A chuckle rang out. “What's wrong? Did you meet couples displaying their affection for each other at the manor?"
He was cracking jokes, but I could not bring myself to feel happy.
"No. I just want to see you."
Theo seemed to sense my odd emotions and replied solemnly, "Alright. Ask Keith to bring you guys over. I’ll wait for you at the hotel."
I got into a car with Munchkin after leaving the manor's grounds. As expected, the little guy fell asleep during the journey.
He carefully held a takeaway box the manor had provided in his arms. Even though he had fallen asleep, he did not forget to hold the box steady.
I fondled his fair, soft, and tiny hand. I felt miserable when I thought of Theo, whom I would see very soon.
This happiness had been hard to achieve, but 1 did not feel any bit of enjoyment toward it. Instead, I felt more worried and fearful.
I did not know what was happening to me either.
It happened to be the evening rush hour when we arrived in the city. Traffic was slightly congested, but at least the car could still make its way forward. That might not be too bad for those who drove, and in fact, some might even view it as a blessing in disguise. However, my current emotions made all this difficult for me to comprehend.
I felt like this traffic jam would make me lose everything.
I was so scared by the thoughts that had formed in my mind that I did not dare continue my train of thought. All I could do was pray that traffic would ease up as soon as possible so I could meet Theo soon.
Finally, after a nearly 20-minute traffic jam, I arrived at the hotel.
Keith drove off to park the car while I got out of the car with Munchkin.
