The Woman From Hell

To prevent Munchkin from witnessing the strange situation between Theo and me, I asked him to stay in school this weekend with the excuse that we were both on a business trip and could not take care of him.

He could only compromise whether he liked it or not.

Hanging up the phone, I sighed.

I still had not figured out how to tell Munchkin about this for the time being and could only hide it for a while.

Having probably overheard my conversation with Munchkin, Marius slumped on the sofa in the living room before opening his eyes to look at me. "You can only hide it for a while more, but for the rest of your life? Do you want Munchkin to spend every week in school?"

I also went over and took a seat while shaking my head helplessly. "If I can hide it for even a day more, I'll take it. I'm still thinking about how to tell him."

It was early morning, but Marius did not have an ounce of energy. His eyelids would droop from time to time.

My eyes were fixed on him, and I was a little puzzled. "You're so sluggish. Did you have a good time last night?"

He had closed his eyes and was resting. He did not open them to look at me. He reached out to me with his long arm and snapped his fingers in front of me. "That's right."

"You don't have much to do anyway, so why don't you sleep more?"

This was the advantage of being self-employed. As long as the company developed steadily, the boss could do whatever they wanted. I suddenly got the idea of starting a company of my own.

I was the one who took care of it.
