The next morning, Theo and I dropped Munchkin off at the hotel where Fred was staying.
We had made plans to have breakfast together that morning because of how excited the children were.
We originally wanted to meet up slightly later, but both kids seemed unhappy with that decision during our discussion yesterday. It seemed that they felt that having breakfast would be a waste of their time, and they would rather have breakfast together so they could immediately head to the park after that.
In the end, we had no choice but to comply with their wishes.
Fred was not at the hotel entrance when we arrived. He was probably accompanying Tina.
I did not feel at ease and insisted on delivering Munchkin right into Fred's arms before we left. Theo did not say anything in reply and instead got ready to get out of the car.
It seemed he was going to ask someone else to park the car for him. I reached a hand out to stop him as I said, "You should return to work. I'll ask Keith to pick me up later. You'll have to take the long way if you only return to work after dropping me off."
"That's alright. There's nothing urgent to deal with today."
I leaned against the door and tilted my head to the side as I said, "You say that every time you go to work. There might not be anything urgent to deal with, but you have plenty of important matters to take care of.'
I pouted and showed my displeasure. I had an issue with him continuously working overtime for a long time now.
"Your focus is commendable, but you’ll destroy your health if you do this every day."
I expressed my displeasure.
"Why are you worried? Are you worried I'll become incompetent?" he asked as he raised his eyebrows. I immediately knew his mind was filled with all sorts of trashy thoughts again when I saw the look on his face.
"What?" I glared at him before turning around to look at Munchkin. Thankfully, he was staring enraptured at the flowers in a nearby flower bed and had not overheard our conversation. That was a relief.
