Theo gently sighed and did not insist anymore.
He knew better than anyone that if I forced myself to overeat when I did not have an appetite, my stomach would get extremely uncomfortable and I would end u p vomiting.
Theo carried me back to the room and lay on the bed a s well. He held me tightly in his arms. "Have a good sleep."
"Okay."
Time was silent as we embraced each other, sensing the warmth of each other's bodies.
Unsure after how long, I was struck by a wave of drowsiness and fell asleep while in a daze. I could vaguely hear Theo whispering in my ears, "I’m sorry, Wanda.”
Why was he apologizing to me?
What was he sorry about?
I wanted to open my eyes to talk to him but I was just too tired to do so. I eventually fell into a deep sleep.
I slept until the next morning.
When I went downstairs and saw Munchkin playing with Snowy, my face broke into a smile.
It seemed as though all hardships were nothing when Munchkin was around.
"Mommy!" Munchkin came rushing toward me.
I held him and said with a smile, "Don't run so fast next time. I'll be sad if you fall."
Munchkin responded with a smile, "Roger that!"
Keith walked over. "Mr. Grant is having a video conference in the study, Mrs. Grant. Why don't you have your breakfast first?"
I nodded. "Okay."
After eating breakfast, Keith told me that Tyler was here. I was surprised.
He bought a lot of things, most of which were for Munchkin.
Seeing the sullen look on my face, he went straight to the point. "Come back to the Schumans’."
