The Woman From Hell

Chapter 727

Was it really necessary to keep this a mystery?

Cassey was here to discuss business matters with Theo. After the driver brought Munchkin over, I planned to take him home.

After leaving Grant Corporation’s building, we bumped into Mason getting out of the car.

I did not want to see him at all and planned to take Munchkin away before he saw me. Though unfortunately, he still saw me in the end. "Wanda!"

I helplessly turned around.

He trotted over to me and looked at Munchkin for a few seconds before looking at me. He asked, "Are you fetching him home? I can drive you."

"No thanks, I drove here."

I had no good feelings left for him after Cecilia's death. It would be great if we could just remain acquaintances who nodded at each other for the rest o f our lives.

He pursed his lips. "Let’s have a meal together, then."

Seeing him looking at Munchkin, I knew what he meant by that.

Honestly, I was reluctant to, but there was no denying

that he was Munchkin's father. If all he wanted was a meal, then I should not refuse.

After a long silence, I said, "Just this once."

He seemed surprised that I agreed and let out a smile.

After getting into Mason’s car, Munchkin poked his arm with his fingertip. I saw Mason's body stiffen up clearly.

"What is it?" He turned around to look at Munchkin, his voice trembling a little.

Munchkin pointed at the toy car hanging on the rearview mirror. "Mister, can I please play with that toy?"

"Munchkin!" My expression sank.

Mason took the toy down and handed it to Munchkin. " It's yours now."

Munchkin looked up at me and reached out to take it after I nodded to agree. He then started fiddling with i t happily.

The road in the city center was very congested at this time in the day, so the cars slowed to a crawl on the road.

I did not want to talk to him, but he seemed to have a lot to say. "I didn't know about it back then. If I knew, I wouldn't have let her go."

I frowned. "It's all in the past now."

Regret was the most worthless thing in this world.

Why do it in the first place if one knew that one would only end up regretting it instead?

He sighed. "What does Munchkin like to eat?"

"Anything. I'm not a picky eater," Munchkin said with a smile.

He was indeed not as picky as other children. In short, he was easy to raise.

Seeing that I had no intention of talking to him, Mason knowingly held his tongue after that.

After the novelty period, Munchkin stopped playing with the toy car and raised his head to ask me," Mommy, will Theo come home late today?”

"He promised to come home earlier."

"That's great." Munchkin chuckled. "I haven't seen him for a day and I miss him."

As time passed, Munchkin and Theo were growing closer and closer to each other. Munchkin relied on him more than he relied on me now. Maybe that was because Theo was better at making him feel safe.

"I remember now, Mister." Munchkin looked at Mason i n surprise. "I've seen you before."

I was a little surprised by Munchkin's good memory. H e could actually remember.

Mason nodded and looked at him with extraordinarily deep eyes. "We’ve indeed met before. I’m so glad you still remember me."

"I have a really good memory." Munchkin sounded quite proud about it.

After a pause, he asked, "Is the lady who was with you that day going to eat with us too?"
