Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 722

The words 'it's urgent' were almost written all over his face. I could not contain my laughter.

It was rare to see a new expression on his face.

"Mr. Grant, Mr. Roffe used to be quite good-tempered but something must have gotten to him today because he kept yelling and asking to see you immediately," Keith said.

I already knew that Theo had things to do when I called him earlier. I looked at him and said with a smile, "I'll wait for you in the lounge."

He looked sideways at the cloudy sky. The dark clouds had dispersed and it was only drizzling now.

He clenched my hand. "I’ll ask the secretary to take you there."

After a pause, he continued, "I'll finish my work quickly and be with you."

I smiled. "There’s no rush."

The secretary took me to the lounge. It was no wonder she was Theo's secretary. She did not look at me with an inquiring gaze and simply served me like a normal guest.

I pulled out my phone and started watching short

video clips. After about five minutes, Keith came into the lounge with a bag. "The secretary's office is full of women so there are a lot of snacks around. You can eat them while you wait, Mrs. Grant."

It was not my illusion. He was indeed not as inflexible as he used to be.

I took the bag from him and opened it up to see a full range of snacks in it. If Munchkin were around, he would surely jump with joy.

I was not too keen on snacks, so I opened a bag of potato chips and stopped eating after I ate a few.

Theo came back and saw that I had only eaten a bag. I said with a smile, "You don’t like these snacks?"

I shook my head. "Mainly because I'm not hungry yet."

"What pastries are they that you had to personally bring them t me?" Theo sat down beside me and put his arm around my shoulders.

I opened the box of pastries, "There's a very popular pastry shop recently. You need to queue up and everything is always sold out before noon."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "They do look pretty appetizing."
