Theo nodded and replied, "I wanted you to take a rest before coming here. That’s why I asked Caroline to come too."
"Why isn't she in the house?” I looked around the house.
We had been standing in the living room for some time. Normally, Caroline should be here by now, but there were no other noises in the house. Caroline was too quiet.
"She’s downstairs.”
Theo explained, "I noticed that there was an empty room downstairs when we came here. I bought it and arranged for Caroline to stay there for the time being. It'll be easier for her to take care of us. Otherwise, this house would be way too small for us." He looked around my duplex apartment with a disdainful look on his face.
I frowned slightly. Normally, a house with two bedrooms and a living area would be able to fit a family of three. However, Theo was now complaining about staying in a 2,000 square feet duplex apartment.
However, compared to the villa, the apartment was considered small. It was more convenient for Caroline to live downstairs.
“Daddy, you're awesome!" Munchkin could not be bothered about this. He was only happy knowing that lunch had been prepared. He gave Theo a thumbs-up hand gesture.
Theo lifted his hand and stroked his head. Then, he said, "Okay. Get changed. After we finish our lunch and clean up, we’ll depart to SeaWorld."
"Okay!" The little kid leaped then turned around and ran toward his room.
"Slow down. Your wound isn't fully healed yet." I reminded him. However, that little kid ignored what I said. I smiled helplessly.
Theo held my hand and said, "Don't worry. The doctor has checked on Munchkin. He's fine now."
I tilted my head and looked at Theo. I could not figure out the man in front of me anymore.
"What happened when I was asleep? I woke up and you have everything already planned."
