Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 64

Theo hugged me very tightly, so tight I could hardly breathe. I had never seen him like this-fragile and perhaps a little bit clingy.

He buried his head into the crook of my neck and murmured, “Let's just be happy from today onwards. Let's not fight anymore."

The warmth of his breath stroked my ears, as well as that low, velvety voice of his.

Theo pulled me in closer and said, "Don't move, let me hug you for a little while longer.” His voice was resounding and left no room for me to deny him what he wanted.

All I could do was sit in his arms and listen to his murmuring.

It was a rare atmosphere, one that held both harmony and tenderness.

I was not used to this. A dull fire rose from the bottom of my heart as I wiggled around and tried to get up.

He chuckled softly. He seemed to be in a pretty good mood.

I was speechless. My body was stiff, and I did not know what to do. To be honest, I had mixed feelings about how he was acting right now-a little conflicted,

a little awful.

This was the first time Theo and I had been relatively close since that incident with Cindy, and I realized that my body was rejecting him now. There was an odd sense of discomfort within me.

I did not react to those feelings as my mind was occupied. I was still thinking about how I could ask him for help. He was the only hope I had left for saving Cecilia.

All men were the same.

I jolted to my senses, my whole body suddenly tensing up.
