The heavy snow last night was enough to build a snowman.
I had previously envisioned a scene of Theo and me building snowmen with Munchkin. I was hoping that this scene I envisioned would one day come true because that would surely be the happiest thing ever.
Therefore, I immediately agreed when Quinn proposed to build a snowman.
Many years after I returned to Salt City, I stopped seeing snow. Hence, I often found myself looking forward to late winters where we could one day build a snowman as a family.
Not long after the National Day holiday, Grant Corporation was back in operation and Theo was back to his busy work schedule.
As he did not allow me to bring up Matthew, it felt like I never even knew him after some time passed.
When spring came, the wilted trees in Whaldorf City began sprouting new buds after the constant drizzles. Even the cherry trees in the yard were in full bloom.
Therefore, during the holidays in April, I went to the kindergarten and applied for two more days off for Munchkin because I planned to bring him back to Salt
City.
Theo needed to handle company matters and had no time to accompany me, but he was also worried about me taking Munchkin back to Salt City by myself. Hence, he assigned Keith to go with us.
When we arrived at the airport to pick up our flight tickets, Cassey called me.
Cassey was eating and chewing the food in her mouth when she asked, "When are you coming back?"
I responded with a smile. "I'll be there for five days."
The purpose of our trip back this time was to visit the deceased, and at the same time, I would take Munchkin on a vacation in Salt City for a few days.
She complained on the other end of the phone, "You must come back quickly. I'm due soon. You'd better not miss out on the birth of my baby."
I looked up and saw Keith coming back with the things he had just bought. I said with a smile, "Okay, I'll come back when you deliver. Talk to you again. I'm boarding my flight now.”
"Okay."
After hanging up the phone, Keith took out a bottle of yogurt from the bag and unscrewed the cap before giving it to Munchkin. He then looked at me and said," it's time to go to the boarding gate, Mrs. Grant."
I nodded. "Hold Munchkin."
When we got on the plane, Keith sent Theo a text to give him an update. He then asked the flight attendant for blankets before passing them to Munchkin and me. "Why don’t you take a nap first, Mrs. Grant and Munchkin?"
I looked at him and suddenly felt like teasing him. " Keith, does your wife know that you’re going to Salt City with me?"
Keith frowned. "She knows I’m going with Mrs. Grant and Munchkin."
I raised my eyebrows. "Is there a difference?"
Keith pursed his lips. "Get some rest, Mrs. Grant."
After saying that, he covered Munchkin with a blanket and adjusted him to a comfortable position. He then went to sit down in his own seat.
I looked at him and smiled. I was surprised that this rough man was actually quite good at taking care of others.
I must meet his wife if I had the chance so I could see what this reticent man was like in front of his wife.
I fell asleep not long after the plane took off and woke up in a good mood. I had been sleeping well lately and had a good appetite too.
After getting off the plane, Keith sent Munchkin and m e back to Regal Villa directly.
Meeting Miss Woods after so long brought tears to my eyes. I lamented at how fast time had passed.
When she saw me, she could not help but cry. "Mr. Grant said that you were coming back. He was worried that the new caretakers won’t be able to take care of you well, so he asked me to come over and take care of you for a few days."
