Though this was only on the surface, | found that this was more unbearable than the arguments we used to
have.
Theo pursed his lips. "Wanda, we-"
His phone rang before he could finish his sentence. H e looked a little unhappy but still answered the phone.
"What's wrong?”
Something was being said on the other end of the phone, and Theo abruptly stood up from the sofa. He said
coldly, "Don’t panic yet. I'll be there immediately."
After hanging up the phone, he looked apologetically a tand said, "I'm sorry, Wanda. The company-"
"You should hurry up and go." | cut him off before he could finish his sentence. "Drive safe."
After a pause, | continued, "You have to stay calm no matter what happens."

Theo was stunned, then he planted a kiss on my cheek with a smile. "I'll keep that in mind."
After he left, | sat on the sofa in a daze for a very long time. | then summoned Munchkin, who was sitting on the
carpet in the center of the living room fiddling with his toys.
"Do you miss me, Mommy?” He ran over to put his arms around my neck and asked with a smile.
| kissed his forehead and said, "Mommy misses you all the time."
Munchkin chuckled mischievously and sat on my lap, asking, "Did you and Theo go to see the baby today?"
| was stunned. "Who told you that?"
"Uncle Tyler cto seeat the kindergarten today. He told me."
Tyler was truly well-informed. | cast my eyes down at Munchkin and hesitated for a moment before asking,"
Munchkin, Mommy will be going away for a few days. Do you want to stay with Theo or go to Grandma's place?"
He tilted his head to look at me, asking curiously," Aren't you takingwith you, Mommy?"
"Mommy wants to bring you along but you have classes. Don’t worry, I'll be back very soon. You'll stay i n
Whaldorf City. Uncle Tyler and Theo will take good care of you."
He frowned. "But | want to go out and play with you, Mommy."
"Munchkin!"
My tone was a little heavier. "You can go out withonly when you have school holidays. I've already applied
for extra days off for you during the April holiday, so you can't be so greedy. Kids and adults are all the same.
Everyone has their own affairs, just like how Theo needs to go to work every day and you need to go to school
every day too. Do you understand?"
Oftentimes, Munchkin would stop being so stubborn when he sawmad. This twas no exception either. He
said in an aggrieved tone, "I understand, Mommy.”
| opened my mouth to say something but in the end, | merely said, "That's Mommy's good boy."
It was midnight when Theo returned. | opened my eyes in a daze and saw him lying on the bed. As | was too
tired, | did not ask him how the issue was handled and thought maybe I should ask when | woke up in the
morning.

Though when | woke up the next morning, Theo had already left the house.
Caroline knocked on the door and asked from outside, "Are you awake, Ma'am?"
| got out of bed to open the room door. Looking at Caroline standing outside the door, | asked, "Is breakfast
ready?"
She nodded with a smile. "Before leaving the house, M r. Grant toldto cupstairs to collect the clothes
that need to be washed.”
"Cin and get them, then."
She was usually the one who washed all the clothes, s o | did not think too much about it and tied my hair before
going into the bathroom.
She was sorting out the clothes that Theo had changed out of yesterday when | accidentally saw a lipstick mark
on one of the white shirts.
Caroline had clearly seen it too and was so awkward that she did not know what to say.
| spat out my mouthwash and walked over to grab that white shirt. Caroline stammered, "Mrs. Grant, maybe M- «
Mr Grant..."
