Chapter 714

He let out a slightly sarcastic sneer. His dark eyes fell o n me. "Wanda, you're smarter than you were three years ago."

I pursed my lips, not taking his words as a compliment.

He paused and crossed his legs, one over the other in a languid posture. "I did hint at Quinn. The goal's simple-I don't want you and Theo to be together because I'll get jealous. As for Serena's incident, I have nothing to do with it because I'm a person who knows my limits."

I frowned, unsure if I should believe him.

"I know how important this kid is to you. If I hurt him, whether directly or indirectly, that’ll only cause you to hate me. I can tolerate your disgust toward me but not your hatred. If you hate me, then that would mean we’ll never stand a chance to be together and I’m not that stupid."

After a pause, he laughed and continued, "I really like Munchkin. I'll treat him as my own. If you want him to have a bright future, then I'll do that for you."

I frowned, not finding his words touching at all. I said indifferently, "You don't need to—"

"Ms. Liz!” The secretary's voice rang out outside the door, interrupting my speech.

Liz?

I froze a little, looking sideways at the office door.

Liz’s long and dazzling blonde hair and her blue eyes were the same as before. Nothing had changed.

However, she looked a little chubbier now. When I saw her slightly bulging belly, I finally understood that it was because she was pregnant.

She recognized me too and looked very surprised.

I got up and said with a smile, "It’s been a while, Liz."

She looked at me, a little incredulous. Her eyes were filled with tears. “You knew each other before this, right?"

The long reunion did not bring joy but awkwardness instead.

I took a deep breath and chose to remain silent.

She looked at Matthew, her voice a little hoarse. "Is she the person you call out in your sleep? The woman you’re desperately trying to protect?"

Matthew frowned, a look of displeasure on his face." Who gave you the permission to come in?”

I glanced at him and saw disgust in his eyes.

Tears flowed out of Liz's eyes. "Now that she's back, are you going to dump me and be with her?"

I pursed my lips. I heard movements in the lounge. Munchkin was probably woken up by the commotion.

I looked at Liz and slowly said, "If my presence has upset you, Liz, then I apologize. But I think you got the wrong idea here. I have a family of my own and a son. I’ll not snatch your fiance."

Having said that, I turned around and went into the lounge.

Munchkin was indeed awake and climbing down from the bed.

When he saw me, he started running toward me without even gaining his footing yet. "I'm sorry, Mommy. You clearly just told me to not fight with other children."

My heart felt sore. "Those children were too much.

Mommy will not blame you this time."

He still felt very sorry about it and buried his head in my chest. His voice was muffled as he said, "But I caused you trouble."

I pursed my lips and held him tight.

At this moment, I felt a little dazed. Was it the wrong choice to bring Munchkin back to Whaldorf City?

When we were still in Zenon, he was happy and there was always a smile on his face.
