The Woman From Hell

The next day, Munchkin could not help but step forward when he saw Delia. "Good morning, Aunt Delia."

Delia was taken aback for a moment before she smiled. "Good morning."

"You can call me Munchkin, Aunt."

I took in their interaction. Munchkin had never taken initiative with strangers, so I did not expect him to go forward to chat with Delia this time.

Stepping forward, I smiled. "I'm sorry, did Munchkin bother you?"

The woman shook her head, eyes filled with love. "No, Munchkin is a very cute and sensible boy. You must be very happy to have such a son by your side, Wanda." When Delia turned to me, there seemed to be a hint of envy in the smile on her pretty face. "Let's have dinner together tonight. Munchkin likes you a lot."

"Alright."

"Munchkin, let's not disturb Aunt anymore, okay?" I held up Munchkin's hand.

He looked a bit reluctant but also knew that Delia was working, so he did not refuse. "Okay."

I pulled him to the side. Then, I crouched down and looked at him. "Munchkin, I know Aunt Delia looks like your mommy. That's why you like her so much, yes?"
