Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 519

I was just about to start the car engine when Zedd rushed out of the building.

He waved at me and I lowered the car window.

Zedd rushed over and said with a grin, "Wanda, Theo booked a table at The Imperial. Want to come along?"

The Imperial?

The Imperial Hotel served the rich and noble all year round. They introduced a couple's floor later on and it became the favorite dating spot among couples ever since.

I guessed that Theo probably wanted to fix things with me, but I simply could not attend.

When I saw Theo walk out of the building with his countenance still icy-cold, I sighed. "I’m sorry but I really have things to do right now."

After being rejected the second time, Zedd grew a little upset and no longer had the mood to be courteous with me.

"Wanda Lane, you don’t know how to appreciate other people's good intentions, do you? Theo has booked a table in The Imperial. I'm sure you know what that means, right? He has offered you an option but you refuse to take it. Do you even know how to get along a s a married couple?”

I pursed my lips and thought for a very long time before saying, "Mr. Zedd, I appreciate your kindness, but a lot of things out there aren't as simple as you think. Can you please convey my apologies? I really can't join you. Also, can you pass along this message t o him? There are too many issues between us and if these issues can't be solved, there's no way we can keep this marriage."

After a pause, I continued, "In order to solve these issues, we both need time to think about the solution. Hence, let's give each other time for a cool-off period.”

Having said that, I raised the window and started the car engine.

I was in a tremendously irritable mood on my way to the airport. I knew that Theo wanted to ease the tension between us but I did not want to. Perhaps I was really tired at this moment. I was afraid that we would be simply incompatible no matter how hard we tried. 1

If that was the case, why should I be wasting my time?

My head was a mess, and Theo was in a similar state. What we needed now was some time to calm down. It just so happened that my trip to Salt City this time could give the two of us just that. When I returned, we would then discuss whether our marriage was worth keeping or not.

When I arrived at the airport, I picked up my ticket and went to the terminal.
