Chapter 629

Petra looked at him a little helplessly. "What are you doing? Where do you suppose she’s going? She and Theo are getting divorced. We're all she has left. I can take care of her if she's with us. Besides, she has a child with her. How can she live alone?”

Grayson sighed. "She has made her own plans. We have made too many mistakes. She has the right to choose how to live her life."

Petra was stunned. After a very long silence, she eventually nodded slightly. She looked at me with crimson eyes. "My child, don't treat yourself unkindly when you're out there alone. If you want to come back, feel free to come back any time."

I pursed my lips and did not take Grayson's Centurion Card. After a moment of silence, I said, "I appreciate your kindness. Although I don't have a lot of money, I've saved some over the years. I can afford to raise this child, so please take it back."

I got up after saying that. "It’s getting late. I should feed Munchkin now. Would you please excuse me?"

I took the child from Petra's arms and walked toward the infant room. When I saw Jerome standing at the door of the infant room, I helplessly smiled. "Do you have a habit of eavesdropping on others?"

He stroked his nose awkwardly. "I’m just worried about you."

I rolled my eyes. "Excuse me, I'm going to feed

Munchkin now."

Jerome nodded blankly.

I walked into the infant room and closed the door before feeding Munchkin.

After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.

I shouted, "What is it?"

"Wanda." It was Jerome’s voice. "Are you done feeding? I need to come in and tell you something."

I pursed my lips. "Hold on a second."

Munchkin had drunk enough and was sleepy after drinking. I put him in the cot and coaxed him to sleep. After he fell asleep, I walked out of the infant room.

Jerome was still waiting at the door for me. I lowered my voice, "Munchkin is asleep."

He nodded.

We went to the living room and sat on the sofa.

He looked at me, reached out, and said, "Give me your hand!"

I frowned. "Why?"

He did not say and was merely staring at me.

Speechless, I reached out and he placed a Centurion

Card on my hand. I was about to refuse when he stopped me. Jerome sighed softly. "Keep it. It'll make them feel at ease."

I pursed my lips and did not say a word for a very long time.

"No one wanted any of this to happen, Wanda. But we still have to press forward. We can't back out. All we can do is live the moment."

I nodded. I knew what he was trying to say and smiled faintly. "My life isn’t as bad as you think it is. I don’t have to worry about putting food on the table and I have an adorable child. Life will get better."

There was a complicated look in Jerome's eyes. "I’m glad you’re thinking of it in this way."

It was officially spring a few days later. Salt City was constantly drizzling in spring. After a few showers of rain, many plants started growing.

There were especially many daffodils in Salt City.

When Jerome and Xander had nothing to do, we would bring Munchkin around to feel the spring breeze, which improved our mood greatly.

After selling the house in Nothorn Residences, I planned to take Munchkin away from Salt City to Whaldorf City.

Jerome and Xander were worried. They insisted on sending me to the boarding gate. Jerome held

Munchkin in his arms, his face full of reluctance. "You can live a good life in Salt City too. Why must you go?"

I smiled faintly. "We agreed yesterday that you wouldn't complain when we parted."

After a pause, I asked with a smile, "Are you worried about Munchkin being with me?"

He twitched his mouth. "What's there to worry about? You're his mother."

I did not have a lot of belongings to begin with. With one bag and Munchkin in my arms, I found it troublesome to carry other things. The only things I brought were Munchkin's milk bottles and

diapers.

Xander had informed the flight attendant, so someone had already carried all my things on board.

Seeing that it was time for the boarding, Jerome hesitated before asking, "Are you really not going to tell Theo?"

I shook my head and smiled slightly.

He sighed. "He and the Louises are complete enemies now. The Louises are probably thinking of a way to get back at him. He won't have the time to come and see you off either."

I did not say much. I took my boarding ticket and waved at him. "Take care!"
