Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 654

I smiled and picked him up as I stood up. "I can always meet the people I want to see in my dreams."

He did not understand what I was implying and after thinking about it for a long time, he looked at Fred and asked, "Uncle Fred, did you say a prayer?"

Fred rubbed his head. "I prayed that you and Tina will be able to grow up happily."

Of course, the greatest wish of a parent was for their child to grow up safely and happily.

The temperature change was drastic during summer. When we went up the hill, it was sunny, but the weather became cloudy on our way down with the wind blowing over with a cool breeze.

I was afraid that this would happen, so I brought two jackets for the kids when we left home. I took the two jackets out of my backpack and put them on the kids. I said, "Let's hurry up and start our descent. I didn't bring an umbrella. It’ll be bad if it rains."

Fred took off his jacket and handed it to me. "You should put on some layers so you don't catch a cold too."

I did not take it from him. "It's okay, I'm not cold. It’ll b e warmer when we get down to the car."

He furrowed his eyebrows and draped the jacket over my shoulders.

It was a kind gesture and I could not refuse it any further, so I just thanked him softly.

Munchkin grabbed Tina's hand and leaned over to her ear as he asked in a whisper, "Pumpkin, does your daddy like my mommy?"

Tina tilted her head to look at Fred and shook her head. "I don't know."

That was how little children spoke, always so straightforward.

Fred and I both heard it and felt a little awkward at that moment.

The setting sun shone on the clothes on my shoulders. It was normal between friends to be worried about each other and it was not always because it was a crush.
