Chapter 636
This child really deserved to get beaten up!
I sighed in exasperation and carried the basket as I hugged the watermelon that I had just picked in
my arms. I walked toward him and asked, "Why did youe over? Didn''t you say that you were
busy with worktely?"
He put Munchkin down, taking the basket and watermelon from my hands. He then said, "I knew
that the fruits here were ripe, so I came over for a few days to eat the fruits. Can''t I do that?"
I nodded and said, "Yes, you can eat as much as you like. I don''t mind youing over to eat. I’m
just afraid that you won’t be able to finish everything."
Jerome had opened a psychological counseling center in Salt City. He had been doing well these
few years.
He often came over to visit Munchkin during the first few years that I came to Zenon. He only visited
a few times per year now that he was busier with work.
After having dinner, he had some fruits. Munchkin started demanding to go outside for a walk.
Everyone had nothing much to do, so we all headed downstairs.
There were plenty of rhododendron trees on both sides of the road. The flowers were in full bloom
since it was the middle of summer. Munchkin loved ying here, especially with Fred and Tina.
There was a beverage shop in the neighborhood.
Munchkin always demanded to get a drink every time we passed by, but I rarely bought any drinks
for him. However, Fred always let him get what he wanted. Munchkin would always demand deserts
when Fred was here.
He did the same this time around. Fred came out of the beverage shop with ice cream in his hands.
He handed an ice cream to Munchkin and Tina each.
After that, he handed one to me as well.
I could not help butugh and say, "You''re treating me as a child.”

Munchkin licked the ice cream cautiously and raised his head to look at Fred. "Uncle Fred, why do
you always buy ice cream for my mother? My mother says that only little kids eat ice cream. Adults
don’t eat it."
Fredughed and said, "Your mother is a child like you."
Munchkin did not understand what he meant. He looked at Jerome and said, "Uncle Jerome is the
same age as Mommy, so he''s a child as well. Why didn''t you buy ice cream for him?"
Jerome spat out the mouthful of water in his mouth before he could swallow it. He looked at
Munchkin and said, "Kid, I''m a man, not a child. I don''t eat ice cream. I''m different from your mother.
Your mother will always be a child no matter how old she is."
Munchkin nodded like he understood what Jerome said.
Night gradually fell. The lights on both sides of the streets lit up. I could not help but be immersed in
the view. It was easy to live a simple life. Why could I not d o so in the past?
"What are you thinking about?" Jerome poked me.
I returned to my senses and noticed that Munchkin and Tina had run away into the distance. Fred
was behind both of them, so I stopped worrying and looked at Jerome. "I''m not thinking about
anything."
Jerome looked at Fred, who was protecting the children by their sides, and raised his brow. "He has
good looks and an excellent personality. However, he''s a little too old. Nevertheless, he’s a good
choice."
I felt slightly dizzy after listening to what he said. I frowned and asked, "What are you talking
about?"
He shrugged and said, "I''m looking for a man for you."
The corner of my mouth twitched as I said, "It seems like you haven''t really been busy with work
lately."
Jerome crossed his arms in front of his chest as a serious expression formed on his face. "Actually,
I think that he''s a pretty nice person. He treats you well, and he''s good in all other aspects. He’s
taken good
care of Munchkin throughout the years. You''re almost 30 now. Since you''ve let go of the past, you
should start nning out your life now. Find someone to keep youpany. You won''t be lonely
after Munchkin leaves you when he grows up."
Nobody liked listening to such words. I rolled my eyes at him and walked forward hurriedly.
However, he did not give up. He followed me from behind and continued to nag at me. "I''m giving
you beneficial advice. In life, we always need to be looking ahead. Theo Grant is about to get
engaged. You should make ns for your future as well."
I paused and stood in the same spot in a momentary daze thatsted a few seconds. After that, I
returned to my senses and turned around to look at Jerome. "He''s getting engaged?" I asked in an
even tone. 1
