Munchkin had really fallen in love with breast milk. H e stopped mumbling and drank the milk happily. He waved his little fists in the air while feeding. He looked incredibly adorable.
"Wanda, you’re really too thin. No other women are as thin as you are after giving birth. President Grant doesn't have much time to look after you since he’s usually busy with work. It won't do if you don't take good care of yourself. Xander told me that you guys would be spending New Year's together. You guys should come over to my place. I have a nutritionist at home. Why don't you spend New Year's nourishing your body and improving your health?"
I frowned. "Thank you for your kind intentions, Petra. However, we aren’t that close. It’d be inappropriate for us to go over to your place for New Year's."
I spoke to her in a cold and distant tone.
Her expression stiffened. "Wanda, do you still hate me for what happened in the past?"
After a momentary pause, she continued speaking, "I really know my mistakes now. I apologize for everything that I did to hurt you in the past. I've received my punishment now. Your child is alright as well. Can you just forgive me? In the future, let's get
along well just like how we did back when we just knew each other."
I found her words were extremely funny. "Petra, anything can be reclaimed after being lost except for lives. Please don't say such words to me ever again in the future. You're acting like a joke right now."
I felt satisfied when I noticed how her face instantly paled. "You should give me some privacy while I'm breastfeeding my child, Petra. This is basic courtesy."
She took one step forward and opened her mouth as if she wanted to say something. However, she noticed the icy expression on my face as I continued remaining silent. She then turned around and left the room after being quietly rooted to the spot for half a minute.
The anger within me dissipated slightly when I lowered my head to glance at Munchkin. "I'll ask you t o remember her face when you get a little older. I'll ask you to distance yourself from her if you see her."
Just then, the door of the room suddenly opened. I turned around in shock at once.
"Wanda Lane, why do you love snatching things from me so much?"
I turned around to look at Cindy when I heard her voice. "Miss Reed, did nobody ever teach you how to knock before entering a room?"
