Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 805

I lowered my eyes. It was considered a response to her.

The press and media were still talking, so Theo assigned a few bodyguards to follow me. Even so, none of them would get too close to me.

She was pretty discerning to be able to tell.

"I know you gave him money."

She said, her gaze falling on me. "I first met him by a bridge in France. He was bored and was standing by the bridge looking into the distance. He stood motionless for an hour. I was also bored, so I watched him stand there for an hour."

She was referring to Matthew.

I did not speak and listened to her in silence as she continued.

"The ladies there are different from here. If a lady thinks a man is handsome and interesting, she'll not care about remaining reserved. Moreover, he happened to not be resistant, so we ended up sleeping together. This may sound like a whole lot of bull, but just from this one encounter, I knew that I had fallen i n love with him. And that's why I started pestering him."

I looked up at her. "That's normal."

Liz chuckled. "He wanted to advance his career in France and I happened to have the resources, so he agreed to get engaged with me. When we met you, we happened to have just gotten engaged. On the night w e finished having dinner with you, he wouldn't let me get close to him anymore. Not even after that. If he hadn't gotten drunk that one time, I probably wouldn’t be carrying this baby either. I never knew the reason behind his drastic change, but now I do. After the both of you met, his desire to win your heart was rekindled again.”

My hands were subconsciously clasped together, and my lips were pursed tightly. I did not know how to respond to her words.

Liz laughed a little self-deprecatingly. "God is unfair to him. He was born into a privileged family just like your husband, but his love life isn't as smooth sailing a s Theo’s. He went through his parents' separation and took you as his emotional support yet still couldn't win your sympathy. You've been too unfair to him."

After hearing what she said, I finally understood why she was mad at me.
