"Oh? Are you reluctant to go back?" Theo glanced in the direction of the storage room, his question meaningful.
I looked at him. Was he jealous again?
I raised my brow and said with a smile, "As much as it feels good, Munchkin is right. It's not too late to move back here for retirement."
"Munchkin?" Theo's interest was piqued. He turned his head and glanced at Munchkin who was having a good time with Tina, the corners of his mouth curling up. "Did he say that?"
He obviously did not expect Munchkin to say such a thing. I nodded. Theo could not really believe it. "Even Munchkin was able to come to this reasoning at such a young age. Do you see how close-minded you were before this?"
He had a big smile on his face and seemed to be in a good mood.
"And isn’t that because of a certain someone?" I rolled my eyes at him.
I get angry whenever the past was brought up.
Seeing my expression change, Theo regained his composure. "Alright, alright. Let's not talk about it anymore."
The waiter was also bringing the dishes out one by one at this time. "Let's eat."
I did not fuss with him and called Munchkin and Tina to come over for dinner.
After dinner, we had to go back to the hotel since the sky was already getting a little dark.
When we were at the door of the restaurant, Munchkin and Tina were reluctant to part. Munchkin took my hand, his small face all twisted up. "Mommy, when will we see Pumpkin again?"
I did not know how to respond to this question as we might not come back to Zenon for a long time.
"The focus of my work will gradually shift to Whaldorf City, so I believe we'll meet again soon," Fred said suddenly.
The children were so happy the moment they heard this they practically jumped three feet into the air.
I narrowed my eyes on Fred. "Will you really be transferring to Whaldorf City?"
He nodded. "Yes, I can't live in Zenon for the rest of my life."
