Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 558

"Theo..." I lowered my head and clasped my hands around it. "What I'm doing right now is nothing but torture for you. Can we just get a divorce?"

Between the two of us, I felt like I was the one with bigger problems. My emotions were unstable and I sometimes did not have the ability to deal with problems calmly, which led to meaningless arguments between us. It was a form of torture to Theo.

I did not want Theo to be the one to ask for a divorce i n the end because he could no longer tolerate being tortured by me. If that happened, I feared that there would not be the slightest bit of affection left between us.

"You're not torturing me." Theo sat on the bed and took me in his arms. "I know I'm not doing well in many things. You can point it out and I'll change."

After a pause, he continued, "If you want to do anything next time, just let me know. I'll not stop you from doing anything and put you on the spot. You can choose not to forget about Matthew, and you can also meddle in the Zimmer and Nietzsches’ affairs.

However, please don't put too much energy into those matters. Can we please lead a normal life from now on

with no more arguments?"

He was compromising. It was a complete, total compromise.

He was right; I was wrong. He wanted to solve the problems, yet I wanted to run away from my problems.

I was the one who was wrong...

Somehow, I fell asleep in Theo's arms and woke up only the next morning.

I was stunned when I woke up to a pair of smiling eyes.

I blushed and pushed the covers aside before getting out of bed to go to the bathroom.
