The Woman From Hell

Chapter 1630



There was a heavy atmosphere in the car after that. I held Munchkin in my arms and answered him with patience, "Munchkin, Daddy has some work to do there. He'll come back to accompany us after he finishes his work, okay?"

The little guy lowered his head without saying a word.

"Munchkin, I know you miss Daddy, but there are too many things to handle in the company now. Daddy was worried that you'd be mad at him and you'd blame him for not keeping you company in France. But I promise you that Daddy has tried his best. He told me that he won't do it again next time," I explained to him.

There was dead silence in the car for a few seconds after that. No one spoke.

I could sense that there was a trace of panic in Theo's eyes. When he was about to say something, Munchkin broke the silence, "Mommy, I'm not mad. I just think that it must be tiring for Daddy."

Theo and I let out a sigh of relief when we heard that.

"My holidays are almost over, but Daddy has hardly gotten any rest. He's working in the office every day. There are always documents for him to handle. I can see he's exhausted when he comes back home every day. He doesn't have to spend so much with me. It's okay if we don't go to France."

What he said struck a chord with me. I could not help but suppress my emotions and hold back my tears.

"Good boy." I hugged him. Theo, who was in front of the car, was moved by his words too.

"You're a good boy, Munchkin. I'll accompany you once I finish my work. Don't worry. I'm not working this hard for money. It's to fulfill my values in life. You'll understand this when you grow older."

"Fulfill your values in life?" The little guy repeated Theo's words, but it seemed like he could not understand what they meant.
