The Woman From Hell

Fortunately, the weekend getaway ended with a stroll with just Theo, and that improved my mood somewhat.

When we got home that night, Caroline already had a table of delicious food ready.

"Sir, Madam, welcome back."

I glanced at Caroline before looking inside the house but did not see Munchkin. "Where's Munchkin?"

"President Klein came over to accompany him. They're putting together a puzzle in the room. I'll inform them of your return right away," said Caroline as she made her way upstairs.

I hung up my coat. Theo then passed me his own before asking, "Why did Marius come over?"

Not paying the question any heed, I responded lightly, "I was afraid Munchkin would be bored at home, so I told Marius to come over and accompany him for a bit. I didn't expect him to actually do it." "Is that so..." Theo whispered softly.

"Yeah, he got along very well with Munchkin when he was living in Drover's place during that time. I think they've become friends," I said immediately, not thinking there was anything wrong.

However, I then noticed Theo's somewhat ugly expression. "I think we should take Munchkin with us the next time we go out."

Tilting my head, I looked at Theo with a smile. "Oh? Are you jealous?"

"How could I not be when I see my child getting closer to someone else?" Theo said seriously.

The next moment, we heard hopping steps coming downstairs, followed by a loud and clear voice. "Daddy, Mommy, you're back."

Munchkin threw himself into Theo's arms as I watched them with a smile on my lips. "He's closer to you."

"You guys are finally willing to come back," came Marius' voice from not far away.

I turned to him and hurriedly thanked him. "Thank you for coming over to keep Munchkin company."

"Oh, it's nothing, Sis Wan. I enjoy playing with Munchkin too. You can call me again next time," Marius replied with a smile.

Theo's abrupt voice cut in from the side, "We wouldn't want to bother you again next time, President Klein. We'll take care of the children ourselves."

attention, and he turned to look at Theo. "It's no problem, President Grant. Sis Wan and I are so close, so I don't mind helping her take care of her, children. Besides, this isn't the

first time, isn't it, Sis Wantent

I opened my mouth, but before I could even say anything, Theo replied, "That's what Wanda was saying too. We can't keep bothering you all the time, President Klein Wanda and I will take care of our

Own children from now on."

Marius shrugged at that, the smile on his face deepening. "Judging from your tone, President Grant, it sounds like you're jealous. But I wonder if you're jealous over Sis Wan or Munchkin?" "I'm not," Theo replied instantly.

Seeing the embarrassment on

Theo's face, could not help but smile. "Alright now, let's not talk

about this anymore. I reckon you et

haven't had dinner either, yes? You can go after having dinner with us. Consider it my gratitude."

I asked Marius to stay for dinner. Although Theo's expression at the dinner table was not pretty, he held his tongue knowing that we should thank Marius.

That night, I returned to the room after tucking Munchkin in.

Theo was sitting by the bedside. He looked like he was still mad. I sat down beside him. "Are you still mad?"

"I just don't feel good."

Laughing, I said half-jokingly, "I didn't think President Grant would be bothered by something so small."

Theo straightened himself when he heard this and looked at me seriously. "Who wouldn't know what Marius' feelings for you are with how obvious he is? He treats you so well because he likes you, no?"
