Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 938

After a pause, I continued, "I saw him standing in front of Mother's tombstone when I was in the cemetery. He probably knows Mother.”

Theo held me tight and said in a deep, low voice, "I’ve already sent someone to investigate it. This won't happen again.”

I was a person who had experienced wind and storms, hence I was able to stay calm and be less afraid when I encountered such things. I was only afraid at the time because Munchkin was there. Anything could happen to me but I would not allow Munchkin to get hurt.

"I didn't sense any malicious intent from the four men. I don't know what kind of person it was who wanted to see me either."

There was a coldness in Theo's eyes. “No matter who i t is, I'll make them pay."

He did not want to continue this topic and quickly said, “Quinn asked us to go to her place for lunch tomorrow. Do you want to go?"

I nodded. "Sure."

I woke up too early this morning and was already exhausted by now. I yawned uncontrollably. "I'm tired.”

He kissed my forehead and reached out to turn off the lamp. "Sleep."

I chuckled. "Goodnight."

"Goodnight.”

I fell into a deep sleep this time. Maybe I felt very safe because Theo was beside me.

The next morning, Theo woke me up.

He was wearing a bathrobe and his hair was slightly damp. Maybe it was because he had just taken a shower.

"Someone called you." He handed my phone to me.

I was not fully awake yet. I reached out to take the phone and tapped to answer it. I then placed it to my ear, closing my eyes. "How are you?"

"Not good!" Cassey’s irritated voice entered my ear." Are you back from Salt City yet?"

I hummed softly. "What's wrong?"

"Are you free today? Want to come out for a cup of coffee?"

I opened my eyes and said helplessly, "I have things to do today. Some other time."

Cassey tutted. "The day after tomorrow, then."

"Okay."

After hanging up the phone, I sat up from the bed.

I wanted to lift the covers but was afraid to see bloodstains on the sheet.

It had happened many times. That could only mean that something was wrong with my body.

"What are you thinking about?”

I came back to my senses and realized that Theo's face was really close to mine. I suddenly felt a little shy. I quickly said, "Nothing."

He saw my embarrassment and was kind enough not t o tease me any further. He then asked with a smile, " Are you hungry?"

I shook my head. "I don’t feel hungry."

Theo grabbed the clothes sitting by the pillow and placed them on my lap. "You have to eat even if you're not hungry."

I helplessly sighed. "Okay."

He was getting increasingly naggier like a mother now. I wondered if he noticed it at all.

I began changing my clothes. My right hand felt a little numb from the compression when I slept, hence

I had difficulty buttoning my shirt.

Theo looked at me like he was looking at a child. He held my hands with a face full of helplessness. "I'll help you.”
