The Woman From Hell
Chapter 1228

Chapter 1228

I was just about to say something when a young boy's tender voice suddenly sounded in my ears. "Are you talking to my mother, Theo?” I stopped breathing for a moment, and my eyes were instantly moist.

I had not heard Munchkin’s voice for a very long time. Suddenly hearing his voice now caused my emotions to spiral out of control. "Do you wish to speak to Mommy?"

"Yes! Hurry up and give me the phone, Theo!" Munchkin sounded like he was sobbing

I could no longer fight back my tears, and they started streaming down my cheeks.

I was not qualified to be a mother. Why did I leave Munchkin alone and leave so heartlessly back then?

This was too cruel for a four-year-old child.

I was extremely selfish for only thinking of myself at the time.

Theo gave Munchkin the phone, whe then immediately and cautiously asked, "Is this Mommy?"

My heart throbbed in pain, and there was a stifling feeling in my chest. I was not able to speak for a moment.

Not hearing a response from me, Munchkin panicked a little. "Can you hear me, Mommy?"

I wiped the tears from my face. "Mommy's here, Munchkin. I can hear you.”

My tears fell uncontrollably after saying that.

Munchkin sounded very happy on the phone and started speaking non-stop,” Have you had dinner, Mommy? When are you coming home? Theo and I have been waiting so long for you

"I'll let you in on a secret. I planted a lot of sweet potatoes in the yard. Grandma says that once the little sweet potatoes grow, you'll come home. They've all sprouted now. Does that mean you're coming home soon?"

No one told him that his mother had abandoned him. He only thought that I was out of town and could not come home for a while.

I could not-stop my tears from falling atall, solsaidina choking” tone, “Mommy will come home very soon. ct I go home immediately once I'm done with work here. Youwmust eatyour meals and go to school.

Listen to Theo, okay?" “Okay, Mommy. I'll remember."

I imagined how Munchkin would look nodding his little head non-stop and started laughing and crying at the same time.

‘I'm a very good boy, Mommy. I know how to recite a lot of nursery rhymes nowsend can speak French well. Thea signed me up for taekwondo classes, and I'm part iowlarly good at it. I'm also <> healthier now. I'll show you when you-come home. Also, I learned how tS-make a kite and madesne for you so we can play together. Can you come back sooner? It'll be my birthday soon.

Jerome promised to go to Zenon on my birthday to bring Pumpkin and her dad over. It'll be really lively then, so you have to come back sooner, Mommy.”

Every ‘come back sooner’ that Munchkin said showed just how much he missed me.

I held back the urge to burst out crying and said in a hoarse voice, "Okay. Mommy will rush home before your birthday and celebrate it with you." “Munchkin, can I talk to Mommy for a while?” Theo wanted his phone back

Munchkin was a little reluctant. “Just a while more."

He asked me. “Can you promise me something, Mommy?”

"Sure, what is it? I'll agree to it no matter what itis."

Munchkin chuckled mischievously. "I hope to speak to you on the phone every day before you come home. I want to listen to your voice. Grandma and Grandpa too.

Grandma cried last time. She misses you as much as I do." The child’s voice was tender, and the words he said sounded very innocent. They went straight to my heart.

I felt extremely guilty for not taking Munchkin with me last time. I thought I was incapable of giving him the best things in life and he would end up so. much better with Theo than with me.

I forgot that he was just a child. Theo was not a father to him. I was his only family. My departure would give him fear.

Maybe Theo knew that I was crying, so he took the phone from Munchkin's? handandsaidina = => gentle voice, ' ‘Don't worry, a lot of peopleare taking care of him. Kle's a very-good boy and doesn't need anyone to worry about hin? Content bélongs to FindNovel.Org ©

I sniffled and said in a choking voice," Thank you, Theo.”
