Chapter 596

I shook my head. "Jerome and Xander are bringing Munchkin over in a while. Tyler, Carlson, and

Yvonne are also coming over."

He nodded, and seeing how slow I was cutting the vegetables, he took my wrist. "Why don't I do it?"

I nodded and looked at him. "Are you complaining?"

He burst out laughing. "I guess you can say so."

How dare he admit it?!

He took the knife from my hand. "If you want to help m e out, then help me out. Or you can just go

sit down on the sofa in the living room and have some desserts while you watch TV."

I rolled my eyes. "You’re complaining about me yet you want me to be your helper?"

I turned around and left the kitchen after saying that.

I went upstairs to get changed and went to the living room to watch TV after coming downstairs.

Theo came in with a bowl of oats in his hands. "Have some oats to fill your tummy first."

I felt a little hungry when I smelled the fragrance of the oats.

I took the bowl and spoon. I was in no hurry to eat it. After looking at it for a while, I looked at him

and said, "Did Grandma teach you how to cook when you were young?"

He shrugged. "There’s nothing boys in the Grants can't do."

I sneered. "Conceiving a child too?"

"Drink up." Theo pressed my head. "You always have a lot to say when you eat."

I smiled and said no more.

Theo put his arm around my shoulder and said blandly, "Let’s take Munchkin back to Whaldorf City

at the beginning of spring."

When work began again after New Year's, Theo would have to go back to Whaldorf City to work but

I did not want to go back so soon.

I pursed my lips. "Munchkin is still young. I want to stay here in Salt City with him for a period of

time."

He frowned. "Why don’t you want to go back to Whaldorf City?"

I sighed softly. "It's not that I don't want to."

"I don't need excuses," he said, his countenance mild and indifferent. "I’ll investigate what happened

at the hotel. I'll not let the same thing happen again. I don't have direct evidence against Quinn and

Cindy right now, but Quinn is detained because she was involved.

Wanda, life continues. Avoiding it isn't going to work."

I frowned. I knew these things. "I know, I just-"

"Follow my arrangements then."

Since he disagreed, I could only tell him the truth.

"I want to take Munchkin back to the old house!" I said, looking at him.

"With who?" He put down the cutleries, his expression cold and indifferent.

"Tyler."

He pursed his lips, looking somewhat displeased. " When was this decided?"

"Before New Year’s." I did not know that Cecilia had passed away at the time.

"Were you not planning on telling me this?" He was a little angry.

My head was hurting a little. I massaged my glabella and said a little impatiently, "Don't you already

know now?"

I put down the cutleries and got up, no longer having the appetite to eat anything. I went upstairs

and headed straight for the study.

Various activities would be held after New Year's. There were still a bunch of artists in Magnificent

waiting for me to make arrangements. I needed to draft up a plan as soon as possible but I simply

did not have the energy to do so at the moment. Coupled with my lack of sleep, my headache was

unbearable.

Theo appeared at the door of the study, quietly looking at me while leaning on the doorframe. His

gaze was mild and indifferent. It was hard to tell if he was still angry.
