Early the next morning, Theo and I went out. We were afraid to keep Munchkin waiting for too long.
At the gate of the school, Munchkin came flying and jumping into Theo’s and my arms when the head teacher opened the door. "Daddy, Mommy, I missed you so much."
"He’s been good at school the past two weeks, but I could tell that he really missed you two," the head teacher said softly at the side.
I raised my gaze to look at her and smiled slightly. "Apologies for troubling you."
After bringing Munchkin to the car, I sat in the back seat with him. Munchkin's eyes never left Theo.
Looking at him, I could not help laughing. "Did you miss Daddy that much?" I asked.
He looked back at me with bright eyes. "Yes. I only saw Mommy last time. I didn’t get to see Daddy. I missed Daddy."
This little brat. Had he forgotten that we went to Grant Corporation together?
I pinched his fleshy little face and said, "We even went to the company together. Have you forgotten?"
At my reminder, the little boy finally came to his senses. He held his chin in thought. "Oh, yes. I forgot. You and Daddy told me that time that you guys were putting on an act and would be leaving me in school for the next few days. Yes, that's right."
I narrowed my eyes at him and pursed my lips. "It seems you like Daddy more. Well then, you can ask Daddy to raise you from today on."
I pretended to be angry. I wanted to observe Munchkin's reaction.
Who would have thought that Munchkin already knew what I was trying? He looked at me innocently. "What are you saying, Mommy? Of course, a child has to be brought up by both parents."
Fine then. I could not win Theo or the little one.
"You two boys, all you do is bully me." I crossed my arms around my chest and turned my head to face the window.
