I was surprised by the sudden kiss.
Theo only let go of me a few seconds later.
I glared at him. How could he do this in front of the child? However, the smile on his face became even more mischievous.
I turned around to glance at the bedroom door. The door was left ajar. There was no sign of Munchkin, but I reckoned that little kid must be hiding behind the door.
"What are you afraid of? We’re legally married.” Theo's words sounded plausible.
I turned around and looked at the room. I said in a soft voice, "We can’t be too intimate in front of Munchkin. He’s still young.”
"It's okay. He’ll know it sooner or later."
Theo's gaze fell on the bedroom door.
This time, when I looked at it, I saw Munchkin, who was laughing beside the door that was left ajar.
Munchkin immediately covered his eyes when he saw me looking at him. He said," Daddy, Mommy, can I come out now?”
Theo seemed to be completely fine with it, and he replied, "Come out now. Mommy's not angry anymore.”
He acted like he did not kiss me just now.
Theo called Munchkin to come over and they went to sit in front of the TV again.
"Who says I'm not angry?" I looked at the two of them and decided that I could not let them get away with it.
"Munchkin, you promised me. And you're breaking our promise. Mommy's going to punish you.” I deliberately put a stern expression on my face and looked at him.
Theo shot a glance at me and turned to look at Munchkin. It was as though he was telling Munchkin that there was no way he could help him anymore.
The little kid pouted and said, "Mommy, I'm sorry. I was so excited to be able to come home, but you were still asleep. I wanted to go out and play, but I was afraid that you'd be worried if you couldn't find me in the house when you woke up later. That's why I chose to stay at home and watch TV."
