NovelBarChapter 1671
The next morning, Theo and | dropped Munchkin off at the hotel where Fred was staying.
We had made plans to have breakfast together that morning because of how excited the children were.
We originally wanted to meet up slightly later, but both kids seemed unhappy with that decision during our
discussion yesterday. It seemed that they felt that having breakfast would be a waste of their time, and they
would rather have breakfast together so they could immediately head to the park after that.
In the end, we had no choice but to comply with their wishes.
Fred was not at the hotel entrance when we arrived. He was probably accompanying Tina.
| did not feel at ease and insisted on delivering Munchkin right into Fred's arms before we left. Theo did not say
anything in reply and instead got ready to get out of the car.
It seemed he was going to ask someone else to park the car for him. | reached a hand out to stop him as | said,
"You should return to work. I'll ask Keith to pickup later. You'll have to take the long way if you only return to
Follow on NovᴇlEnglish.nᴇtwork after droppingoff."
"That's alright. There's nothing urgent to deal with today."
| leaned against the door and tilted my head to the side as | said, "You say that every tyou go to work. There
might not be anything urgent to deal with, but you have plenty of important matters to take care of."
| pouted and showed my displeasure. | had an issue with him continuously working overtfor a long tnow.
"Your focus is commendable, but you'll destroy your health if you do this every day."
| expressed my displeasure.
"Why are you worried? Are you worried I'll becincompetent?" he asked as he raised his eyebrows. |
immediately knew his mind was filled with all sorts of trashy thoughts again when | saw the look on his face.
"What?" | glared at him before turning around to look at Munchkin. Thankfully, he was staring enraptured at the
flowers in a nearby flower bed and had not overheard our conversation. That was a relief.
"Alright, you should know perfectly
well why I'm not allowing you to head upstairs. The two kids enjoy each other's company. It'll be
difficult for them to meet again
since school is starting soon. Let's allow them to enjoy themselves and not have them be affected by other
issues."
| trusted that Theo would understand what | was trying to tell him.
He sighed softly and said somewhat solemnly | know what you mean. don't want to destroy their friendship
either, but I'm sure you know perfectly well that I'm not the one
who keeps causing trouble
"I know, which is why | immediately agreed to go to work today when you askedto. You have to truston
this one," | replied as | grasped his hand, which was holding onto the steering wheel.
"I'll accompany Munchkin in and leave the minute | see Fred. You can ask Keith to cand pickup."
Another two seconds passed, and Theo finally gave in.
"Alright, but let's make this clear. It's just this once."
"Don't worry." | knew perfectly well that he was not doing this for either Fred's or my sake. He merely did not
Follow on Novᴇl-Onlinᴇ.cᴏmwant to upset the two kids before they set out on their trip.
That was especially the case for Tina. She was such a sensitive, obedient little girl. | was worried that she would
be able to see past things even at her young age.
| guessed it was also part of my desire to protect the children.
As for Fred, | had already found opportunities to explain things to him previously, but he still pretended to have
no idea what was happening. There was nothing else | could do.
For now, all I could do was hope he would one day cto his senses and stop playing the fool.
After accepting my advice, Theo drove off while | walked into the hotel with Munchkin.
The morning sun was shining in through the windows, and Munchkin decided to sit next to the window instead of
choosing a private foom. A short while later, Fred arrived at the dining hall with Tina.
