Me and him?
Theo's words sunk me into deep thought.
My relationship with Cole… I did not know him, but he seemed to know me when he saw me for the first time. Every step he took seemed to be truly a guide for me.
I pursed my lips, not knowing how to answer.
"Wanda," Theo called me softly.
I reacted and looked up at him. "Huh?"
He patted the back of my hand. "If you can't figure it out, don't think about it. Just let nature take its course."
"But..." I started but did not continue. In fact, I did not know what to say.
The corners of Theo's mouth curled slightly, and he turned to me with a meaningful gaze. "Leave it to time. You can cooperate with Cole. If he wants to continue telling you, you can get more information."
He was right.
I nodded slightly. "Yes, we’ll see."
Seeing Petra’s expression just now, she clearly knew Millicent but had covered it up with anger. There seemed to be a story behind it, but she did not want to tell me.
That being the case, I could only get my information from Cole.
"Things will work out," I added.
Hearing this, Theo laughed lightly. "Yes, you’re right."
Munchkin's even breathing echoed in my ears. I looked at him and noted that he was deep in sleep. I was relieved. "He’s been very happy these days."
"Because of Delia?" Theo’s voice raised.
My eyes widened as I responded to his words, "Yes, having Delia around is like him having his mother around. We used to think that he wouldn't think about her, but then I found out that I was wrong. He often woke up crying in the dark just because he dreamed about Cecilia. Even though it made me sad, there was nothing I could do."
I also began feeling a little sentimental when I thought of this. After a pause, I continued, "It's alright now. I believe that Munchkin won’t ever cry again with Delia here."
