Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 682

"I'll fetch you back," he said slowly.

I shook my head. "It's fine. It’s still early. We can take a cab."

Nadia sat in the front passenger seat and poked out her head to look at me. "It’s hard to get a cab here, Miss Lane. Hurry up and get in."

I was disgusted with her and did not want to say another word to her, so I turned around and went in the opposite direction.

Fortunately, a cab was driving over here from a distance and I beckoned for it to stop.

When the cab drove past Mason’s car, I noticed the complicated look in his eyes.

Munchkin fell asleep shortly after he got in the car, not waking up even after we had returned to the apartment. I carried him to his bedroom and put him o n the bed before going out to prepare lunch.

I put on an apron and went to the living room to check my phone.

There were several missed calls from Theo and Jerome respectively.

It was noon now, so Jerome was surely at work.

Hence, I did not call him back. I looked at Theo's name, took a deep breath, and returned the call.

The call connected. His deep and attractive voice entered my ears. "What did you do this morning?"

"I brought Munchkin around."

I did not want to tell him that I had brought Munchkin to the cemetery, where we bumped into Mason and Nadia.

I did not want to mention the people and things from the past.

There were movements in the bedroom, and I figured that Munchkin had woken up. I went over to open the room door.

"Do you have any plans for this afternoon?" Theo asked with a smile.

"I'll take Munchkin out after dinner."

Munchkin ran down from the bed and said in a clear, crisp voice, "Mommy, I woke up because I was too hungry."
