I was surprised to hear banter downstairs when I walked out of the room. Why were there guests this early in the morning?
After going downstairs, my expression sank after seeing the man sitting on the sofa in the living room.
I was able to recognize him by seeing his back itself.
We had not seen each other for several days. After our argument this time, I was prepared to not see him for a short period of time. I knew that his anger would take a long time to dissipate after our serious argument and the hurtful words we hurled at each other.
I had also expected him to appear here.
In fact, I refused to admit that it was because I knew he was never going to leave me no matter how hurtful my words were that I fearlessly said those hurtful words. I knew he would never leave and would eventually come back to coax me.
I should reflect on myself. Was I truly not at fault?
I never realized back then that I never thought I was in the wrong every time I argued with Theo, let alone reflected on myself. Every time after an argument, Theo would relent. As time passed, I grew more and more fearless.
Grayson saw me and did not reply to Theo.
He turned around as though he knew what was going on.
Petra walked out of the kitchen at this moment and saw me. She said with a
smile, "You slept late last night and woke up so early this morning?”
I smiled. "I'm awake."
"Mr. Grant arrived a long time ago and just had his breakfast. You should have yours too. There's a newly opened water theme park in the city center. Munchkin has been wanting to go for the longest time. Your dad and I wanted to take him but he refused to. He insisted that both of you take him there. Now that you're back, it’s time to realize his wish."
I nodded. "Okay."
I did not look at Theo and turned around to enter the dining room.
