Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 746

At this moment, Matthew called. I put down the book i n my hand and pulled at my hair in annoyance before picking up the call after it rang for a very long time.

My tone was harsh. "What is it?"

If he had not gone to see me that day and had himself photographed by the reporters in the parking lot, I would not have had to stay home until now.

It was enough to say that I resented him.

Matthew said warmly, "Does your previous promise not count anymore?"

I froze for a moment and thought for a long time before I finally remembered what it was.

There were too many things bothering me lately, and I had long forgotten what I promised him.

Now that I remembered it, I merely felt even more annoyed.

The scandals surrounding the photo had not been completely subdued yet, and with the Lynches planning to take Munchkin back, I was simply in no mood to go to his house to have a meal with him. 1

Besides, if the reporters took photographs of me going to his place, it was hard to say how unsettling things

would escalate.

"When do you plan to keep your promise, then?" he asked, sounding a little annoyed.

"Please, Matthew, just let me go."

I kept feeling as if I had been forced into a dead end with no way out.

There was momentary silence on the other end of the call, then a cold voice rang out. "Let you go?

"I didn't force you to agree to this."

How was it that he did not force me to agree to this?
