"Of course, don't you believe what I tell you?"
He pondered for a bit and immediately smiled.
It was said that a child's expression changed as fast as the weather did in June. There were still tears visibly hanging from the corners of his eyes and shiny snot bubbles at the tip of his nose, yet his mouth had split into an uncontrollable smile at this moment.
I took out a tissue and helped clean him up. Munchkin's red nose tip was very adorable.
"Mommy, that’s even more reason we should get this suit. When Daddy is done with his work, we’ll give it to him as a surprise."
"Alright." My answer was firmer this time.
This was because I had gotten a sure answer from my heart while I was consoling Munchkin just now.
I did not want to leave Theo.
Although the things that had happened were quite incomprehensible, I should give him a chance to explain.
Walking into the clothing store, I had thought of immediately buying the clothes and then taking them away. However, Munchkin insisted that I try on the dress for him first.
Helpless, I grabbed the dress and entered the changing room.
Before I went in, I told the staff repeatedly to help me look after my child. Munchkin even thought I was being a little naggy when he heard me.
"Munchkin, I’m done changing."
"Munchkin has a good eye. He knows at such a young age that beautiful clothes fit beautiful people."
I was startled. Munchkin's hot milk was still on the table in the waiting area, but he had disappeared. Instead, Alex sat in his place.
I looked around. I did not know whose orders the shop assistants had listened to, but they had all dispersed and returned to their usual work. No one paid any attention to me at all.
"Miss Lane, there’s no need to panic. Ronny took Munchkin to the children's park next door. Don't worry, he won't be taken away again."
It was that hateful smile again.
I could not smile at all, so I went to pack up my things and prepared to leave.
