Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 844

"No way." Theo became angry. "This punishment is too heavy and I don't accept it."

He hugged me and his lips came to my ear. His voice was low and husky, attractive and teasing. He sounded particularly sexy. "Change to another punishment."

I was unmoved by his seduction and shook my head mercilessly. "No."

Munchkin finished his snack and saw Theo hugging me. He wiped his mouth with a tissue paper and tossed it when he was done. He ran over clumsily. " Theo, why are you more clingy to Mommy than me?"

I felt awkward and quickly pushed Theo away. I coughed lightly. "When is your company having a holiday?"

Theo picked Munchkin up and put him on his lap. Seeing that he had not wiped his mouth clean, he drew out a tissue paper and wiped Munchkin’s mouth for him again. "Almost. After the annual meeting."

I nodded and did not ask any more questions.

After spending time together for such a long period of time, Munchkin and Theo's relationship had slowly deepened. Sometimes, Munchkin would be very clingy

to Theo. I could see that Munchkin was starting to rely on him.

Sometimes, only a man could give a child a sense of security.

Caroline walked over and said, "Sir, the soup is done."

Theo nodded and took my hand. "I asked Caroline to make soup because you didn’t eat much tonight. Can you at least drink some?"

I found it hard to reject such kindness, so I nodded to agree.

Munchkin loved eating, so even though he had eaten plenty for dinner, he wanted to drink the soup too after hearing that Caroline had made soup.

While walking toward the kitchen, Caroline said with a smile, "Mr. Grant, the snow in the backyard has melted. The soil there seems pretty fertile and I’m thinking about planting some winter vegetables so we can eat them in spring. Pure natural green vegetables are healthy and more hygienic.”

Theo nodded and said, "Do what you want as long as they're suitable."

The front yard was full of plants and flowers to look presentable. The plants were changed once every quarter of a year. My initial plan was to plant some fruits and vegetables when spring came, so it was excellent to hear that Caroline planned to start now.

I entered the kitchen, took a few sips of soup, and started daydreaming.

Theo knocked on my head. "Why are you still like a child daydreaming when you eat?"

Munchkin laughed. "Mommy is a big baby and I'm a little baby. Poor Theo has to take care of two babies."

My face was a little hot when I heard what the child said. I secretly glared at Theo, cursing him in my heart for doing this on purpose.

Theo blinked innocently and looked at Munchkin, saying, "Your mother will forever be a baby who needs Theo’s care."

Munchkin was laughing even more intensely, while m y face was even more flushed.

After drinking a big bowl of chicken soup, Munchkin glanced at me and looked at Theo while asking curiously, "Is Theo my father? Other children in the kindergarten tell me that parents stay together. Since you’re staying in the same bedroom as Mommy, that makes you my father, right?"

Children's worlds were simple. They would often say things that they thought were no big deal yet they were difficult for adults to respond to.

I looked at Theo and wanted to hear his response.

Theo then filled another bowl of chicken soup for Munchkin and said, "Do you want me to be your father, then?"

Munchkin nodded without a single hesitation. "I do."

Theo's body stiffened, and his gaze gradually brightened up.

"Are you my biological father, Theo?" Munchkin asked again.

Theo looked down and smiled, answering ambiguously, "I was already your father when you were still very young, Munchkin. But later on, I made your Mommy angry, so your Mommy left home with you."
