Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 68

I made a face and kept quiet.

"Are you worried it’ll be bitter?” After a short while, he grinned. He lifted his eyebrows up a little, his eyes shining like the sun and his smile extremely alluring. I t was a shame he did not smile often.

He got up, took a bottle of honey out of the fridge, scooped out a few spoonfuls, dissolved it in water, and passed the cup to me. He said, "It won't be bitter anymore after this! Let's eat that medicine now.

There's a good girl!” 1

I... Was he treating me like I was three?

Exasperated, I took the cup and gulped it down.

Once I was done with the medicine, he took the cup from my hands and washed it in the sink.

It was a surreal feeling watching him, with his tall and lanky frame, slave away in the kitchen. Tonight, he was giving me all his love, and it felt unreal, like a dream I had stolen for myself temporarily. 1

There were ripples in my heart even though it was obvious he was only doing all of this for the baby.

"What are you thinking about?” While I was lost in my thoughts, Theo finished washing the cup. He walked over to me and hugged my shoulders.

"Nothing much. It’s getting late, I wanna rest soon." I felt a tinge of guilt as I laid down quickly and pretended to be sleepy.

He climbed into my bed and wrapped his arms around me.

"Theo, you should sleep over there." There was a luxurious bed for carers right beside me. Why was he squeezing into my bed with me?

"Don’t move, let me hug you for a while." My words did not sway him. He simply closed his eyes, still keeping me in his arms.

I raised my gaze to see that over just a night’s time, his razor-sharp jawline had gotten covered in a layer of light stubble, making the usually fair-skinned Theo look a little more mature and sexy.

"You done watching me? Do you think I'm exceptionally handsome today?" He suddenly opened his eyes, humor glimmering in his gaze.
