the business of opening a shop will be good."

I sent her a message as we walked. The parking lot of the Grant Corporation was huge, and there weren't many cars in sight at this time. The whole place felt empty. Only the sound of my shoes clicking against the floor and the reverberations of my footsteps echoed around me. It sounded a little eerie and scary.

I was terrified and couldn't help but quicken my pace. "Then you can stay there for a few more days and find

the house while you're at it. I've been assigned a new mission recently, so I don't think I can leave anytime soon.”

"You've already decided to leave. Why do you still care so much? Just leave and it'll be over." Cecelia replied.

I knew that I had to leave, but there was a reason behind it. The divorce procedures were not completed yet. It was not as simple as a few words.

"Forget it, forget it. I don't want to nag you anymore. Anyway, I like it here. If it doesn't work out for you, I'll still come over and settle down first. You can come over later. Let's not talk about it for now. I'll go to the bar to have fun."

I found my car just in time. I put my phone down and looked down to grab my keys from my bag, preparing t o open the door.

Suddenly, I felt a pain at the back of my neck, and I passed out.

When I woke up again, I found my hands and feet tied t o a chair and a foreign object stuffed into my mouth.
