Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 924

Perhaps those who were happy had no way of understanding other people’s sorrows, hence I had no way of knowing how bad Matthew’s mood was at the moment.

I looked up at the sky and said faintly, "The fireworks are really beautiful tonight, Matthew. I hope this willb e the start of something better.’’

I wished from the bottom of my heart. If it were possible, I hoped that everyone could live a better life.

I hoped that Matthew would have a child and a family of his own. I hoped he could live a better life and leave the past behind.

The man on the other end did not say anything and remained silent. I figured he probably did not know what to say. I did not know how to proceed with the conversation either, so after saying goodbye, I hung up the phone.

I looked up at the magnificent fireworks in the sky as a grin gradually tugged on my lips. I hoped everything would go smoothly this year.

Theo came out of the bathroom and embraced me from behind. He asked in a deep and low voice, "Do you like fireworks that much?"

I nodded, smelling the faint fragrance of shower gel on his body. "This winter seems a little lengthy. When you're not that busy anymore, shall we go to Zenon for a period of time? I'm starting to miss that little yard I s o meticulously took care of."

He nodded and pulled me toward his chest. He rested his chin on my shoulder. His breath was warm. "Okay."

"Who were you talking on the phone with?" When he lowered his head and saw the phone in my hand, he asked casually.

I realized in hindsight that I seemed to have forgotten t o switch my phone off. I could not help but lower my head to look. I subconsciously wanted to switch off m y phone. I then said guiltily, "A friend."

The number was not saved, so he probably would not guess that it was Matthew, right?

Fortunately, Theo did not ask any more questions and merely embraced me as he said warmly, "You should g o and take a shower."

I nodded and casually tossed my phone aside before going into the bathroom.
