Munchkin came back during the weekend.
The moment he got home and saw Nicky in the living room, he paused. "It's the lady who saved me last time."
I touched his little head and nodded, saying, "Yeah, shouldn't you say thank you to the lady, Munchkin?"
He agreed heavily and then trotted forward the entire way. "Auntie, thank you for saving me last time. You got the injury on your face from that time, didn't you? It must be very painful."
Nicky looked down at Munchkin. She then crouched down and said softly, "You're welcome Munchkin. This little injury is nothing. Your mother is also letting me live here now. TH go back after my wound is healed.
"That couldn't be better," Munchkin said in the tone of a little adult.
Since Munchkin came back, Caroline cooked a lot of his favorite dishes. Munchkin's eyes lit up.
"Caroline, if you continue to feed him like this, Munchkin will become fat." I covered my mouth and chuckled.
Munchkin looked at me seriously." Mommy, I'll exercise and won't gain weight. You see, I'm as handsome as Daddy now."
Yes, although he was not as cold as Theo, he was as warm as Mason once.
I hoped he stayed warm like this.
Theo also fed Munchkin a lot of the food." Yes, eat more."
However, the happy atmosphere did not last long. A sharp and piercing voice broke the warmth at this moment. Hattie walked in and saw that we were having a meal happily. "I came at quite great timing. I haven't had lunch yet. Let me eat with you."
As she said that, she arranged a place for herself next to Nicky with not a trace of cordiality.
As soon as Hattie came, the atmosphere at the entire dining table changed.
"Mommy, who is she?" Munchkin pointed at Hattie innocently.
