Chapter 657
I nned to wash those clothes after work but he was already doing it for me.
When he heard movements, he turned around to look a t me with a warm gaze. "I’ll be done soon.
The food is i n the pot. You and Munchkin can start without me."
This was the so-called nd life, where the whole family would be home in the evening, each of us
doing things that contributed to the family. It was ordinary but warm.
I pursed my lips and walked up to him. I bent down and snatched the clothes from him. "I''ll do it."
When I saw the man''s exquisite and slender hands, m y cheeks blushed even more.
This was supposed to be a pair of hands meant for signing contracts, yet they were now used to
wash my clothes.
He frowned and snatched the clothes back from me." Munchkin has been starving since earlier.
Hurry up and let him eat. The child mustn''t go hungry."
He was not like the Theo I used to know. If he did not want me to do something, he would persuade
me with reason instead of being overbearing like before.
After counting, I realized that he was 35 years old this
year. Perhaps it was because he was older now, that was why he was more dependable.
I went back to the house, still feeling a little dazed.
I saw and read from the news about the Serena that Fiona spoke about. There was a lot of news
about this actress recently. She suddenly shot to fame in the entertainment industry two years ago
and had been attending various events with Theo recently, gaining all the traffic she needed.
A wealthy and good-looking man was so much more attractive than a young and dashing man,
hence the reporters and media would often pay attention to his private life. When Serena appeared
beside him, the media and reporters started fighting to report about it.

I lived a peaceful life with Munchkin in Zenon. I would not reject his visits nor make him stay. There
were many things in life that could not be forced, and without hope, one would not be afraid of
losing it.
I had just put the food on the table when someone knocked on the door.
Munchkin went to get the door. It was Fred and Tiana.
Fred was carrying lobsters that were still alive, apparently just caught.
When he entered the house and saw that Theo was also around, he was stunned for just a
moment. He handed the lobsters to me, saying with a smile, "I passed by the seafood market when
I went to pick Tiana up and she wanted to eat lobsters. I thought
maybe I could get some for you too."
I nodded and took the lobsters. "Thank you.”
Theo and Fred came face to face with each other.
They shook hands and greeted each other.
"Why don''t the two of you stay back and we''ll have dinner together?” I invited them to stay for
dinner.
Fred did not refuse and took a seat with Tiana.
Both men hadmon topics to talk about, so they spoke while they ate. As they spoke, Theo
looked at m e and asked, "Is there wine at home?"
I nodded. "We have red wine."
Jerome brought two bottles when he came overst time, saying that it was okay for me to drink
some to maintain my beauty. However, they had been in the cupboard ever since and never opened
them.
Theo smiled. "How can we not have wine when there are guests at home?"
Anyone could tell the implications behind those words. Fred was stunned for a moment before
letting out a powerless smile.
I pursed my lips, did not say anything, and got up to grab the wine.
When I came back, the two had started chatting amiably again. I breathed a sigh of relief.
When I sat down at the table, Fred looked at me with a smile and said, "I''ve known you for so long
but had no
idea that you can''t eat shrimp."
I looked at Theo and saw him looking down to open the wine bottle. His gaze was warm and tender,
his temperament elegant.
I frowned and said, "I won’t stop eating itpletely. Munchkin likes eating it and I would
asionally eat i t with him. I''ll be fine as long as I don''t eat too much."
I fell ill when I gave birth back then. Eating seafood gave me aches when I was on my period, but
that did not mean that I could not eat it at all.
