After carrying Munchkin out of the lounge, Liz stood i n my way and spoke in English, which she was not very fluent in yet, "You clearly have your own family and son, so why are you still showing up in front of him? If it weren’t for you, I would be the happiest woman alive instead of suffering the pain of unrequited love now.”
Matthew grabbed her by the arm and said with displeasure, "Shut up and get lost."
Liz turned around to glare at him. "Now you're asking me to get lost? Who was the one who approached me first? Who was the one who promised to marry me? Have you forgotten all of it?
"You've ruined all my wonderful fantasies of love in these three years. Do you not feel the slightest guilt in your heart?"
Liz’s hysterical screams frightened Munchkin. He embraced my neck tightly. "When are we going home, Mommy?”
I patted his head to tell him that we were going home right away.
I was in no position to interfere in Matthew and Liz's relationship. Besides, I had already gotten the answers to my questions, so there was no point in staying here further.
After leaving Zimmer Corporations, I brought Munchkin to an intermediary company. The woman assigned to receive me looked to be in her 40s. She saw me holding a child in my arms alone to look for a house and sighed about how difficult life must be for me. She took me to a good house and said, "This house has been listed on the internet and many are scrambling to get it. If you like it, then I'll give it to you instead of someone else."
I looked gratefully at her. "Thank you."
The house was decided, so after signing the contract, I brought Munchkin back to the hotel.
We came out of the elevator and saw Theo standing at the door of the room. Munchkin cried out with joy," Theo!"
I put him on the floor and he ran toward Theo.
When I approached him and saw the haggard look on his face, I was slightly stunned. "What’s wrong with you?"
