Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 833

I took the box back to the study again and started studying it.

Looking at the workmanship and structure, it looked like something from earlier years.

If the key was with Theo, where could he have put it?

I put down the box and started searching the study.

I could not find it after searching everywhere. I was a bit discouraged and sat down in the office chair.

I looked up and saw a contract sitting on the desk. I then reached out and took it.

This was a contract to acquire Zimmer Corporations. There was nothing unusual about it.

I was in no position to meddle in this matter, hence I could only let the two of them fight between themselves. It was quite annoying, to be honest.

I sighed and put the contract back in its place.

I got up and walked to the bookcase. I was about to find a good book to read.

While I was flipping through the books, something fell on the floor. I cast my eyes down to take a look. I froze completely.

It was a photo of a baby.

There was a bruise on his forehead. It was left there when he struggled to come out and meet me.

The newborn’s eyes were not opened yet. He shared the same facial features as Theo, so even though he had wrinkly skin, it was clear that he had delicate features.

Why did Theo have a photo of the baby?

I had once seen this photo. Now that I was seeing it again, the pain I felt was no less than half of what I felt back then.

I bent down to pick up the photo. I suppressed the pain in my heart and put it back in its place.

Theo would never have a photo of this unless Matthew was the one who gave it to him.

Matthew had used too many means that had angered Theo.

I shut the bookcase and turned around to leave the study.

When I got back to my room, I lay down on the bed and wrapped myself up tightly. I felt so uncomfortable that it felt like I was about to die.

If someone asked me why I must choose Theo, I would not know how to answer the question either.

All I knew was that I could not be with anyone else but him.

Even though we shared many painful memories, I still could not let go of him.

Without knowing, I fell asleep in a daze.

When I woke up, it was already dark outside.

When I heard someone knocking at the door, I said with a husky voice, "Come in.”

The door of the room opened up and Caroline walked i n, asking, "Do you want to have your dinner now, Ma'am?"

I did not have an appetite, so I shook my head subconsciously. However, after recalling that Theo wanted to have dinner together tonight, I said, "I'll eat after Mr. Grant comes back."

Caroline sighed. "Mr. Grant is already home. He's been sitting in the living room for a very long time,

smoking constantly. He looks like he's in a bad mood. Do you want to go downstairs and take a look?"

He was home?

I was slightly confused. "When did he come back?"

Caroline replied, "Around five o’clock or so."

He came home so early to fulfill his promise to me this morning. He did not come upstairs to wake me up because he was still holding a grudge.

I let out a smile that looked a little bitter.

"I'm not hungry, so I'm not eating," I said mildly.

If he was going to be in an even worse mood after seeing me then we might as well not meet.

After Caroline left, I lay back down on the bed and stared blankly at the ceiling.

Should I continue sleeping? It might not be that easy t o fall asleep now.
