Chapter 1581


    I held his hand as we strolled around the mall to help with digestion.


    While strolling, I saw a children''s yground. I went inside to take a look out of curiosity.


    I knew that Munchkin was not one to be eager to y here, but I could not resist going in after seeing all the children his age having fun inside. Onlyter did I realize that there was a whole other world inside the small store.


    After walking through the sand pit andrge toys at the front, I saw many more educational toys. Further ahead, there were even small robots. There were children of all ages from elementary school to middle school in the children''s yground.


    Munchkin was staring straight at it, then he turned to ask me, "Mommy, can I y here?"


    "Of course." When I brought him to the service desk to register, the receptionist told me that there was a reading area and a coffee area at the side. "Parents can wait over there, and rest assured that your child won''t be allowed out of the store on their own. Feel free to ask our staff members if you have any special requests, but remember children need to be apanied by their parents if they wish to leave," the receptionist patiently exined to me.


    I nodded with a smile.


    I was not worried about Munchkin as he had always been a smart kid, so he would not simply run out by himself.


    Moreover, I would not be far away from him either. They must have taken safety into ount as the coffee area was an open ce with a wide and unobstructed view of the children''s area. I could just look up to see Munchkin while sitting there sipping on my coffee.


    ''I''ll go y now, Mommy." The little one could no longer hold in his excitement after leaving the service desk, but he still politely informed me.


    "Go on. Don''t forget toe over here asionally to drink water," I reminded him.


    "Okay." As soon as he finished speaking, Munchkin ran out in a sh.


    I saw him run past the building blocks and straight to therge robot. In the robotics area, there were already a few older boys


    trying to operate it.


    There were also a few kids younger than Munchkin who seemed to have


    the the robot like a Transformer


    as they tried to get it to transform into different modes.


    "So here you are. I''ve been searching all day."


    I zoned out while looking at Munchkin until my train of thought was interrupted by thatment.


    I turned back to see Ruby standing in front of me in seductive clothes. She sat down right across from me without waiting for my invitation.


    "Weren''t you doing just fine at


    home? Why did you bring your child


    to the office today all of a sudden? The disgust in her eyes made it seem as though she was the


    vel.ne


    madam of the family while I was the uninvited guest disturbing her.


    "Ms. Brook, I''m sure this is none of your business."


    I did not think that it was worthwhile exining to her.


    She sneered as if she had foreseen this happening.


    "I''m just asking if it''s really necessary.


    Didn''t President Grant tell you? He''s very busy with work these days, yet you still want to make him work overtime. It''s detrimental to his health.”ConTEent bel0ngs to N?v(e)lD/rama(.)Org .


    Her coy tone left me speechless. Did she think that I would forget what had happened in the lobby?


    Plus, it did not seem like Theo''s health had gotten worse in the past two days.


    "If that''s the case, why are you still here, Ms. Brook? Shouldn''t you hurry up and go back to work? President Grant asked you to help him solve a problem, not add to his troubles, right?"
