Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 58

After that, Xander kept his hands by his sides sulkily and turned to casually look at Theo. "President Grant, you and Ms. Lane make a beautiful-looking pair.

People who don’t know better, like my mother, would think the two of you were married! She also said she'd like to have a meal sometime in the future with the 'M r. and Mrs. Grant'."

Even though I knew Xander had said that on purpose, i t did not stop resentment from building up in my heart. My hands trembled slightly.

I stole a glance at Theo and saw that the two deep pools of his eyes were emotionless. He replied faintly," Please help me send my regards to President White and tell her that I will visit her soon."

From Theo's side, Cindy enthusiastically chimed in." President White? Is she the designer you mentioned earlier who was famous worldwide? I thought she was expanding her empire overseas?"

"Ms. Lane knows of my mother too? Yes, she usually spends all her time overseas, but since Salt City is her hometown, she's been resting at home since she hasn’t felt so well recently."

I was shocked. Petra White was Xander’s mother?

Anyone in the fashion world or the entertainment world would be familiar with that name.

She was the most famous fashion designer to come out of Veektoria's Secret Shows, with more than ten personal fashion shows under her belt. Many international models prided themselves on the opportunity to walk in her shows. Some female artists had even paid her a handsome sum to design their clothes. 1

No one would have expected such a gleaming star to have originated from Salt City, nor would they have expected Xander Nietzsche to be her son.

In that case, why was he in the entertainment industry?

Petra White was the second wealthiest woman in the entire world! 1

The world of the wealthy was full of unsolvable riddles.

Cindy, who had initially been in a foul mood, was suddenly enthusiastically chatting with Xander.

I was slightly irritated by their conversation. I would have got up and left if not for Xander being in my way.

Lucky for me, the waiters then arrived with our food.

Theo of course took Cindy's food to pass to her. His display of gentlemanliness towards her was impossible to ignore.

"Wandy, their prawns are amazing! I'll peel them for you." Xander saw what I had seen, and just as quickly, he was taking my food for me and peeling my prawns too.

"You've already done enough, Wanda Lane. Come home with me now," His tone was demanding and standoffish. It was essentially an order. 1

I did not know what he meant by that, so as I brushed past him, I said softly, "I don't need you barging into m y business."

"Don’t you forget that you're still my lawfully wedded wife." He reached out and grabbed me tightly around the wrist, exerting so much force my wrist began to hurt.

I was slightly annoyed. I lifted my frosty gaze and remarked, "I thought I suggested that we let each other go. Have you considered my suggestion?"

Theo's eyes suddenly become sharp and ferocious." Wanda Lane, do you have to act like this?"

"Yes, I have to." I scoffed. "You've given all your love and attention to someone else since we got married, while you left me to beg for your mercy at home like a

sad puppy. I'm done with living life like this."

Theo’s expression was stormy. Then, a razor-sharp curve appeared by the edge of his lips. I knew he was angry, but I had spoken nothing but the truth, albeit it more bluntly than would have been expected.

"What's all this about?" he asked abruptly, his tone laced with exasperation.
