Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 663

I was not interested in other people’s gossip, so naturally, I did not like people gossiping about me either. What was more, Fiona deliberately brought up that topic just to embarrass me.

Most people living in the county were not ill-intentioned, but it was precisely because they were living in a county and had seen far too little of the world that they loved gossiping. They would talk about many irrelevant things.

Not picking a fight was the best way to respond.

It had been a long day at work, so everyone was famished by this point. When they saw the waiter serving the food, they placed their focus on the food. Hence, the meal was considered a harmonious one.

At nine at night, the meal was over.

I promised to go to the bar after dinner earlier, so I could not go back on my promise and not go.

Therefore, we went to a bar downtown. This was more like a sober bar than the typical bars.

Most people in counties got off work early with nothing left to do after that, so they liked coming to entertainment venues like this. There were a lot of people at this hour. We went to the second floor and

found a table. We had a better view and could see the stage below.

English songs were playing on the big screen on the stage. Three men who looked about 30 years old were mixing audio.

After ordering beer and some snacks, everyone sat down together to have idle conversation. It was not very noisy but the place was bustling.

The rousing music and the feverish dancers under the stage hyped up the atmosphere considerably.

Fred sat beside me and leaned closer, asking, "Is Munchkin Theo's son?"

I was stunned, looking at him with complicated eyes.

He cast his eyes down and chuckled. "I'm just asking out of curiosity."

Seeing that I did not reply, he did not ask further questions. After all, we were all adults. It was fine to ask but meaningless to pursue.

It was boring to merely sit down and drink beer, so everyone started playing games where the loser would drink. Fred needed to drive later so he did not join.
