Chapter 860


    I cast my eyes down and did not say anything.


    Although I knew what he said was right, it was hard not to feel sad when the child who had been


    under my care for so long was not going to be around anymore.


    At the thought of how Munchkin would spend less time at home after he grew up and went to


    university, I felt even more heartbroken.


    I looked sideways at Theo and said in a deep, low voice, "Let''s have another child.”


    His body stiffened slightly as his gaze turned somewhat profound. "Alright, I''ll work harder and strive


    to help you conceive after the new year." My face turned red, and I avoided his gaze. I stepped


    away from his arms and said, "Hurry up and go downstairs t o have your breakfast. You’re running


    late."


    Theo gave me a kiss on the cheek and said with a smile, "I''m the boss. Who''s bold enough to


    deduct my sry if I''mte?"


    I red at him, not bothering to argue with him.


    After going downstairs and seeing him sitting in the living room reading a newspaper, I was nearly


    angered to death. "Why don''t you finish your work earlier and take your annual leave earlier? Didn''t

    promise to take me on a trip?"


    Theo looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "Work never ends. But if you want to, then I can take


    you on a trip any time."


    I did not even bother talking to him anymore and trotted into the dining room.


    Theo followed behind me. Caroline had long prepared breakfast. Munchkin was sitting quietly on


    the chair, his cutleries untouched. He was clearly waiting for us t oe downstairs.


    Seeing me walk in, he said, "I''m on holiday now, Mommy. Can you take me back to Zenon?"


    I knew that he wanted to go back and see Pumpkin, but I had already promised Mason that he


    could take him to South Vasetine. I could only inform him of this with regret.


    Munchkin looked a little disappointed. "But I promised Pumpkin to go back and see her during the


    holiday."


    I looked back at Theo, not knowing what to say for a moment.


    Theo walked up to Munchkin’s side and wrapped his arms around his shoulder. He persuaded him


    with a warm voice, "What about this, Munchkin? I''ll ask Mason to take you to Zenon first so you and


    Pumpkin can see each other. Then, I’ll ask him to take you to South Vasetine on a vacation."


    The little guy lowered his head and thought seriously about it. He then sighed after that and said,


    "That’s fine too."


    After a pause, he asked Theo and me, "Aren’t you guys going to apany me?"


    I stroked his head. "Theo has work to finish and I have things to do too. You''ll have to travel far to


    learn more things. Mason is taking you to other cities to learn new things and have fun. That will be


    good for you."


    Although Munchkin did not quite understand what I was saying, he thought the things I said were


    logical, s o he nodded obediently. "Okay, Mommy.”


    Theo nced at me with a teasing look on his face. "I didn''t know you had quite the knack for


    fooling people."


    I quickly pped his arm and red at him.


    Fortunately, Munchkin’s attention was drawn to the toast that Caroline served. Otherwise, he would


    be crying by now.


    After having breakfast, Theo went to the living room t o read the newspaper. He was not at all


    anxious about going to work.


    I was going out, so I reminded Caroline to take good care of Munchkin. I then walked up to Theo


    and said indifferently, "When are you going to thepany?"


    He raised his eyebrows. "I’m leaving with you.”


    I was stunned. "I’m not going to Grant Corporation.”


    He shrugged. "I know. I''ll drop you off at the hospital o n my way."


    "I can drive by myself."


    Theo got up and walked up to me. He held my hand and said, "It''s snowing too heavily outside. It''s


    not safe for you to drive by yourself. I won''t be at ease."
