I had not seen Petra for a long time, but when I came to her place, she had a smile on her face.
"Wanda, Theo, you two are finally willing to come to see me, eh?" She came forward to meet her.
I got pulled into work after giving birth and had not visited her.
Feeling guilty, I took Petra's hand, and we sat down together.
Grayson got someone to pour some water for us. He was also smiling. "We’ve been idling at home till we couldn’t any longer, so I suggested to your mother that we go out and have fun. I didn't think we wouldn’t be able to stop after being out for just half a month."
They had worked hard for their careers during the early years, and it was rare for them to have such free time. It was a good thing that they were out traveling and having fun more.
"It's good that you have more time to travel," I added.
"I should go to your place. I want to see my grandchildren."
Come to think of it, Petra and Grayson had not seen Timothy and Wendy for a long time. If the film crew were not still filming at home today, I would have gotten them to come to the villa.
I held her hand and said with a smile, "You can come over any time as long as you want."
"Alright, alright." Petra smiled as she looked at me. "By the way, you called me the other day. You said you had something to tell me. You sounded like you were in a hurry too. What's the matter? Why did you need to speak with us?"
I turned to look at Theo. There was a slight hesitation in my eyes.
As if noticing my hesitation, Petra sort of realized that something was wrong and frowned. "Wanda, is there something important?"
"If you can't say it, shall I?" Theo held my hand and asked softly.
It was better for me to ask her myself.
Thinking this, I shook my head, then turned my gaze to Petra. I parted my lips slightly. "Mom, I have a question. Please answer me honestly."
Seeing my solemn expression, Petra became aware of the seriousness of the matter, and the smile on her face faded unconsciously. "Alright, tell me."
