All the major companies' holidays had ended. I received many texts from the company asking me when I would return to Whaldorf City as there were many artists waiting for my arrangements.
I thought about it and planned to go back in two days.
"What time did Theo go out this morning, Miss Woods?" I asked when Miss Woods came in to clear the table.
"He left at dawn. He was probably in a hurry to handle something urgent," Miss Woods said, then paused and looked at me, saying, "I heard the other day that Cindy isn't Petra and Grayson's daughter. They previously held a press conference and even a banquet telling the whole world that she was their daughter. It would be fun to watch them say they had made a mistake now."
I was stunned. "Who did you hear this from?"
If Miss Woods knew about it, would that not mean that many people had learned about it too?
Miss Woods smiled. "I heard a caretaker from another family talking about it when I was at the market buying groceries."
I pursed my lips and did not ask any more questions.
I was not well these days, so I had asked Jerome to
watch after Munchkin for me first. Now that I planned to go back to Whaldorf City, I needed to go and pick Munchkin up.
After eating, I simply packed some clothes and drove t o Jerome and Xander's place.
When I arrived, Jerome was cooking in the kitchen and Xander was holding Munchkin. When he saw me, he twitched his mouth. "What kind of mother are you? I thought you had disappeared."
I felt a little apologetic and said, "I went to France and just came back last night. How's Munchkin doing these few days? Has he been behaving?"
He nodded. Seeing Munchkin reaching out for me to hold him, he handed Munchkin to me and said, "This little buddy doesn’t really want infant formula anymore ever since he started drinking breast milk."
I held Munchkin and indeed, he felt somewhat lighter now. I sat on the couch, looked at Jerome, and noticed how serious he was at cooking. I asked, "Do you plan t o go back to Whaldorf City?"
He frowned. "Are you going back to Whaldorf City?"
