Chapter 699


    I was stunned for a moment. Why was he reporting such a trivial matter to me?


    He probably noticed my confusion, so he raised his right hand and pointed to his wristwatch with a


    finger from his left hand. "It''ll be one o’clock soon. Mr. Grant told me that he promised you toe


    back for lunch, s o he has toe home. But there''s a traffic jam on the road."

    Why did I suddenly feel like I was being treated as a petty person?


    After about 20 minutes, Theo came back.


    I watched as he stood in front of me, his forehead lightly beaded with sweat. He looked like he had


    come home in a hurry.


    His dark eyes were dazzling like ck stones with streaks of light shining through. "I''m notte, am


    I?"


    I suddenlyughed, then wiped his sweat after getting on my tiptoes. "Did you run back?"


    He would not be sweating so much if he came back by car.


    He took off his jacket and said in a rxed manner,"


    Just take it as an exercise." "You don''t need to rush next time. I''m here. I''m not going anywhere," I


    could not help but say these words after wiping his sweat. There was a hint of warmth in my heart.


    He smiled. "I know, but I just can''t wait to see you sooner."


    The honeyed words were blurted out of his mouth, and I could not help butugh.


    Munchkin ran over and hugged his legs, saying in a soft voice, "Theo, are you not strong enough?


    Why do you need to exercise?"


    A child’s words carried no harm. Theo picked him up and looked at me with an obscure gaze. "I''ve


    always been very strong."


    Me,"???"


    This belongs to N?velDrama.Org.


    When the caretakers were done cooking, he went upstairs to take a shower and came down with a


    file i n his hand.


    After handing the file to Keith, he said, "Go and get Munchkin''s enrollment procedures done."


    Keith took the file and left. Munchkin rested his chin o n his hand and sighed, looking slightly


    unhappy.


    Naturally, Theo saw that, so he asked with a smile, " Don''t you want to go to school, Munchkin?"


    Munchkin shook his head. "I don’t have any friends in the new school. What if they crowd me out?


    What if I can''t make friends? I''ll be alone until I go to elementary school and grow up all alone."


    Theo and I were cracked up by his words.


    "You''ll find a friend, Munchkin. You’re so adorable,” Theoforted him.


    Munchkin was notforted at all. Instead, he grew even grumpier. "Adorable isn''t the adjective for


    boys. I f I''m adorable as you say I am, Theo, then I certainly won''t get a friend."


    After a pause, he sighed and continued, "What a worrying future."


    Theo was about to say something else when I stopped him. "Ignore him."


    Every time this child started talking like that, his words and his heart would contradict each other.


    He surely had other bad ideas in mind. I had experience i n this. Ignoring him would be the best way


    to do it.


    Seeing that his n had fallen through, Munchkin pouted. "Mommy, 1 want a toy car that I can


    drive."


    I burst outughing. "I''ll buy you one when you make friends.”


    He probably knew very well that there was no room for discussion after I said that, so he did not


    take it too far.


    Theo would handle Munchkin''s enrollment, so I was not very worried about that. I just needed to


    prepare the things that Munchkin would need for school.
