When Rainee learned that Munchkin was his son, she was evidently in low spirits. The way she looked at me was especially hostile.
I was not too concerned. I did not mind as long as she could take care of Munchkin properly.
Munchkin followed her into the kindergarten. It was already quite late by now. There were still a bunch of things back at the company waiting for Theo to handle, so I declined his offer to drive me home.
When the driver brought me home, I took my laptop and went to sit in the gazebo, intending to look up the conditions for applying for Whaldorf University.
The application would be open in December and the examination would be in March next year. I still had a lot of time to prepare.
When it was nearly noon, I returned to the villa and planned to watch TV in the living room for a while. As soon as I sat down on the sofa and picked up the remote control, the phone in my pocket started vibrating.
I took it out and saw that it was an unknown number.
Thinking that it was a spam call, I hung up. However, the other party called again. Spam calls would not
usually attempt a second time, so I picked it up this time.
A mild and calm voice of a woman sounded. "It's been a while, Wanda."
Even after three years, I could still tell that this was Cindy’s voice.
Seeing that I did not say anything, she did not mind either. "I'm at the villa's entrance and can't go in. Can you come out? Let's have a chat."
I got up and walked to the door. I looked toward the villa’s entrance, and sure enough, there was a sports car there. Cindy was standing next to it.
"What do you want to talk about?" I did not know what else was there for us to talk about.
