The Day I Stopped Waiting Was the Day He Started Begging novel Chapter 106

"Whose child is this?"

Sloane was entirely speechless.

After all these years, the ex-boyfriend she had dumped was suddenly standing right in front of her, interrogating her as if he had caught her committing a crime. How did she always manage to attract this much drama?

"Mine."

Sloane answered without missing a beat.

She thought to herself.

Time really changes a person.

The shy academic prodigy who had cried and begged her not to break up with him was now a wildly successful man standing right in front of her. Sloane couldn't help but feel a twinge of awkwardness.

The sweet, shy younger guy from back then had completely transformed.

"Are you married?"

Sloane's first instinct was to tell him it was none of his business, but human nature was a funny thing.

When facing an ex—especially one you completely crushed—a little guilt was inevitable.

She cleared her throat. "No, but that doesn't matter."

"Mr. Landers, can you let go of me first? You're scaring my daughter."

She figured it was a stroke of luck that she brought Evie along today. She got to play the role of a mother and brush Lucas off at the same time.

"So, after we broke up, you moved on to someone else that quickly?"

Lucas let out a self-deprecating laugh.

He released Sloane's wrist.

"We broke up, didn't we? Besides, I was just playing around with you back then."

Sloane didn't want to start a screaming match in front of Evie, so she carried her to the entrance of the fruit shop.

"Evie, be a good girl and wait for me inside."

Once Evie was safely in the store, Sloane turned back to face him.

"Lucas, it's been years. Why are you still holding a grudge over a breakup? You..."

The next second, Sloane was completely stunned. The man shoved her against the wall and forcefully kissed her!

In all these years, with her status as the formidable Sloane Sutton, practically no one had ever dared to cross her like this.
