Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 674

I was just about to walk over when I heard him say in a cold voice, "I'd like to see if Zimmer Corporations can really afford to waste time with Grant Corporation."

His voice was not loud but his imposing demeanor was evident. It was not hard to hear the harshness in his words.

If I had not seen it this time, I would have forgotten that he was Theo Grant, the business prodigy who conquered the business world.

In the last three years, I would sometimes hear others talking about Theo or read news about him on the internet. Many of them commented that he was cold and cruel. His means of doing things were ruthless.

However, the man who was described as such was not like that in front of me.

The man caught sight of me out of the corners of his eyes and immediately, his gaze softened. He made a stop gesture at the computer screen before turning around to look at me, saying with a smile, "You're awake.”

I nodded, my gaze falling on his laptop. "You can finish your work."

I was afraid that he would say inappropriate things in front of everyone while on video conference.

"This is nothing urgent." He shut his laptop before getting up and walking toward me. He opened his arms and took me in. "Have you not been resting well these two days? Do you want to sleep more?"

I shook my head and lifted my hand to stroke his abdomen. "Is it still hurting?"

There was a faint chuckle in my ear. "With you beside me, I feel like I'm full of strength. I don't feel any pain."

He buried his face in the crook of my neck, his breath blazing hot. "Wanda, for the past three years, I've been thinking about how I should love you and treat you kindly if we ever had the chance to be together again."

After a pause, he continued, "I kept stopping myself from finding you and thought that if we should meet one day, then that's all part of God's plan. If that happens, I'll win your heart back no matter what and never let go of you."

I grabbed his shirt. "You're too cunning."

He knew what I meant by that and chuckled. "I'm not sure if you still hate me after three years, so even though I'm dying to take you into my arms, I dare not d o so because I'm afraid that you'll run away again.
