Chapter 1229

Theo helplessly smiled. "We're married, so Munchkin is my son too. Why are you thanking me?”

I took a deep breath. "Ill go home immediately when the project is over and spend the rest of my life with you and Munchkin.”

Theo smiled faintly. "We'll wait for you."

In order to get me to stop crying, Theo changed the subject and asked me how things were going at work.

Thinking about the wall in the research institute, I asked Theo, "What clues have you found, Theo?"

"I don’t have any important clues at the moment. What about you?"

I pursed my lips. "The space behind the wall in the research institute is empty. How could there be echoes when you knock on an ordinary load-

bearing wall? Also, I took a look at the wall and it was at least a meter thick.”

Theo fell silent. He said, "Let Keith carry out the investigation. Just take it as though you don't know anything and handle the project as usual. Try and

complete it as scon as possible.”

I knew he was worried about my safety, so I agreed

At this moment, someone knocked on the door. Shannon must have returned.

I told Theo about it and hung up the phone to get the door.

Sure enough, it was Shannon. She was carrying a lot of things.

"I went to the city and bought a lot of delicious food. You'll surely love it.”

I smiled slightly. “What if I've eaten?”

"I know that you surely won't go have your meal in the canteen.” Shannon chuckled mischievously. “It's been so long. I've gotten to know you a bit by

now.”

She put the things on the table and looked at me. "Today. you're-”

"Wait a minute." Halfway through her sentence, she noticed something was wrong. "You cried?"

I nodded with a smile. "I spoke to my son on the phone just now. I miss him a little."

Shannon had always known that Theo and I had a son but never really asked about it.

"Show me your son's photo." She was suddenly very curious.

I took out my phone and found a photo of Munchkin.

"I want to wait until your son grows up.”

I scolded her with a smile. “Dream on."

"How old is he?"

"He's four now."

Shannon patted my shoulder. ‘Why,

did you: and Theo want to geta oo

divorce back then when you already

have such an adorable son?”

This was a long story, and it would be a lot to explain.

I looked at the food on the table and changed the subject. "You eat too much hot and spicy food.”

"Mine are all spicy, but yours are plain.”

I nodded. "Alright, then. I'll dig in.”

"Eat to your heart's content!"
