I shook my head. "Jerome and Xander are bringing Munchkin over in a while. Tyler, Carlson, and Yvonne are also coming over."
He nodded, and seeing how slow I was cutting the vegetables, he took my wrist. "Why don't I do it?"
I nodded and looked at him. "Are you complaining?"
He burst out laughing. "I guess you can say so."
How dare he admit it?!
He took the knife from my hand. "If you want to help m e out, then help me out. Or you can just go sit down on the sofa in the living room and have some desserts while you watch TV."
I rolled my eyes. "You’re complaining about me yet you want me to be your helper?"
I turned around and left the kitchen after saying that.
I went upstairs to get changed and went to the living room to watch TV after coming downstairs.
Theo came in with a bowl of oats in his hands. "Have some oats to fill your tummy first."
I felt a little hungry when I smelled the fragrance of the oats.
I took the bowl and spoon. I was in no hurry to eat it. After looking at it for a while, I looked at him and said, "Did Grandma teach you how to cook when you were young?"
He shrugged. "There’s nothing boys in the Grants can't do."
I sneered. "Conceiving a child too?"
"Drink up." Theo pressed my head. "You always have a lot to say when you eat."
I smiled and said no more.
Theo put his arm around my shoulder and said blandly, "Let’s take Munchkin back to Whaldorf City at the beginning of spring."
When work began again after New Year's, Theo would have to go back to Whaldorf City to work but I did not want to go back so soon.
