He could not let Munchkin go, and his face was filled with sadness. His voice was choking with sobs. "You must send me a text after you settle down. Xander and I will go over and visit you."
I nodded.
Xander put one hand in his pocket, his gaze deep and profound. After a very long time, he said, "Take care!"
I smiled slightly. "Take care!"
After entering the first-class cabin, the air stewardess brought me a baby pillow and set up an infant seat beside me.
Perhaps it was because this was Munchkin's first time taking a plane, he was extremely excited and did not sleep throughout the four-hour duration.
He looked very adorable, hence the air stewardess would come over from time to time to play with him. H e only fell asleep while lying on my body when we arrived and disembarked at Whaldorf City.
When we walked out of the airport, I planned to hail a cab to the hotel. I had just left the terminal when Tyler called me.
I did not answer it and switched off my phone, ready t o hail a cab.
When I was waiting for a ride, a black Bentley pulled u p in front of me and rolled down the window.
After not meeting for a few days, Tyler seemed to have lost weight. His facial features looked even more prominent now.
"It's hard to get a ride from the airport. It’ll be rush hour soon and Whaldorf City's traffic is horrible. Get i n," he said with a deep gaze.
I pursed my lips and glanced at the cab coming up not far behind him. I walked directly to the cab, ignoring him.
After getting in the cab, I reported the hotel’s address. Seeing that I was with a child, the cab driver asked kindly, "Are you in Whaldorf City to visit your family?"
I shook my head. Munchkin was sleeping very soundly. I lowered my voice and replied, "I have things to handle here."
The driver revved up the car engine and said with a smile, "Is it work-related?"
I nodded. "Mm!"
"My daughter is almost the same age as you. It's not easy for young people nowadays. This baby is still so young and you're already taking him to work with you. It must be hard for you."
The driver sighed. As he said that, he looked at the rearview mirror and frowned, saying, "What's with the Bentley behind us? He's been following us since the moment we left the airport. Do you know him?”
