Scrambling to Be the Father of His Ex-Wife's Kid novel Chapter 68

I made a face and kept quiet.

"Are you worried it’ll be bitter?” After a short while, he grinned. He lifted his eyebrows up a little, his eyes shining like the sun and his smile extremely alluring. I t was a shame he did not smile often.

He got up, took a bottle of honey out of the fridge, scooped out a few spoonfuls, dissolved it in water, and passed the cup to me. He said, "It won't be bitter anymore after this! Let's eat that medicine now.

There's a good girl!” 1

I... Was he treating me like I was three?

Exasperated, I took the cup and gulped it down.

Once I was done with the medicine, he took the cup from my hands and washed it in the sink.

It was a surreal feeling watching him, with his tall and lanky frame, slave away in the kitchen. Tonight, he was giving me all his love, and it felt unreal, like a dream I had stolen for myself temporarily. 1

There were ripples in my heart even though it was obvious he was only doing all of this for the baby.

"What are you thinking about?” While I was lost in my thoughts, Theo finished washing the cup. He walked over to me and hugged my shoulders.

"Nothing much. It’s getting late, I wanna rest soon." I felt a tinge of guilt as I laid down quickly and pretended to be sleepy.

He climbed into my bed and wrapped his arms around me.

"Theo, you should sleep over there." There was a luxurious bed for carers right beside me. Why was he squeezing into my bed with me?

"Don’t move, let me hug you for a while." My words did not sway him. He simply closed his eyes, still keeping me in his arms.

I raised my gaze to see that over just a night’s time, his razor-sharp jawline had gotten covered in a layer of light stubble, making the usually fair-skinned Theo look a little more mature and sexy.

"You done watching me? Do you think I'm exceptionally handsome today?" He suddenly opened his eyes, humor glimmering in his gaze.

"The company can still run without me. Come on, let’s have breakfast." He served the breakfast he had prepared right in front of me.

"Can we go home after breakfast?" I asked hurriedly.

"Finish it all, and I'll let you know," he demanded.

I looked at the spread: buns, pastries, milk, and oatmeal. I forced myself to eat, so I could go home earlier.

I was lucky that Theo did not insist on me staying in the hospital. Right after breakfast, he had the paperwork done to have me discharged.

The only thing I was embarrassed about was that he insisted on carrying me all the way to the car once again, despite my huge protest.

Needless to say, it was an attention-grabbing scene. All kinds of looks, from envious to mocking to teasing, were shot our way. A few people recognized Theo and were even more shocked. It was all Theo’s fault. With that ridiculously handsome face of his, it was hard to avoid attention.
