Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 603

The phone rang. It was a call from Theo.

I picked up the phone, my voice softened slightly. "I just woke up.”

"Mm!” His voice was hoarse but sounded particularly pleasant. "Eat something later. It's fine if you can't sleep. I happen to be free now and can stay on the phone to talk to you.”

I nodded. "Mm!”

Remember to eat your meals in time and don’t stay up late. If you're bored, get Jerome to bring Munchkin over to keep you company."

I pursed my lips. "Okay.”

Theo chuckled a few times. "Do you miss me?"

I lifted my hand to stroke my nose. "I guess you can say that.” "What do you mean by that?"

My cheeks were slightly red, so I quickly said, "If there's nothing else, then I'm hanging up.”

"Tyler and Carlson won't be in Salt City for a few days, so give Xander a call if you need anything and he’ll help you."

I nodded. "Okay."

Later, the other end of the phone fell silent. I was a reticent person to begin with, so when he did not say anything, I could not find any topic to talk about either.
