Theo nodded. "The servants will serve them soon."

"I'll go take a look, then."

Petra left the dining area after saying that.

However, she quickly came back.

"I called the caretakers this morning to ask what you two were having only to realize that you had given them the day off. With the two of you young people at home, I figured you'd simply put something together, that's why I'm here. But it looks like I don't need to worry anymore because Theo has cooked some really good stuff. I don’t think the food is enough for so many of us, though. I'll go and cook two more dishes. When the food is served later, feel free to eat first.

Don’t wait for me."

After she finished her sentence, she left the dining area again.

Theo and Carlson looked normal, while Tyler bowed his head responding to a text message on his phone. It looked as though nothing was out of place.

Jerome and Xander were the only ones who looked unnatural. Xander looked at me and said in an exceedingly low voice, "Aren't you and Petra rivals? Why do you look so much like mother and daughter

right now?”

I shrugged. "I'm much more interested to find out than you."

He let out a huff and twitched his mouth, saying," Something fishy must be going on!"

Grayson asked about the case, and Theo replied normally. I did not want to hear them talking about this matter as it would affect my already bad mood, hence I got up and went to the pantry to make tea.

I had just finished making tea and was about to go out when Heidi gave me a call. There were many people at home, so it was not a convenient time to talk on the phone. After picking up the call, I told her that I would call her back when I was free and hung up after that.

I got back to the dining area. Not long after the servants served the food, Petra came over and served several more dishes. She wanted to make two more when Carlson quickly invited her to take a seat and have her meal instead of cooking more. Petra knew it was inappropriate to make everyone wait, so she took her seat.

As soon as she sat down, Grayson looked at me and asked, "Do you know how to cook, Wanda?"

I was stunned for a moment before saying, "A little."

He let out a faint smile. "You can ask Petra to come over and cook for you next time. She recently signed u p for a culinary class and learned new skills. She's looking for a place to show off her culinary skills!"

"Yes, that's right. If you don't mind, I can come over every day to cook for you!” Petra said, sounding particularly cheerful.

I quickly said, "You're too polite, Petra and Grayson. Theo and I are juniors. How can we trouble our seniors like that? Besides, we have caretakers at home. They’re just on a holiday because it's New Year’s. They're usually around. Therefore, we won’t trouble you, Petra."

What was more, I was a little apprehensive about eating the food she cooked.

Petra smiled and did not insist after I refused.

Although we had beef with each other, we were still acquaintances, so on the surface, we still talked and chatted normally.

When we finally finished eating, Carlson received a call and needed to handle something urgently, so Tyler sent him to where he needed to be.

Munchkin was constantly groaning and moaning in hunger. I carried him upstairs to feed him.

As I had not gotten adequate rest for two days now, I was quite tired and felt a wave of exhaustion sweeping over me when I was breastfeeding Munchkin.

I thought I would fall asleep very quickly after lying on the bed but I was wrong. After lying down and closing my eyes, I did not feel drowsy anymore. When Theo came upstairs, I simply did not want to sleep anymore.

Seeing Munchkin and me lying on the bed, he walked over and bent down to kiss Munchkin. He then looked at me and asked, "Are you sleepy?”

I shook my head, my glabella hurting a little. "I was a little drowsy when I was feeding Munchkin just now, but I can’t sleep no matter what after lying down."

Munchkin behaved really well and did not cry even when Theo picked him up. His tiny hands waved delightfully in the air.

Theo glanced at Munchkin for a very long time before looking at me and saying, "Since Jerome and Xander are still here, why don't we let them keep an eye on Munchkin while we go to the hospital to get you checked?"

I shook my head and lay on the bed, looking at him and saying, "Theo, don't you find the way Petra and Grayson are treating me right now odd?"
