After coming back from Zenon, Munchkin had become quieter than before. He would certainly feel lonely because he was no longer surrounded by playmates.
I thought about it and nodded to agree.
Munchkin never stopped smiling since, holding the Samoyed and refusing to let go.
"Why don't you give him a name?" Theo suggested.
"I’ll call him Snowy.” Munchkin stroked Samoyed's back. "Its fur is whiter than snow."
Theo laughed. "Snowy will be your friend from now o n. You must be nice to him, okay?"
Munchkin nodded his head hard. "Of course."
When we got back to the villa, Ms. Franca was done making dinner, so we headed straight into the dining area.
After taking my seat, I said, "Actually, you don't really have to force her out. I'm not really hurt."
"You're not really hurt?" Theo touched my right shoulder.
I gasped. "What are you doing?"
Theo sighed softly. "If it weren't because I was afraid that Munchkin would be worried about you, I would’ve brought you upstairs to apply medicine by now."
Immediately after he said those words, Ms. Franca walked in with a peeled egg.
Theo reached out to take it, then started rolling the egg back and forth on the right side of my face.
I said helplessly, "She didn't slap me very hard."
I felt pain from the slap but the pain did not last very long. I took a look in the mirror when I got in the car and no marks could be seen.
Theo sneered. "Some people need to experience some form of pain to understand who they can or cannot provoke."
I pursed my lips. "Julie is Serena’s mother?”
Theo nodded.
