The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 1672

"Munchkin couldn't fall asleep when he learned he would be going out to have fun. Our arrival time is already late for him."

As I spoke, I gazed at Munchkin and could not help but tease him when I saw how energetic he was despite getting up early this morning.

The little guy ignored my teasing and hurriedly pulled a chair out for Tina as he said, "Quick, Pumpkin. Sit down. We can go to the park after breakfast."

“Alright," Pumpkin replied without hesitation as she sat down.

“Enjoy your meal. I'll leave now," I said to the rest of the table as I stood.

Munchkin already knew this was coming

and thus did not seem too surprised. On the contrary, Fred and Tina stared at me confusedly. "Miss Lane, aren't you going to come with us?"

I smiled apologetically as I said, "I'm so sorry, but the company's been busy lately, and I must be present. I'm afraid I’ll have to ask you to help take care of Munchkin for me today, Fred.”

Before Tina could answer, Fred stood and said, "It's no problem at all. But why are you still working when you're pregnant?"

Fred was obviously asking that question due to personal reasons.

I smiled and said, "It's nothing important. I merely want to give the matters at the company a quick look."

Fred was not satisfied with the answer I gave him.

I knew he would not give up that easily and thus said, "Keith should be here soon. Fred, why don't you walk me to the door?"

"Alright." Fred did not say anything else before he stood up. We walked out of the restaurant together but did not dare to walk too far away. We stood within sight of the door.

We had to ensure the two children remained in our line of sight.

The minute we stopped, Fred hurriedly looked up and said, "Do you need to avoid me this way? Can’t you even accompany the two kids to the park? Or is Theo forcing you to do this? Is he even forbidding you to go out in public now?"

Fred looked like he was going insane. His hysterics made him seem different fom the person he was before this.

Fred seemed to have more questions when I finished speaking, but I turned around and walked off without giving him another chance to speak up.

I prayed that he would not run after me. My current condition meant I could not walk away fast, and the situation would become even more difficult to deal with if he ran after me to ask more questions.

Thankfully, he did not catch up to me when I arrived at the elevators.

I heaved a sigh of relief and headed downstairs so I could get into Keith's car and leave.

There was nothing for me to worry about when I handed Munchkin over to Fred.

Now, I hoped he could get things figured out.

"Madam, is there anywhere else you need to go? If there isn’t, Sir has instructed me to take you straight home."

I could not hold my laughter in. Theo had made a whole speech about wanting me to help out in the office before this, but now, he wanted to send me home.
