Was it really necessary to keep this a mystery?
Cassey was here to discuss business matters with Theo. After the driver brought Munchkin over, I planned to take him home.
After leaving Grant Corporation’s building, we bumped into Mason getting out of the car.
I did not want to see him at all and planned to take Munchkin away before he saw me. Though unfortunately, he still saw me in the end. "Wanda!"
I helplessly turned around.
He trotted over to me and looked at Munchkin for a few seconds before looking at me. He asked, "Are you fetching him home? I can drive you."
"No thanks, I drove here."
I had no good feelings left for him after Cecilia's death. It would be great if we could just remain acquaintances who nodded at each other for the rest o f our lives.
He pursed his lips. "Let’s have a meal together, then."
Seeing him looking at Munchkin, I knew what he meant by that.
Honestly, I was reluctant to, but there was no denying
that he was Munchkin's father. If all he wanted was a meal, then I should not refuse.
After a long silence, I said, "Just this once."
He seemed surprised that I agreed and let out a smile.
After getting into Mason’s car, Munchkin poked his arm with his fingertip. I saw Mason's body stiffen up clearly.
"What is it?" He turned around to look at Munchkin, his voice trembling a little.
Munchkin pointed at the toy car hanging on the rearview mirror. "Mister, can I please play with that toy?"
"Munchkin!" My expression sank.
Mason took the toy down and handed it to Munchkin. " It's yours now."
