Chapter 655

Theo's eyes lit up and he walked quickly into the corridor.

When he was upstairs and in front of my door, I looked at him. "Can you carry him for me while I look for the keys?”

Theo stretched out his right hand, which had been behind him the whole time. When I saw the bouquet i n his hand, I was stunned.

"A little gift for you," he said with a smile.

I pursed my lips and took the bouquet in his hand as h e took Munchkin from my arms.

After I took the keys from my backpack and unlocked the door, I walked into the house and placed the flowers on the shoe cabinet. When I saw how beautiful the flowers were, a smile appeared on my face.

He did not say goodbye to me when he left so I had a feeling that he would come back again. It was just that I did not expect he would come so soon.

The thing that scared people the most was dishonesty, and over the past three years, I had gradually learned t o be honest with myself. I admitted that at this moment, I was really happy.

I looked out of the window. It was getting late but the

moon was still bright.

"I'll carry him to his room to sleep," Theo said.

I nodded my head.

He carried Munchkin into his room and when he came out, his shirt was a little creased but he was still as handsome as ever.

"Do you mind if I stay the night?" he asked with a faint smile.

I lowered my eyes and did not answer him.

Theo was in no hurry either as he waited quietly.

I started walking to the bathroom to find new toiletries and as he stood behind me, I saw a smile on his face from the reflection in the mirror.

He took the toiletries from my hand and I turned to leave.

That was how he ended up staying with me. I made several subtle offers for him to leave as soon as he could, but he would just act as if he did not hear me. In addition to that, Munchkin really liked him. I did not know how to tell him to leave and I felt quite helpless.

Perhaps it was because he appeared so abruptly, but Fred started to come over less often.

He must have guessed something was up, but between adults, everyone knew what was going on and no one needed to say anything.

Theo took on the job of taking care of Munchkin. He got up in the morning, made breakfast, sent Munchkin to kindergarten, bought groceries on the way back from picking up Munchkin in the evening, came back, cooked dinner, cleaned the house, and did all the laundry. 2

If outsiders were to see what a perfect housewife President Grant was, they would be so shocked that their jaws would drop.

The three of us could not finish the fruits we grew in the yard and as autumn approached, I would always take some of the fruits to the shop to share with the staff.

Fiona was still working in the shop, but she was not a s full of herself as she used to be. When we met occasionally, she would just stay quiet with a solemn look on her face.

We already had a bad falling out and us not wanting to fake a smile when we saw each other was fine by me.

One day after work, Fiona approached me and said that she wanted to have dinner with me.

I rejected her offer. "I have to pick up the kids."

She was calm. "I'm no longer a threat to you with my father taken away."

After a pause, she continued, "Even though you caused all this and I do hate you for it, I have to move on with my life, so I'm putting up with you."

I frowned. "What are you trying to say?" She shrugged her shoulders. "I don't want to lose this job and the way you treat me determines the way people treat me. I'm not saying we need to be best friends, but I just want us to be fine with each other from now on."
