Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 705

After a pause, I wanted to clear things up further so I continued, "Three years ago, we made it very clear that we’ll remain friends forever. Theo and me will forever have our lives entangled. You deserve to live i n happiness, but I'm not the one who can bring happiness to your life."

He fell silent for a moment, and there was no disappointment on his face. His hostile face was calm as ever. "I'm not asking you to love me, I just need to know what I want."

He leaned closer to me and lowered his voice. "I regretted it. I should not have left with nothing that night three years ago."

I froze and looked up at him with anger in my eyes." Were you the one who set me up?”

On New Year's Eve three years ago, I drove to the airport to pick Tyler up but was taken away by someone before I could reach my destination. Thankfully Salt City was the Grants' territory so this matter was suppressed. Otherwise, there was no telling what kind of consequences it could bring.

Later, as the person who took me away that night could not be identified, Quinn was said to be the one who did it. Hence, she spent a year in jail as a

punishment by Theo.

If he had not brought it up now, I might think for the rest of my life that she was the one who did it.

It was no wonder Quinn kept thinking of ways to separate Theo and 1.1 was pretty sure that she hated m e.

He smiled slightly and a little grimly. "My initial plan was just to separate you and Theo forever, but little did I know, you grew even closer instead. What surprised me even more was that your separation was caused by his own error.”

He cast his gaze on me. The man whom I had not met for so many years was no longer as close and affectionate now. What was left today when we met each other again was only unwillingness. "Since you're already separated, why didn't you just put an end to it?"

I sighed. There was no way to eliminate his obsession. I merely looked up at the somewhat scorching hot sun and squinted my eyes. "Matthew, I just want to live my life."

He was my savior, after all. I could not bring myself to say anything that was too harsh to hear.

He pursed his lips, not saying a word. After a very long time, he said, "I can give you the life you want but Theo can't."
