"That’s right."
The little guy did not even hesitate before he answered, and that gave Theo and me a shock.
As the car pulled to a stop in front of the mansion, Theo and I stared at each other. We were at a loss as to what we should say.
Munchkin had already happily bounded out of the car and dashed back into his
room.
Theo looked at me. "Did he mention anything before coming to Whaldorf City? For example, did he ever say he didn't want to live with us?"
I shook my head. "No, he didn't. Besides, Munchkin said he wanted to spend time with us.
I was beginning to worry.
A little while later, I walked over to Munchkin’s room and saw the little guy sitting at his desk and reading the books we bought today.
Besides the one he was currently holding, he had stacked all the other books beside him neatly. One could tell that these books were very precious to him.
Munchkin closed his book when he saw me coming in. "Mommy."
"Munchkin, what are you doing?"
"I'm reading, Mommy. I've already finished unpacking. When will our things at Zenon be moved here?"
I smiled as I sat down on the side of his bed. "Soon. Daddy has asked Larson to help us take care of it," I replied half-heartedly. After all, that was not the main reason I came in.
"Munchkin, I have a few things I would like to discuss with you regarding your schooling. Can we do that?"
