"Alright, anything you say." I agreed.
I did not want to deal with these two old men at all.
After walking out of the ice cream store and saying goodbye to Fred, I held Munchkin's hand and walked aside. I deliberately kept my distance from Theo.
When I got into my car, Theo got in too.
"What about your car?" I asked coldly.
"Keith is there."
I tossed him the car keys. "You drive, then."
I hopped off the driver's seat and sat in the backseat with Munchkin.
Theo smiled and took the keys without saying a word.
Munchkin kept quiet as he looked at me suspiciously, then at Theo.
When we got home, Keith helped carry all the groceries into the house. I said I had to change my clothes as an excuse and went into my bedroom.
After half a day of dilly-dallying, I just took off my coat without changing into my home clothes.
After a while, I heard the bedroom door open slightly. I immediately turned my head around as I thought it was Munchkin. When I saw that it was Theo, I turned my back on him in anger.
"Why are you so mad? You're scaring Munchkin." Theo was gentle all of a sudden.
"It's just dinner. Even Tina is more mature than both of you." After thinking about it for a while, I added, "Even Munchkin could tell that I'm mad." "You can’t blame me. He was the one who had bad intentions in the first place." Theo was being somewhat unreasonable.
