"Y-You're back," Petra said, looking a little nervous and conflicted.
I pursed my lips and nodded indifferently. Seeing that Xander and Jerome were not around, I asked, "They went out?"
Petra shook her head. "Jerome is in the infant room and Xander went out to buy some things."
I nodded and said no more.
Munchkin saw me and reached out to me to hold him.
I took him and sat on the sofa.
Petra and Grayson exchanged glances with each other, their eyes containing complicated emotions.
They seemed to have something to say to me. I did not say anything and was merely holding Munchkin while playing with him.
After a very long time, perhaps Petra was unable to stand the silence, she spoke. She glanced at me and asked, "I heard from Xander that you and Theo are getting a divorce?"
I nodded and hummed a reply, saying no more.
Stunned, she did not know what to say for a moment.
Grayson, on the other hand, was slightly mad. He said
furiously, "That's right. Get a divorce or he's going to break our family sooner or later.”
