"| didn't expect my sudden invitation to be such a hit." Fred looked at the two kids as he walked besideand
said happily.
I nodded. "Well, it wasn't sudden. We just happened to run into each other." | diffused the awkwardness by not
addressing the elephant in the room like last time.
"When the speaker was talking on stage, Munchkin and Tina were very focused on listening. It seems like
Munchkin has good learning skills, so | guess you don't have much to worry about when he starts school."
| nodded. "He's always been a great learner. He got all of that knowledge from watching TV. | don't even know
when he watched so much."
I laughed at myself as | thought that | was a competent mother, but it turned out that even after spending so
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtmuch twith Munchkin, | still could not understand him fully.
"It's normal. Children are independent individuals from birth. They don't belong to us, so we can't fully keep
them under our thumb. We're helping them navigate through life right now just because they're still young and
don't know much yet. It's our only responsibility as parents, but there are many other things that we can't decide
for them."
| frowned slightly as | felt that Fred's words had a hidden meaning.
"As parents, it's only natural that we would want the best for our children. But have you ever thought about
choosing what's right for Munchkin?" "Fred," | warned him that it might not be appropriate for him to continue,
but he had no intention of stopping.
"You know better thanhow happy your lives were when Munchkin grew up in Zenon. You're also aware of all
the things that happened after you left Zenon."
He paused for a moment and continued," Tina toldthat Munchkin had experienced a lot of things this time.
He even got kidnapped twice by two different people."
Fred did not elaborate further.
Although | was taking a break and passing my tleisurely during this period, | did not forget about these
experiences.
Whenever someone mentioned them, those scenes would appear in my mind vividly
Especially at the thought of Munchkin being taken to an abandoned factory and Snowy's tragic death, all of
which | would not be able to forget for my entire life.
"Do you want to put Munchkin through more horrible things again? | just don't understand what's so bad about
Zenon."
"Fred!" | looked at him angrily, then | suppressed my rage and said to him in a serious tone.
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏm"I've never felt that there was
anything wrong with Zenon, nor do | feel that Whaldorf City is superior in any way. Where Munchkin goes to
school and where he lives is all for our family to decide."
| did not want to say such words, but it was the truth. Fred and | were not family. He was merely a good friend of
mine that | had known for a few years.
Fred let out a subtle sigh. "I'm sorry, |
shouldn't have said what | said. You're right. Your choices have nothing to do with me, but | can't help but remind
you that a child's childhood is fleeting. Don't leave too much regret or pain in it."
This taround, Fred left himself after he finished talking. | looked at his figure, then at Munchkin and Tina who
were having a good time. | fell into deep thought.
Deep down, | knew that | was more afraid than anyone else of Munchkin getting hurt again.

Staying in Zenon was not a bad choice, but | did not think that it was necessary.
