The Woman From Hell -
Chapter 1593
Chapter 1593
I thought Munchkin was joking and did not take him seriously. Instead, I went along with him and said jokingly, "Have Grandma and Grandpa agreed to let you stay here? After all, this is their home."
Munchkin was just a child and could not tell that I was joking. Instead, he turned to Petra and asked her solemnly, "Grandma, can I stay here?"
Petra and Grayson had gone through so much during their earlier years and went through hardships to finally get together. Then, they managed to find me. Their grandson, Munchkin, was another surprise they were not expecting. They were as happy as could be.
If it were not for everything that had happened after that, they would never have been able to let Munchkin leave.
Now, Munchkin was saying he wanted to come back. That was a cause of celebration for Petra, and there was no way she would turn him down. "Of course. If you stay here, I'll make you your favorite milkshakes every day." Petra made an enticing offer.
When Munchkin heard that, he immediately replied enthusiastically," Thank you, Grandma."
The look in his eyes was not only gleeful but also mocking when he then turned to look at me. "Did you hear that, Mommy? Grandma immediately said I could stay here."
I lowered my eyes and gave him a slightly disdainful look. "Fine, fine. You can stay here, then. I'll go home with your dad.'
I pretended to be angry while I spoke. He had such a gleeful look on his face, and it was getting increasingly difficult to win an argument against him. However, I also knew that Munchkin was relatively smarter and well-behaved than other kids his age, which made it understandable why he was so popular.
Moreover, Petra and Grayson loved and treated him like he was truly their biological grandson. It was only normal that they would tend to spoil him. Naturally, I did not take all this to heart.
It was getting late and thus almost time for us to leave. Before leaving, I went into the kitchen to check if there was anything that needed replenishing and also if there were any 'prohibited goods'.
Grayson's blood sugar had been on the higher end when he went for a check-up. Despite Petra's reminders, he would still hide biscuits and other treats in areas of the kitchen that were higher up.
Petra did not usually check the kitchen cabs because of her height, which meant she never discovered these things.
However, the servant would always uncover a bunch of sweet food whenever they cleaned out the cabs.
It was something that Petra and
Grayson always got into an
argument over. When things go
serious, they would even refuse to speak to each other for several days.
Since then, Theo and I would always check the kitchen whenever we visited.
The first reason was to see if any groceries needed replenishing before we got someone to deliver them to the house.
The second reason was to check if
Grayson had hidden any snacks. To ensure his health and reduce the number of times the couple fought, we would confiscate his snacks and remind him that his health was of the utmost importance.
I walked into the kitchen and gazed at the tall shelves before pulling a chair over.
Then, Petra walked in just as I was about to take my shoes off and climb onto the chair.
"Wanda, what are you doing?"
She called out to me gently, and I immediately halted.
"I was just taking a look at the stuff in the cabs, Mom. I'm worried that the servant may have missed out on things past their expiration date."
I did not tell her my true intentions.
"Stop looking. There's no way he
would have hidden them here. You and Theo have confiscated your dad's snacks so often that he knows not to hide them in the kitchen anymore. He's switched up his locations."
Petra had a worried look on her face as she spoke and moved the chair back to where it came from.
"You're pregnant now, so you can't just clamber around as you please," she reminded me.
"Alright, Mom."
