Chapter 871
Susan was amused by her words. "It''s not that bad, actually. An average baby weighs about six
pounds. You don''t have to eat too much. Just make sure the baby gets enough nutrients. When
you’ve given birth t o the baby, you can slowly adjust your diet and then lose weight."
Among the two women, one of them had just given birth while another was currently pregnant.
Hence, they naturally had a lot inmon to talk about. I listened to them talk while eating the
dessert and suddenly felt at peace. I merely hoped that the two women would not involve me in
their topics.
"Wanda, my brother said that Mason brought Munchkin to South Vasetine. He has never separated
from you since he was a kid. You must be sad about separating, right?" Cassey said, looking at me.
Susan echoed, "You and Mr. Grant really should have a second child.”
I pursed my lips. "He won’t stay in South Vasetine forever. He''lle home in a few more days."
Cassey snickered. "Don''t avoid the topic. Honestly, you and Theo should hurry and have another
while you''re still young. If you''re worried that Munchkin will be upset, you can seek his opinion. He''s
already four now
and knows certain things. Maybe he wants a brother o r a sister too."
I sighed lightly. "Theo and I n to discuss this after the holidays. He has too many things to handle
in thepany recently and isn''t in the state to consider this matter."
Hearing that Theo and I had the intention of having another child, Susan and Cassey smiled
reassuringly.
"I''m going to the hospitalter. Petra is hospitalized for appendicitis. If not for the fact that she''s my
brother’s sweetheart, I really wouldn''t want to go," Cassey said in displeasure.
Susan smiled. "Appendicitis surgery is a minor surgery. She''ll only need to be hospitalized for seven
days. It should be over soon."
She looked at me after saying that, seemingly asking me how many more days before Petra would
be discharged.
I did not know the answer to this question and was torn about what to say when the phone rang.
I fished out my phone and saw that it was from Mason. I quickly answered it.
Munchkin''s voice rang out from the other side." Mommy, Mason and I are at the airport now. We’re
boarding the ne soon."

My face broke into a grin. "Alright. Don''t forget to give me a call when you disembarkter so I''ll
know that you’re safe."
Munchkin let out a chuckle. "Alright, Mommy. I will."
Grant Corporation''s annual convention was only a few days away. Theo had be even busier
now.
I would not usually feel that lonely when Munchkin was around, but now that he was not, I suddenly
felt lonely.
I would start to miss him every time I finished dinner. Although we spoke on video calls every night,
my heart still felt empty because I could not hold or touch him.
This afternoon, Theo came home and noticed how downcast I was. He sat on the sofa and took me
into his arms. "Are youing to thepany''s annual convention tonight?"
I shook my head almost subconsciously. Theo sighed softly and said helplessly, "Can youe
with me? You haven’t left the door for days. Just take it as you’re going out for some fresh air."
I looked up at him and chuckled bitterly. "You know I don''t like crowded ces."
Theo raised his eyebrows. "I don''t feel at ease leaving you at home alone. I won''t be going too,
then."
This guy!
Left with no other choice, I could only follow him. The annual convention was held in a five-star
hotel.
A long table wasid out in the middle of the ballroom, and spread out on it was a variety of
champagne and delicate pastries. Some pastries looked so scrumptious that I grabbed a te and
took a few. I then found a quiet ce to enjoy them.
Sensing someone behind me, I turned around to look and noticed that it was Celine. 1
She had a te of pastries in her hand just like me. She also looked like she just wanted to find a
quiet ce to eat.
