Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 747

"Can we meet up and talk?¹' Nadia asked on the other end of the call.

I pursed my lips. "I don't think there's anything to talk about between us."

Nadia chuckled on the other end. "You don’t want your son to return to the Lynches, and neither do I. There's a lot for us to talk about based on this alone."

After a long silence, I said, "Address.” 1

When I arrived at the cafe we agreed to meet, I walked in and saw Nadia sitting by the window. I walked over.

Compared to the day before, she looked less haggard today. Perhaps it was because she had put on makeup.

When I sat down, she went straight to the point." Whether you believe it or not, Cecilia's death had nothing to do with me. I did go and see her that day, but I didn't say anything that would stimulate her."

I pursed my lips and did not respond. She continued," I know you won't believe me, so let's just talk about the kid. You've raised him for three years, so I’m sure you don’t want the Lynches to take him back. It just so happens that I don't want the Lynches to take him back too. Mason’s child must come out of my womb or all my efforts before this would be for naught."

"Just tell me what you plan to do," I said, a little impatient.

She pursed her lips. "In the kid’s eyes, you're his mother. With the friendship that Mason and Theo share, they won't turn against each other. I hope you'll make public the relationship between you and Theo a s husband and wife, as well as ask the hospital to issue a statement of your inability to conceive. Mason has never fulfilled his duty as a father, and with the passing of the child's biological mother, the law will let you adopt this child legally."

After a pause, she continued, "But by doing so, you'll not be allowed to have children in the future."

I frowned. "Is this what you came up with?"

"This is the best way to do it, no?" She shrugged in a lackadaisical manner. "Theo is not an ordinary man who has no money or power. If you do as I say, then there's nothing the Lynches can do about it."

I suddenly laughed. "Like you said, Theo isn't an ordinary man who has no money or power, so even if I don’t do so, the Lynches still can’t do anything as long as I refuse to hand Munchkin over to them."

"Indeed." Nadia narrowed her eyes slightly. "But aren't you worried that you and Theo's reputation will be jeopardized? And you can only raise that child in a completely unjustifiable way."

I pursed my lips and fell silent.
