Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 988

What should I do if he did something to hurt me?

I did not know the answer to this question, so after taking a bath worriedly, I opened the bathroom door and got ready to go outside.

The woman was standing outside the door, looking quite anxious. "Can you please hurry up and get changed, then go downstairs?"

I smiled faintly. "Your country has pretty strange etiquette about showering and getting changed before meeting someone."

The woman had no plans of chatting with me and merely made a gesture to ask me to go first.

This was my first time leaving the room since entering this villa. The opulent revolving staircase was decorated with baked porcelain crystals, making the place look extraordinarily extravagant.

I walked step by step down the stairs and saw the man sitting in the living room.

He drank tea while reading a magazine. His relaxed posture did not ease the coldness on him even a little bit.

Two black-clad men stood beside him, looking as though they were afraid to even breathe too loudly.

"Ms. Lane is here, Sir," the woman muttered while walking up to the man.

Milan seemed deaf to her words as his gaze remained fixed on the magazine.

After a long time, he looked at the man who spoke to m e earlier with dark and stern eyes. "Franky, what’s the status of that batch of stones?"

Franky immediately replied, "They should be here anytime now."

Milan did not ask more questions. His gaze fell on the woman and mildly asked, "How much time did it take?"

The woman suddenly shivered. "40... minutes."

Milan nodded. "I happen to lack workers to take care o f this batch of stones. You'll go, then."

The woman's expression changed. Her legs went limp as she knelt to the ground, crying and begging, "That won't happen again, Sir. I promise."
