This question was so inexplicable that I immediately retorted. “Delia, do you think of me as a frivolous person?”
“Who else could’ve done such a thing?!” Delia did not believe me, and I was annoyed when she judged it with such certainty.
My anger burned the more I thought about this, and I immediately shot back, “If Munchkin doesn’t wish to greet you, then so be it! Who do you think you are? Instead of looking at yourself when something goes wrong, you blame it on me instead.”
Did she think my temper was good, so she could lay all these false charges on me?!
I rolled my eyes, my vision sweeping past Theo to land on Munchkin. I found the little guy's gaze a little dodgy.
What was happening now? I was puzzled and swallowed back the words that had reached my lips.
Delia was wholly dissatisfied. She looked at Theo with wet eyes as if she wanted the man to help her.
I snorted with disdain seeing that the peaceful atmosphere in the living room was now destroyed with no hopes of recovering. Munchkin’s little chest became filled with anger over the fact that his mommy had now been targeted.
He ran in between Delia and me before glaring at her. “Stop talking about Mommy! I saw with my own eyes that you’re a bad person! You’re not worthy of being my mommy!
"Munchkin will only have one mommy from now on!”
I saw Delia's face turn extremely ugly the moment Munchkin declared this.
However, she put on the pitiful look of having suffered a great wrong in a blink of an eye and cried to Theo.
“President Grant, please say something. I think I put in quite a lot of thought when it comes to Munchkin. If I’m not coddling him, I’m cajoling him. I declined several jobs just to take care of him. It’s hard work without credit, yet this is how he’s treating me?”
As long as Theo was present, Delia would always sound like she was choking up when she spoke. Not to mention how she was even pretending at the moment. I could not help myself. I rubbed my tortured ears and shuddered.
Theo just had his brows raised when I looked at him again. It was like he had no intention of speaking up for her. “Munchkin is still a child. Why are you competing with him?”
