"Yes, that's right. I'll begin school soon, and Daddy said this is my last holiday before I begin attending primary school.”
Shannon giggled when she heard that.
I did not know where Munchkin had picked that up from, but it was a great way to divert Shannon's attention.
Munchkin returned to me when he finished talking. "Mommy, the strawberry jelly I made is done. Why don't you come and try it?"
The little guy seemed extremely excited as if there was a massive surprise waiting for me.
His little legs had not stayed still on the floor the entire time he stood in front of me. He had been bouncing first on one leg and then the other.
"Quick, Mommy, let's go."
I glanced at Shannon and then at Munchkin’s legs, trying to indicate to her that the child was extremely impatient.
The more he bounced, the less in a hurry I was. "Oh, is that so? When did you make the jelly? I didn't know about that."
Munchkin frowned slightly. I could tell he did not feel like explaining, but he did not ignore my queries and replied patiently," The butler taught me after you left. We didn't use jelly powder to make the jelly and instead used a type of flower. We put the flower in water and kneaded it over and over again until it became edible jelly. Mommy, hurry and take a look."
When the little guy began urging me on again, I had no choice but to stand up.
"I’ll get going first and meet up with you again in a while?” I said somewhat awkwardly as I glanced at Munchkin.
"No worries, go ahead. Now that I know you’re here too, I can invite you to hang out together. I won't have to be alone all the time.”
A chilly expression appeared on my face while Shannon was not paying attention to me.
If that was the case, that meant that Jordan had been busy with issues concerning mecha since arriving in France.
However, even Shannon knew perfectly well that Jordan had never been involved in such projects before this. His sudden interest in mecha was probably because of Theo.
Shannon had mentioned that she had been on her own since arriving in France, which meant that Jordan had been preoccupied with work all this while.
He was already so busy despite being introduced to the industry so suddenly.
