Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 688

Quinn probably did not expect Theo to pour out his feelings to her. She opened her mouth but did not know what to say.

She knew I was listening upstairs. She looked up and let out a self-deprecating smile at me.

I turned around and went back to my room. I lay on the bed, unable to calm myself down for a very long time.

This whole time I thought that Theo did not love me at all, but this was not the case.

He loved me.

I was sure of it this time.

When Theo came in, I was staring at the ceiling daydreaming. My mind was a mess.

Perhaps it was because I did not know how to face him that I subconsciously closed my eyes.

He could tell from my breathing if I was actually asleep. He stood beside my bed and looked at me while smiling helplessly. "You can't sleep?"

I opened my eyes. "Maybe it's been too long since I've been back here. I'm not used to it yet."

The implication of those words was that I felt

unfamiliar with this place.

Theo smiled slightly and climbed into bed, stroking m y cheeks softly. "I'll keep you company, then. I'm sure you don't find me unfamiliar."

There was a glow in his eyes, and it was soul-stirring t o look at.

I did not want to say anything else and closed my eyes.

It was now September and the air-conditioner needed to be switched on at night. At midnight, I felt cold and after moving around, I found that Theo's body was the warmest, so I nestled in his arms.

"The air-conditioner is probably broken." Theo's voice was soft and melodious, a pleasure to listen to. "Why don't you sleep first? I'll ask someone to fix it."

I held him tightly. "Don’t go."

Theo froze.

"It’s cold."

"Okay, I won’t go." Theo patted my back with a smile." Sleep."

I slowly closed my eyes. No one other than Theo could offer such warmth.

No one knew what the future held, so we might as well just live in the present.

When I woke up the next morning, the sunlight danced through the window of the bedroom and formed mottled spots. After getting used to the bright light, I started searching for Theo.

He walked out of the bathroom, and when he saw that I was awake, he asked with a smile, "Did you sleep well?”

I nodded. "I slept pretty well.”

He walked over and kissed my cheeks. "I'm going out i n a while. Want to come along?"

"Where are you going?” I asked curiously.

"I’m going to check on the progress of the shooting." Theo picked me up from the bed. "And of course, I'm taking you out for a walk since it's such a nice day.”

I nodded, sort of agreeing.

We went downstairs to have breakfast. Theo then brought me to the largest recording studio in Salt City.

Magnificient was not only involved in the entertainment industry but also in the beauty industry. Logically speaking, there was a group of artists endorsing Magnificient’s products, so they had no reason to approach entertainment companies that were under Grant Corporation. However, they still did.

Theo was not worried about it and accepted it gladly.

Normally, Theo, as Grant Corporation's president, did not need to concern himself with partnerships of such level, let alone come here personally to oversee things.

I gave him a sideways glance. Sure enough, he was here to take me around.
