Theo nodded as a reply.
"Munchkin, Tina, it's getting late. You guys should be preparing to get to bed,” I reminded them.
Fred walked in at this point as well.
Hearing me, Munchkin got up somewhat reluctantly. "Mom, can we invite Pumpkin to our house tonight?"
I glanced at Theo with some embarrassment, asking for his opinion.
It would be a simple matter for the child to spend the night in our place, and we had an extra room as well. However, the question was, what about Fred?
I saw that Theo was still smiling but was not saying anything, so I understood what
he meant.
I stepped forward and took the initiative to say, "Munchkin, Tina and Uncle have booked a room in the hotel. We can't invite them over on such short notice like this without informing them in advance. It's not polite."
Although society did not have so many dead-set rules now, this was the only excuse I could come up with at this time.
"It's okay, Munchkin. We'll visit your house another day. Dad and I got on a plane
today. It was quite tiring, so we'll rest at the hotel."
Thank goodness, Pumpkin was so understanding and helped me save so much trouble.
"Okay then." Munchkin bowed his head, looking a little disappointed.
"It’s okay, Munchkin. We're going to the dinosaur theme park early tomorrow morning. We'll see each other again then."
"Yeah, you're right!"
"Then you have to rest early tonight." At the mention of the dinosaur park, Munchkin immediately became energetic again.
"I'll see you tomorrow, then." Munchkin waved goodbye with his little hand.
"See you tomorrow, Munchkin. Goodbye, Uncle and Auntie," Tina politely spoke to us.
Usually when I want to go to the company, Theo would try to prevent me from going. Today, he took the initiative to invite me to the company.
We both knew that no matter what the situation was, I could not do anything useful even if I went to the office.
I saw Theo unconsciously roll his eyes.
"Not to my place, but to Cindy's. I need her to jump-start the selection for the right candidate as soon as possible so we can work out a special security plan for them."
He stepped forward and got more and more
serious as he pulled out the clothes for me to change into.
"Since it's artificial intelligence, I can't make it be like a rigid robot, so I can only provide personalized service when she has the right person picked out. I’ll have to trouble you with a trip to the office tomorrow."
He said and told me to go into the bathroom quickly, as if urging me to hurry up so that I could rest afterward. It was just so I could work the next day.
"Okay." I was dumbfounded as I walked into the bathroom. When I turned around, what I saw was the involuntary look on Theo's face. I had to admit that he was still so cute when he was jealous.
