I shook my head. "I won't go back to Whaldorf City first."
I wanted to bring Munchkin to Salt City to take a look. I wanted him to visit Cecilia.
Although I still could not bring myself to tell him the truth yet, I must let him know who Cecilia was. Cecilia was an important person to him and to me.
On the weekend, Fred brought Tina over. None of the kids mentioned our departure. As usual, we ate happily and sat on the sofa chatting afterward.
Late at night, after Fred took Tina away, Munchkin hugged me and cried.
I understood that leaving was extremely heartbreaking for a child. It would take them a much longer time to accept it, unlike adults. However, we had to leave, so I could only comfort him as much as I could.
When Munchkin was tired of crying and fell asleep, I gave Theo a call.
The call connected very quickly and a sexy, attractive voice entered my ears. "I had just pulled out my phone to give you a call when you called me. We have a great tacit understanding."
I smiled, then looked out the window at the bright moon hanging high in the sky. I said, "I quit my job.”
He did not seem surprised and said mildly, "It's not necessarily a bad thing to quit your job. With the ability that you have, staying there is quite a waste of your talent.”
I helplessly smiled. "I don't have many abilities.”
"Where do you plan to go?" he asked, his voice warm and tender.
I pursed my lips. "I haven't thought about it yet."
I was not lying, really. Whaldorf City was a great choice, and I would probably choose to return.
However, what if I wanted to stay in Salt City instead after I went back?
After all, Salt City was a big city too and it was very advanced in many aspects. Munchkin could receive a n equally good education there.
