Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 520

When we arrived at the restaurant, we randomly ordered a few dishes to eat.

I was in a bad mood, so naturally, my appetite was affected too. I took only a few bites before putting down my cutleries.

Heidi looked up at me. "They've returned to Salt City but lied to you and said they were still in the States because they didn't want you to worry.”

I helplessly sighed. "I know.”

Aside from not wanting me to worry, I could not think of other reasons why they would want to lie to me. Therefore, I was not mad when I learned that they were lying to me.

Heidi then took two more bites and put down her cutleries. “Since they chose to lie to you so you wouldn't be worried, I suggest that you shouldn’t confront them directly.”

After a pause, she continued, "I'll take you to a place tomorrow. After you find out why they're hiding things from you, you can then approach them and ask them about it.”

I had a strong urge to ask Jerome right away as I was unable to wait even for a moment. However, Heidi had made a point. If I did not know the reason why they chose to lie to me, they might not tell me the truth even if I confronted them.

"Have some more food." Heidi sighed.

"I'll take you to their neighborhood after you eat.

They'll go to the supermarket every day at this time to buy groceries, then walk around the neighborhood. They’ll go upstairs on the dot at 7:30 p.m. You can then decide if you want to get out of the car and meet them."

I nodded.

After eating, Heidi took me to a neighborhood. It was the neighborhood Cecilia previously lived in. I breathed a sigh of relief in my heart. "Turns out that Cecilia is in Salt City too."

Heidi pursed her lips and did not say a word.

"There they are." Heidi pointed out the car window.

I looked in the direction where she was pointing and sure enough, I saw Jerome and Xander.

"Want to go over?" Heidi asked.
