Dangerous?
I was confused. "What's wrong, Mom?"
"This woman was able to make Munchkin treat her so well so easily. If she wants to, she might even snatch your husband away!"
Petra's words got a laugh out of me. "No, Mom. You should stop overthinking."
"I’m not overthinking. You’re just too open. You keep thinking Theo won’t leave you, but you must be careful with this kind of woman. You’ll regret it otherwise. I’m someone who has experienced this."
I nodded and echoed to her, "Alright, I understand."
Although Delia had a good relationship with Munchkin now, I believed her. I could not imagine what she could do with her face that was so similar to Cecilia’s.
Munchkin came around, and we brought the fruits out to the living room. "Have some fruit, Mommy." He picked a grape with his little hand and handed it to me before picking up another for Delia. "Have some too, Mommy Delia. "
"Look, the two of you are already equal in Munchkin's heart." Petra nudged me.
I smiled at her. "Don't worry, Mom. I know what's going on."
It was almost time for us to leave.
I glanced at Delia and said, "We'll send you back first."
"No, no. I'll have my driver send Miss Owens back. You can drive back to the villa directly. It’ll save you the trouble," Petra said to me hurriedly.
I certainly knew what Petra's intention was after what I said earlier. She just did not want Delia to get too close to Munchkin or Theo. I understood what she intended, so I did not expose her.
"Aunt is right. This way, you don’t have to trouble yourself."
"Alright. Then let me know when you get home."
