I did not remember how long we tossed around, but when I opened my eyes again, the sun was already high in the sky. There was no figure beside me.
I was startled. I turned around and sat up. After I had calmed down, I heard a subtle sound like the sound of a TV.
It was coming out of Theo’s bathroom.
I was startled.
"Are you hungry?" His tone was very gentle. His freshly washed hair was still dripping wet. His hair looked a little messy from being wiped with a towel, but it did not affect his appearance at all.
On the contrary, his facial features had become even more three-dimensional due
to the water vapor after his bath. For a time, even I was somewhat fascinated.
He stood at the end of the bed with a wicked smile on his face. He slowly approached me. "Or do you want to sleep a little longer?"
I immediately flipped the blanket open on the other side and rolled out of bed.
"I'm hungry. I'm going to prepare for lunch. " I felt my face burning just as I said this.
"I'll join you." Theo seemed very pleased with my reaction.
"I...”
Before I could speak, I heard an exclamation from the living room, and this time, I was sure that it was Munchkin’s voice.
Noticing my gaze, Theo immediately explained, "That should be Munchkin. I saw him still sleeping soundly when I went in this morning, so I didn't disturb him. I guess he's awake now."
"This little guy." I frowned.
He might fool Theo, but he could not fool me.
"You've been deceived by a child's tricks." I put on my coat when I said this, preparing to head out and catch Munchkin in the act.
The little guy had already developed a routine when he was in the hospital.
Sometimes, I would go to bed later at night and then get up later in the morning.
However, he was not affected at all.
