Pregnant With Ex's Babies novel Chapter 323

Chapter 323 A competition, getting serious???

William was up making breakfast when he turned around and saw Scarlett coming out of First’s room.

He checked the time. Scarlett usually wasn’t up this early.

Before he could say anything, Scarlett walked over. “Morning, Grandpa.”

“I’m always up early, but why are you up so soon?” William asked. Before Scarlett could reply, he leaned in, noticing her

eyes. “Why are your eyes so red? Did you not sleep at all?”

“Yeah,” Scarlett nodded.

“What were you doing up all night?”

“Just chatting with First!”

“All night long?”

“We just kept talking until now,” Scarlett said.

William thought for a moment, then asked, “Did First do something wrong?”

“No, we were just having a casual chat,” Scarlett smiled.

William gave her a look. “You’re used to staying up late, but First is still growing. He can’t keep doing that.”

“Got it,” Scarlett replied.

“Hungry?” William asked.

“Yeah,” Scarlett nodded.

“I’ll make you something to eat. After that, you should go back to your room and catch up on sleep.”

“Okay.”

“Just wait, it won’t take long.” With that, William tied on an apron and got busy in the kitchen.

Scarlett sat at the counter, watching him move skillfully around the kitchen. She noticed his back and the gray hairs at his

temples, and it suddenly hit her how old her grandpa had become.

The thought made her nose tingle with emotion.

Just then, a simple yet nutritious breakfast was placed in front of her.

Scarlett quickly composed herself.

“Eat up, and then get some rest,” William said, his eyes full of concern.

Looking at the fried eggs in front of her, Scarlett lowered her gaze and slowly took bite after bite.

William continued cooking, glancing back at her with a slight frown. “What’s wrong? Doesn’t taste good?”

“No,” Scarlett shook her head and looked up at him with a smile. “I just want to remember the taste of Grandpa’s cooking.”

“Why bother remembering this? If you want to eat it, Grandpa will make it for you anytime,” William said.

Scarlett nodded earnestly as she listened.

William glanced at her but didn’t think much of it and continued cooking.

By the time he was almost done, Scarlett had finished eating.

“Grandpa, I’m going back to my room to rest,” she said.

“Go on, go on,” William replied.

Scarlett gave him one last look before turning and heading to her room.

As soon as she closed the door, William, who was cooking in the kitchen, suddenly paused. He turned his head, looking

thoughtfully at Scarlett’s door.

In First’s room.

After Scarlett left, he was too excited to sleep. After pondering for a while, he finally turned on his computer.

As soon as he logged in, a message from Kun popped up.

Kun: Where the heck have you been? Finally decided to show up, huh?

First didn’t expect him to be so worked up, but his mind was still buzzing with excitement. He wasn’t angry and typed

back calmly:…Please watch your language!

Kun: Civilized, my foot! Do you know how worried I was? I almost flew over there!

First: If my sister sees this, I can’t promise what she’ll do.

Kun: …

First: Also, didn’t you ask Tara Green to find me? Didn’t she pass on the message?

Kun: She said your mom called you for a chat!

First: Yeah, so you knew!

Even though Kun found First’s constant use of “mommy” a bit “gross,” he was used to it by now. But yesterday? When did

he have a heart–to–heart?

Does he even know how rare this opportunity was?!

Kun: Do you even know what yesterday’s competition meant!!!???

First: It meant that even though I was just a bit behind Shadow Walker, I’m still pretty awesome, right?

Kun:…Have some shame, will you?

First: Then you tell me, what did it mean?

Kun took a deep breath: Yesterday, you were so close, just a tiny bit away from winning. If you had won, you’d be number

one, and Dark Web would be totally unbeatable.

First: That’s really a shame!

Kun: I can’t detect a hint of regret in your tone.

First: Don’t worry, Dark Web being number one in the world is just a matter of time.

Kun: I love it when you brag!

First: Trust me!

Kun: It’s such a shame. Even if you lost yesterday, you could have taken the chance to learn from Shadow Walker, maybe even become her apprentice. That would have been a guarantee!

First: Apprentice? Aren’t you worried that Shadow Walker might take down your hideout?

Kun: Our hideout!

First quickly corrected himself: Right, right, our hideout. Aren’t you worried she might take it down?

Kun: She won’t!

First: Why are you so sure?

Kun: Over the years, she hasn’t joined any organization and rarely appears. It shows she’s a person with principles and

boundaries. Plus, the Dark Web has no grudge against her. I’ve even helped her find information before. She wouldn’t do

that.

First: You talk like you really know her.

Kun: Seeing through the computer to understand people–that’s my skill.

First: Then take a look at me!

Kun: You seem pretty excited today?

First: Oh, impressive, you can tell?

Kun: You’re talking more nonsense than usual today!

First:…

First’s mind was indeed too excited to calm down, so he continued: But seriously, so many people want to recruit Shadow

Walker. Yet, many also know that Shadow Walker…

“Are you thinking of taking her out just because she won’t join?” Kun asked.

First’s eyes narrowed instantly.

Kun laughed, “Not a chance.”

First remained silent.

Kun continued, “Wanting to eliminate someone just shows a lack of understanding.”

First asked, “Why do you say that?”

Kun explained, “Shadow Walker won’t join any group, so it doesn’t really affect anyone. Those who want her gone are just

afraid she’ll join a rival organization. But if they’re paying for info on Shadow Walker, do you think she doesn’t know?”

First pondered, “Go on.”

Kun said, “Of course she knows. If she knows these people want her dead, would she ever join them? If she has to

choose, wouldn’t she prefer those who don’t want her dead? And wouldn’t Dark Web be one of those options? I’ll make

sure Dark Web stands out when she makes her choice.”

First hesitated, “Aren’t you overthinking this?”

Kun replied, “You don’t get it. It’s called opportunity cost!”

First chuckled, “Quite the strategy!”

Kun teased, “Don’t tell me you’re considering taking Shadow Walker out over a competition. That’s a bit much, isn’t it?”

First: No! Quite the opposite!

Kun: So???

First: I want to protect her, for a lifetime. If anyone dares to have such thoughts, I’ll make sure they regret it and wish they

were never born!

Kun: …

Kun couldn’t help but twitch his mouth in disbelief.

What kind of madness was this?

Was he getting carried away over a simple competition???
