Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 573

Grayson sighed lightly and said, "Cindy, there are plenty of people sitting in this room. Can you just be more sensible?"

Cindy gaped. She wanted to say something else, but Zedd pulled her away and said, "Uncle is right. There are so many people present here. You can say anything that you want in private after this meal."

She listened to Zedd’s words. She then followed Zedd and sat down on a chair.

I was seated not far away from her. Theo kept taking food for me. Every time he placed some food in my bowl, Cindy would cast a harsh and hostile glare at me.

It would truly be odd if I found this meal comfortable.

After tasting one of the dishes, Petra put down her cutleries and looked at me. "I heard that you like desserts, so I specially asked the chefs at home to prepare some and bring it over. I'll let you try the dessert later. You can tell me if you like it."

After a pause, she continued speaking, "I'll order a nourishing stew for you. You're too thin. You need to nourish your body more. Otherwise, you won't have the energy to look after your child."

I pursed my lips and said, "Thank you for your

kindness, Petra."

There was a stunned expression on my face right now. Petra's illogical actions made me feel utterly dazed.

After the waiters served the stew, Petra filled a bowl with stew and handed it to me. "Taste it."

Did she poison this stew?

I glanced at Theo. He smiled and said, "Try it."

Since he said so, I had no choice but to pick up the spoon and take a sip of the stew.

It tasted pretty good. However, I was not in a good mood. I stopped drinking the stew after taking two sips.
