I froze. "What’s wrong?"
"Where did you and Munchkin go after leaving the hospital?” Theo's voice was a little hoarse.
I leaned in his arms and allowed him to hold me tight. After keeping silent for a while, I said, "I went to Zimmer Corporations to see Matthew."
His body stiffened slightly, and his voice was deep." Why did you go and see him?”
"Just to talk." How should I explain it to him? I could not find the right words to say so I simply avoided it.
He did not press on and merely fell silent for a moment before saying, "No matter where you go in the future, remember to inform me or I'll be really worried. If you can't do that, then I'll have no choice but to find someone to follow you."
After a pause, he continued, "I know doing this will make you very unhappy, but I hope you know how important you are to me. I cannot bear to have anything happening to you."
His voice trembled a little when he said those words. I had no idea what triggered him, but knowing that he was very worried about me was enough.
I looked up at him and let out a slight smile. "Alright, I
understand."
He embraced me, his emotions slightly suppressed." I'll handle Serena’s affairs. Also, no matter what others say, you'll always be my wife and Munchkin will always be my son. Always and forever."
I saw how serious he suddenly became and could not help but freeze a little. After a pause, I said, "Actually, I'm not that concerned about what others are saying. I'm just worried about Munchkin. The children are learning from their parents and he'll be affected when he hears those unpleasant words."
"Let's not send him to kindergarten for now." He kissed my forehead. "I promise you that no one will say a thing then."
I nodded. "I believe you."
For the next few days, Munchkin did not go to kindergarten and I stayed at home to keep him company. I was very worried that this matter would leave a psychological impact on him so I placed all of my energy into taking care of him.
Serena’s incident was suppressed completely a week later. No one would pay attention to anything for a long time. Once there was more breaking news, the public’s attention would immediately shift.
I did not care what method Theo used as long as he got this over with.
