The Woman From Hell
Chapter 867

Chapter 867

When Munchkin heard what he said, his eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"

Mason nodded and said with a smile, "Really."

After the affirmation, Munchkin started bouncing around in joy and ran up to Mason. He showered Mason with praises.

I lamented a little about how insignificant hundreds o f thousands of dollars were in the eyes of the rich.

"Mason..." I could not help but say, "He’s a boy. You can't spoil him like that."

Mason frowned. "We’re not poor, and since we're well-t o-do, we should give our children the best. Besides, I'm earning so much money. If I don't spend it on the child, what's the point of earning so much money?"

It was precisely this way of thinking that would spoil a child!

I was about to retort when Theo pulled me to one side. "That's fine. Mason won't be around Munchkin all the time. Don't argue with him anymore. It's not appropriate for the child to listen either."

I glared at him. "I think you just agree with his point."

Theo raised his hand and blinked at me. "I swear I do

not."

I did not want to talk to him anymore and turned around to go to the dining room.

Mason planned to leave with Munchkin after eating breakfast.

I handed Munchkin’s luggage to Mason. He reached out and took it, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."

I nodded, never doubting his kindness toward Munchkin.

That was his son, after all. He would surely cherish him dearly.

After sending Munchkin away, I sighed lightly. "That brat didn't seem reluctant at all. How saddening."

Theo wrapped his arms around my shoulder and comforted me, saying, "He's only so excited because he’s going to meet his friend. In just a couple of days, he'll miss you so much that he'll be crying."

I pursed my lips. "Then I hope he doesn't miss me."

If Munchkin gave me a call while crying, I figured I would have a hard time falling asleep.

Seeing how downcast I was, Theo kissed my cheek and sighed. "The company will soon be on annual leave. I'll take you out on a trip when the time comes, okay?"

Of course, I was over the moon to be able to go on a trip. I nodded with a smile. "Hurry up and finish your work, then."

Theo looked dotingly at me. "Okay."

There were still a lot of things to handle in the company, so he left after staying with me for a while.

I planned to stay at home and read at first, but Cassey gave me a call.

She had just come back from her honeymoon trip and wanted to host a gathering.

She sounded like she was in a pretty good mood from the phone, hence I was in a good mood as well. I asked her with a smile, "Who will be there?"

"Who else? I plan to invite Susan. It’ll just be the three of us ladies." Cassey clicked her tongue. "I notice that my circle of friends has become smaller ever since I started dating."

I chuckled. "It's quality rather than quantity that counts."

"You’re right."

We agreed to meet in an entertainment hub. There were a few popular dessert shops nearby, and Cassey was mainly here for the desserts.

I planned to drive there at first, but as soon as I walked out the door, Theo's driver walked over and said, "Where are you going, Mrs. Grant? Let me drive you."

Theo left the driver at home because he was worried that I would have to drive when I went out. I did not refuse and asked the driver to drive me.
