Chapter 1687



"Anyway, where's Daddy? Why didn't Daddy come down to pick me up?" Munchkin glanced behind me curiously, but there was no sign of Theo.

I looked at him and gave a snort of laughter. Then, I said, "Silly little boy, did you just remember your daddy?"

I pointed at the top floor of the building that was still lit and said, "Daddy has been in his office. He wants to finish his job earlier so that he can bring you back home sooner."

It was something I said to the kids, but I believed that Fred would understand that I wanted him to hear that too.

He should know why Theo did not want to come down.

Who would have known that Munchkin would give such a surprising reply? "Hmph, Daddy's the silly one. He's never stopped working."

Then, Munchkin walked toward the entrance and said, "Mommy, let's go. Let's get Daddy and go home together."

The little boy ran swiftly into the building after that.

The security guards around the office were arranged by Theo, so I was assured. That was why I was not in a hurry to catch up with Munchkin. "I'm leaving first. Thank you for sending Munchkin here." I turned around and said to Fred before telling him that I was about to leave.

However, the moment I took a step forward, Fred called my name, "Wanda."

I turned around and looked at him.

"Have you ever thought about Munchkin and your future?" Fred asked.

I was startled for a moment when he asked me such a question. That was out of the blue.

When Fred saw me stop walking, he took a few steps forward and continued to say," Have you forgotten how hard it was for you to raise Munchkin all by yourself in Zenon back then? Have you forgotten how he let you bear so much alone?"

Was this what he was talking about?

"Fred, I don't want to mention what happened in the past. Besides, you don't know everything that happened. Please stop doubting Theo. We're happy now. And I have to remind you that you care way too much as a friend!"

I refuted what he said to me. I had already told him a million times about this. I did not expect he would still mention this to me.

I did not give him another chance to

say anything turned around and

walked away. However, he continued to shout at me and said "He doesn't understand you at all; and he doesn't love you. Have you ever thought that you're the only one who's been willing to do this? You're happy, but what about Munchkin?"

I stopped when Fred mentioned Munchkin's name.

Fortunately, Munchkin had run swiftly. He was already in the lobby. He did not hear what that bastard said to me!

I turned around and flounced toward Fred.

'Fred, I'm giving you the last warning. My family matters are none of your concern. And I hope I won't be hearing anything like what you said just now for the second time! Theo loves me, and he loves Munchkin too. won't allow anyone to doubt him. If you insist on doing so, then I'm afraid that I'll have to restrict you from getting involved in Munchkin's and my life."

"Mommy, come on," said Munchkin.

I had no idea when Munchkin returned to the lobby's entrance. Perhaps he noticed that I was not behind him, so he called out for me beside the glass door.

"Coming." I turned around and wore a smile on my face. I refused to talk to that foolish man anymore.

"Uncle Fred, thank you for sending me back. Go home earlier and get some rest," said Munchkin.

Munchkin was saying goodbye to

Fred. I looked at Munchkin, who stood on his toes trying to make himself taller so that he could wave at Fred. That was when I knew Munchkin must know about it.

We headed upstairs and pushed the office door open. Then, we saw Theo return to his desk.

I noticed that he was standing beside the window just now. Could it be that he had been watching us downstairs the entire time?

I did not say a word. Munchkin ran so fast that he appeared in front of him in a flash.

"Daddy, stop working. It's time for us to go home," said Munchkin.

"Sure," Theo readily agreed with him.

Theo lifted his head and looked at me. I shifted my gaze to the window to drop him a hint. I wanted to ask him what he was doing just now.
