Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 523

I began replaying past scenes of Cecilia in my head and thought of the last time I saw her. I was with Matthew at the time. I saw Cecilia and Jerome arguing about something on the streets from my car.

Why did I not get out of the car at the time?

Why did I not get out of the car?

Had I stepped out of the car and walked up to Cecilia t o flash her a smile while telling her that I was okay and I would live on even though my child was gone, would Cecilia still be alive now? 1

Things were not what they used to be. Matthew, who was by my side at the time, was dead.

They all died because of me.

It was all my fault...

I blamed my selfishness and indifference for their deaths!

I kept knocking my forehead against the ground, and Heidi hurriedly pulled me up. "Don’t do this, Miss Wanda."

Her voice carried a trace of a sob. I had recommended Cecilia’s restaurant to her and after dining there a few times, she grew closer to Cecilia as well. She would often drop by Cecilia's restaurant to have a chat with her in her free time.

How could anyone not like such a bright and kind lady?

"Wanda."

Someone called out to me from behind.

I turned around, my vision blurred by my tears. I could vaguely make out two male figures but I could not see their faces. Even so, I knew they were Jerome and Xander.

When they approached, I emotionally grabbed Jerome’s arm. "Why did you hide it from me?"

Jerome's face was full of grief. "I couldn't bring myself to break it to you. This was what Cecilia wished for too. You had just lost your child at the time and weren't in a good state. We were all worried that you wouldn't be able to take it if we told you."

My tears fell like raindrops. She was really nice to me and would always put me first every time. She knew that I would not be able to live on if I learned about her death because no one would be able to stand the consecutive loss of the two most important people in their life.
