Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 764

Theo hugged me, his body trembling slightly.

I cast my eyes down. "I watched every day as you treated Cindy nicer and nicer. That made me think that my existence was superfluous. If I told you that I was pregnant with your child, not only would you be angry but it would also cause you trouble."

After a pause, I continued, "Out of my own selfishness, I wanted to give birth to the child, but I was afraid that you would want me to abort it. Hence, I sought Mason's help and faked an abortion. After the operation, I planned to get a divorce with you and leave Salt City, but I didn’t expect us to be entangled until now."

Theo had raised the partition in the car a long time ago. He lifted my chin with his slender fingers and our eyes met. When I stared into his deep and abysmal eyes, they were filled with agony. I was stunned.

He spoke in a deep and hoarse voice, "I wanted to get a divorce with you because I was afraid that I would sink deeper and not want to let you go anymore. I was also afraid that you would love me more and more that it would be too painful for us to separate. I knew from the beginning that you did not belong to me.

I shook my head. "It has been so long. I stopped resenting you long ago."

I cast my eyes downward and continued, "I'm only bringing up the past now because I see my past self in Susan. That's why I'm lamenting."

His gaze lingered on me. "I wasn't mature enough back then and took things for granted.”

He had always felt guilty for what he did to me back then. I wrapped my arms around his neck and said," Theo, it's all in the past now and you have no reason t o blame yourself anymore. We're the same. We didn't know how to love each other in the beginning, and on the journey of learning how to love a person, we'll inevitably hurt each other. Now that we have learned how to love a person and how to cherish one another, it's all worth it in the end."

I also hoped that Tyler could soon see what he truly wanted.

I did not believe that he merely treated Susan as a dispensable tool for reproduction after she had been with him for ten years.
