"I was playing along with Munchkin just now. I'd never turn him away if he wants to cover, but if you have
other plans in mind, we'll respect your decisions too."
At the end of the day, Petra was a grown woman who knew that children would sometimes unintentionally hurt
their parents’ feelings with the things they said.
Moreover, | had pretended to be angry when Munchkin said he wanted to live with the two seniors. She probably
thought that I, his mother, was genuinely upset.
I smiled and walked forth to link my arm with Petra's. "What are you saying? How could | be angry at Munchkin?
Don't worry, Munchkin is a smart child. He won't makejealous." Petra was stunned when she heard what |
said, but she could not hold her laughter back as she looked at me.
"Oh, you children. We're getting older, and it's becoming even harder to understand you. Alright then, you make
the final call. Either way, | just want you to know that your dad and | are old now. We won't go anywhere. We
stay in this house every day, so you can cto visit whenever you have time.
"We're okay with helping to raise the child, and you can have him stay here if you want to. We'll be delighted to
have him.

And we won't have any objections if you want him to stay with you."
Petra did not force anything on me, but | could see the disappointed look in her eyes.
Our family was rarely all in Whaldorf City at the stime, so naturally, she wanted the family to be together.
However, she seemed to have taken into consideration the fact that | was not accustomed to things yet. Thus,
she did not want to forceinto anything.
"Don't worry, Mom. | understand. Also, | don't think we need to agonize over this problem because Munchkin has
his own opinions too."
"Huh?" A confused look appeared in Petra's eyes. It seemed like she had not fully understood what I said.
| explained, "I actually wanted Munchkin to study in Zenon since it's not as academically rigorous over there. |
want him to grow up happy and healthy. | don't want him becoming stressed out at such a young age."
That was something Petra knew of, and she immediately nodded in understanding when | finished my
explanation.
"However, Munchkin toldthat he wants to live with his parents, which is why he decided to study in Whaldorf
City."
"Munchkin is a mature child. I've never been worried about him. All | worry about now is you and Theo," she said
as she patted my hand.
"Grant Corporation is becoming
more and more influential, which
means it's bound to encroach on the interests of many people. You've got Munchkin now, and you're also
pregnant. I'm worried that there'll be people out there plotting to bring harm to you and your kids.
"Don't worry, Mom. Theo and | have thought about this too. Since we've decided to return, it means we don't
have to be overly worried. Besides, you and Dad are here as well aren't you?"
Old people occasionally needed to be consoled the sway one would console a child.
They had grown-up worries, but at times, all they wanted was sreassurance.
As for me, | no longer did what | used to do, which was explain every complex situation to them in detail.
"You're right. Your dad and | are here, so don't you worry. We'll help you, no matter what happens."

Sure enough, the creases between Petra's eyebrows becless pronounced after hearing that.
| nodded solemnly. Other families would usually embrace each other at this point, but all Petra and | needed
were an exchange of glances.
Theo and | took Munchkin hwith us a short while later.
The journey hwas silent, but then Munchkin abruptly said, "Mommy, I've made my decision. | want to attend
Harvest Elementary School." "Harvest Elementary School?" | repeated while quickly recalling the schools we had
visited today.
Harvest Elementary School was the school located farthest away from our hand nearest to Petra's house.
"Munchkin, that'll make the journey to and fro school difficult for you. Didn't | already explain things to you when
we were at Grandma's house?"
"Yes, Mommy, | know. But | also
asked Grandma and she said | can stay with her. If | stay at Grandma's house, then Harvest Elementary School
will be the nearest school. Won't that simplify things?
Theo also noticed that something seemed amiss and exchanged glances withbefore asking Munchkin
hesitantly," Munchkin, you aren't planning to stay with Mommy and Daddy in the future?"
