The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 562

At noon, Jerome came home with two bags of fruits in his hand. He had probably bought them on his way back.

He was not surprised to see Theo. Xander had probably informed him beforehand.

I had the impression that Jerome was always behaving like a child, but he looked a lot more mature now. The only thing that remained the same was his beautiful face.

Xander had changed a lot. He no longer fooled around and looked a lot more reliable as he had now learned how to take care of others.

The two of them stood in the kitchen cooking while chatting, looking especially heartwarming.

When the dishes were served, we all took our seats at the table.

I looked at Xander. "Are you going home for New Year’s Eve?"

Petra married Xander's father back then for his money and succeeded. I figured that Xander still held a grudge against his father.

"Why should I go back to a family like that?" Xander tossed the question back indifferently.

I pursed my lips and did not say a word.

Halfway through the meal, Jerome put down his cutleries. "If you have time, put Munchkin down on your family registry."

I was stunned, not expecting him to bring this up first.

Xander sighed. "Jerome and I can't afford to adopt him. You're different. You're legally husband and wife. You can go through the formal procedures to adopt him. Moreover, Cecilia specifically asked for you to raise her child."

Theo nodded. "I'll get it done as soon as possible."

"One more thing." There was a mocking smile on Xander's face. "Petra gave me a call and wanted me to invite everyone for a meal together."

Petra?
