Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 81

After that, apart from working, I spent the majority of my time with Cecilia. She was passionate about cooking all day and fed me with her food like a lab rat. I did not even bother putting up a struggle and allowed her to do whatever she wanted.

I was still feeling quite down and had not been sleeping well. I often sat on the balcony the whole night.

Cecilia had brought me to get a prescription for my insomnia that was suitable for pregnant women. However, I often forgot about it and would only take the medication when she reminded me.

Theo had not shown up, and from what Heidi told me, he seemed to have gone abroad.

Several phases of the show's filming had been successfully completed. Everything went well, and the premiere broadcast was well-received. The ratings and comments about the show only grew. The final round would be carried out this afternoon.

The spokesperson would be announced and they would sign the contract on the spot. Xander was like a dark horse, cutting his way through the many female celebrities. If everything went smoothly, he had the highest chances of becoming the spokesperson.

I had also thought of a way to handle Newlight Media.

Xander came to my office very early in the morning.

"What are you doing here instead of preparing for the finals?” I chided him.

"I missed you, of course. I haven't seen you for days." Xander supported himself on the table and leaned forward with his stunningly handsome face.

"Quit playing. Now I know why the ladies are pestering you. If I were someone else, I might misunderstand it as you're trying to seduce me," I complained with a huff.

He sat back in his chair weakly and lowered his head, saying dejectedly, "I am trying to seduce you but I often fail at it. How boring."

How childish of him. I was already used to seeing him fooling around all these years. I shook my head and did not entertain him further.

"It's my final chance today, Wandy. If I become the spokesperson, then it would spell trouble for your dear husband." He put on a rare but solemn expression.

Though within half a second, he was in high spirits again. "That's not so bad, actually. When Grant Corporation is down, you can then ditch Theo and come with me. I’m good-looking and pretty rich. I’ll be your kid's dad."

He put on an excited look as he spoke, looking as though he was telling the truth.
