It just so happened to be the weekend, and Munchkin was also at home when I got home. He immediately rushed toward me when he saw me. "Mommy, you're back."
Nudging his little face, I smiled brightly. "Yeah, did you miss me?"
"Yes."
I held his little hand, and we went into the living room. The table was already covered with food, and it did not look like Caroline’s work. Although the food smelled great, they looked worse than before.
I looked up at Theo, who was not far away, and pointed at the table. "You made these?"
"Naturally."
"I testify that Daddy made all these. Daddy said that Mommy was coming back today and that he wanted to surprise Mommy.”
Looking at these dishes, I nodded. "They look alright, but I wonder how they taste. I hope they won't give me diarrhea."
Hearing this, Theo's face drooped, and I quickly changed my tune. "They must be delicious. Munchkin, we’ll clean up all these dishes tonight."
"Alright."
I turned to look at Theo and saw that his expression had improved. "Let's eat."
Putting my luggage aside temporarily, I sat down to eat first. I had to say, the taste was not bad.
"The food’s pretty good. For someone who has never done any housework before, you know your way around the kitchen quite well when you put your mind to it.”
“I just followed the recipes. It's nothing. It’s very simple."
A few words of praise were enough to make him conceited.
I smiled and shook my head. Dinner was very filling.
The consequence of overeating was that I could not sleep. Theo brought me a digestive tablet and had me take it. "Why did you force yourself if you couldn’t finish? Are you stupid?"
"As if it wasn’t to flatter you and make you happier."
Taking a sip of water, I swallowed the digestive tablet.
Lying on the bed, I rubbed my belly. "Shannon and I will go see Cecilia tomorrow."
