When Munchkin heard what he said, his eyes immediately lit up. "Really?"
Mason nodded and said with a smile, "Really."
After the affirmation, Munchkin started bouncing around in joy and ran up to Mason. He showered Mason with praises.
I lamented a little about how insignificant hundreds o f thousands of dollars were in the eyes of the rich.
"Mason..." I could not help but say, "He’s a boy. You can't spoil him like that."
Mason frowned. "We’re not poor, and since we're well-t o-do, we should give our children the best. Besides, I'm earning so much money. If I don't spend it on the child, what's the point of earning so much money?"
It was precisely this way of thinking that would spoil a child!
I was about to retort when Theo pulled me to one side. "That's fine. Mason won't be around Munchkin all the time. Don't argue with him anymore. It's not appropriate for the child to listen either."
I glared at him. "I think you just agree with his point."
Theo raised his hand and blinked at me. "I swear I do
not."
I did not want to talk to him anymore and turned around to go to the dining room.
Mason planned to leave with Munchkin after eating breakfast.
I handed Munchkin’s luggage to Mason. He reached out and took it, saying, "Don't worry, I'll take good care of him."
I nodded, never doubting his kindness toward Munchkin.
That was his son, after all. He would surely cherish him dearly.
