It was not a problem to stay in Petra and Grayson’s house for some time. If he truly loved spending time with his grandparents, we would respect the choice he made.
However, if he made such a choice because of us, then it would be out of the question.
"But Mommy..." Munchkin lifted his head seriously and stared at me with his bright little eyes.
"Mommy, I've watched a lot of documentaries. It’s difficult for Daddy and Mommy to take care of a newborn baby. I'll still have to go to school. I'll be troubling you if I stay here. I should head to Grandpa and Grandma’s house for the time being. I can keep them company and relieve your burden at the same time...' "Munchkin!” My tone suddenly became serious. I could not help but suppress my emotions after realizing that I might scare him off.
"Remember that you’ll never be a trouble for this family," I told him.
I held back my tears as Cecilia came into my mind.
Munchkin and Cecilia were the same. They were willing to make sacrifices for me.
Cecilia's death had already made me regret it. If I had to spell it out, I was the one who had to ask for her forgiveness. I was the one who owed Cecilia and Munchkin a favor.
However, Munchkin was still showing consideration for my days ahead.
I did not want to mention what had happened back then in front of Munchkin, so I swallowed my tears back and squatted down in front of the bed.
"Munchkin, listen to me. You’re right. We're going to be busier after this. Daddy and Mommy will have a lot of things to do, but regardless of work or taking care of you and the baby, we won't leave you alone,"
