Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 884

I looked at her but thought of Elena. I did not actually like this woman whose ambitions and desires were written all over her face, but I felt sorry for her somehow. I felt sorry for her after listening to Celine recounting her past. If those words had come out of her own mouth, I was sure that they would sound even more heartbreaking.

Grayson handed the menu to the waiter and looked at me with an extraordinarily serious expression when h e heard Petra’s words.

I hesitated for a few seconds or so and said, "Theo's on annual holiday now. We plan to go on a trip."

Although I did not make a direct refusal, my words had expressed my refusal.

Even though Petra was slightly disappointed, she knew that Theo was on annual leave and that I really could not go and stay with the Louises. Therefore, a smile quickly broke out on her face again.

As we spoke, her countenance turned darker and darker at the sight of someone.

I looked over and realized that it was Cindy.

Those we wanted to meet could be right in front of us yet we never seemed to notice them, but those we did

not want to meet were always popping up in front of u s. This was such a small world, indeed.

Grayson saw Cindy too and there were hints of displeasure on his face, though they were not as obvious as the changes on Petra’s. Her expression could even qualify as loathing.

They once shared a relationship as mother and daughter, after all, so I thought Petra and Grayson would at least have slight feelings left for Cindy. However, that did not seem like the case.

"Mr. and Mrs. Louis."

Cindy took the initiative to come over and greet them with a smile on her face. "What a coincidence. Do you like dining in this restaurant too?"

Petra snorted coldly and said without mercy, "My family and I are having lunch together, Ms. Cindy. Please don't interrupt us if it isn't for anything important."
