NovelAppChapter 644 He was a mature and steady man so he did not reveal a n overly surprised expression. He walked over and greeted as usual, "Hello, President Grant. Nice to meet you." Theo squinted his eyes, and I could feel a chill radiating from his body. I did not know why but I said, "He's the shop manager. Do you remember?" This sounded like an explanation, and Theo's expression eased a lot. He stood up and shook hands with Fred. His eyes flickered as his gaze fell on Munchkin and Tina.
I leaned over to look at them. "What do you guys want to eat tonight?" Munchkin seemed unhappy. He looked at Theo and said, "Mom, you can cook anything." Tina noticed the injury on my ankle and said, "Let Dad cook for us tonight." Theo would inevitably misunderstand upon hearing this.
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtI did not want to explain anything. I straightened up and looked at Fred, saying, "It seems that you're going to have to show off your cooking skills tonight." Although Fred was a little surprised by Theo's arrival, he had always been straightforward and did not seem to think too much about it. He looked at him and said," President Grant, just stay and have dinner with us tonight. We're using home-grown vegetables. You can try the dishes." Theo nodded, but his gaze becdarker and deeper.
I told the two little children after looking at them, "Go to the backyard to pick svegetables for me. Munchkin, please don't bully Tina, okay? And remember to help your younger sister carry the vegetables." Munchkin pouted. "Mommy, you're being biased. You always care more about Pumpkin." I was helpless. "She's a girl and you're a boy. You ought to take care of her. Don't you think so?" "I won't bully her." Munchkin carried two baskets and looked at Tina. "Mommy toldnot to bully you, so I'll help you carry the basket." Tina smiled. "It's okay, Brother Munchkin. I'm stronger than you and taller than you, so I can take care of you as well." "Don't call'Brother Munchkin'!" Munchkin instantly exploded. "Also, don't be proud that you're taller thannow. One day, I'll definitely be a lot taller than you." He gestured how much taller he would be than Tina in the future while talking to her. It looked very funny.
I could not help but smile. "Alright, enough. Stop arguing about this matter. Go on and pick svegetables, or else we'll have nothing to eat tonight." The two little children glanced atand argued as they walked to the backyard soon after.
I shook my head helplessly and could not help but smile. I used to worry that Munchkin would be lonely but after seeing him and Tine getting along now, they were more intimate than biological siblings.
Therefore, I felt relieved.
When I cto my senses, I sensed a blazing pair of eyes and looked at Theo.

I was stunned and subconsciously said, "President Grant, you may rest here first. I'll go to the kitchen to see if I can help." My wrist was held by him. He said in a low and restrained voice, "How have you been in the past few years?" I pursed my lips and looked calm. "I've been fine." After a pause, I said again, "These three years have been the most peaceful three years for me." A trace of pain flashed across his face. "Yeah, you look good now. Much better than before." I nodded.
I did not want to talk to him anymore so I said, "Please sit here for a while. I need to go to the kitchen and help."
"Can we be friends?" His helpless voice cfrom behind. "For three to years, I've used countless ways to e numb myself but this is how humans are. The more I want to forget, the more I remember and the harder it is to erase those memories."
I'll I sighed. I looked back at him and said, "President Grant, we have to learn to let go, lim really fine here. I' resent it and break down if I stay by your side."
"It may seem that I have a lot of relatives and friends in Salt City and Whaldorf City, but I've always m suffered there. I can't let go of the past, but here, I can have the life I want the most. I hope you can understand."
