Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 545

However, that was no longer necessary now...

I was happy to be able to achieve what I had achieved so far and did not let Matthew down.

Thinking about Matthew, my mood was not as good anymore. In order to stop thinking about him, I asked the secretary to bring in the documents that I needed t o go through. Only by keeping myself busy would I be able to stop myself from overthinking.

I worked all the way till noon and remembered what Miss Woods said. I then gave Carlson a call.

I proposed to have a meal with him, and we agreed to meet at a famous Italian restaurant.

There was traffic getting from the company to the restaurant. He had been waiting for a very long time when I arrived.

I took my seat and said apologetically, "I'm sorry, Dad. There was traffic on my way here."

Carlson burst out laughing. "Don't you think you're treating me like a stranger by talking to me like that? As a father, what's wrong with waiting a little longer for my daughter?"

I smiled. "Alright, alright. I won’t say that again."

After ordering the food, I finally said the things I had been thinking about on my way here. "Dad, if we follow the rules, then I should go home to celebrate New Year's this year, but a good friend of mine passed away some time ago and she left a child in Salt City. The child is still very young and can't stand cold winter days, so I plan to go back to Salt City to celebrate New Year's this year."

Carlson smiled. "The Schumans aren't bound by that many rules. You can celebrate New Year's wherever you want to. I won't be mad if you don’t celebrate at home. Besides, since she was your best friend, it's only right for you to go over and visit the young child she left behind."

I breathed a sigh of relief. "I’m glad you’re not mad about it. I was worried that you would be unhappy, so I hesitated for a very long time before telling you this."

"This is just a trivial matter. As for you and Theo..." Carlson paused for a moment before continuing, "Is there something wrong between the two of you?"

I subconsciously shook my head to deny it. "No, we're pretty good."

Carlson frowned. "My child, a married couple is bound together by love. You can't just think about getting a divorce when you argue or have a conflict. Marriage isn't a game."

After a pause, he continued, "You can’t say that you're not compatible just because you have different

personalities. There are no perfectly compatible couples in this world. The so-called compatibility is the result of a couple's hard work. Besides, Theo is a very outstanding man. It's hard to find outstanding men like him now. You should cherish him.”

I chose to listen to his words not because he was my family but also because his words made sense.

Compatibility and incompatibility. Just because two people were incompatible, was that to say that they were not suitable for each other?

I thought about this question some time ago but was never able to give myself an answer. Carlson had answered that for me now.

I picked up my cup and took a sip of water. "I'll listen t o you."

Carlson nodded. "I'm glad to hear that."

"How are the Louises doing, Dad?" I asked.

Carlson smiled. "I can tell that Grayson has no plans of touching you. It's strange. Judging from his violent temper, he should be trying to teach you a lesson by now."

I thought it was strange too.

Why?

Did Grayson and Petra have bigger schemes?

Everything was unknown at the moment. I should be o n my guard.
