Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 687

"Miss Zoel," Theo interrupted her coldly.

"It's seven o’clock at night, and these are my private hours, not working hours. You're an educated person yourself, so why did you visit my house without my consent?

"Besides, when you come to my house like this, those who know what's going on will know that you’re here for work, but those who don't will think that we share an ambiguous relationship. You're a public figure, so can you please pay more attention to that?"

He might not be the gentlest man out there, but he was definitely an elegant man. He did not use a very harsh tone to say those words. Instead, his tone was slow and bland.

Serena's complexion grew even paler after what he said.

Theo looked at Quinn and continued, "Although I have no idea how you got into my house today, I hope this will not happen again. My wife and I need some privacy. I hope no one will disturb us."

Those words were cold and detached enough that any woman who heard her crush say this would be tremendously heartbroken.

The last trace of ruddiness on Serena's face disappeared, and she looked extraordinarily haggard.

"Theo!" Quinn voiced her dissatisfaction. "Your words are too hurtful."

Having said that, she comforted Serena. "Serena, Theo has a bad temper and always speaks bluntly. Don't take it to heart. Stay here and talk to me a while more. I'll ask the driver to send you back later."

Serena squeezed out a smile. "I’m okay, Quinn. It's getting late. I should go back now."

After saying that, she walked out of the villa with her head hung low, too afraid to look at Theo.

Quinn chased after her, probably worried about her.

Seeing her protecting Serena like that, it was not hard to tell that they shared a good friendship.

Later, Theo sent me back to the room and leaned down to kiss my forehead. “Sleep if you're tired. If you want to take a shower, there are toiletries of the brands you used to use. They’re all new, so feel free to use them."

I nodded. "Okay."

He left the room after that.
