Astral Park.
Theo and I rushed to the designated location. I saw Munchkin and Queenie playing happily with the amusement facilities in the park.
Although my heart eased at this scene, I was even more curious about Queenie's intentions.
Walking forward, I shouted, "Munchkin, come here."
Munchkin was having a good time, so when he saw me, his little face became even brighter. "Mommy."
He ran toward me happily and threw himself into my arms.
Touching his head, I felt like I had regained a treasure and could not help but hold onto Munchkin tighter as if I wanted to become part of me. "Ah, Mommy, I can't breathe."
After letting go of him, the gentleness in my gaze was replaced by reproach. "Why didn’t you wait for me?"
"Aunt has a photo with you. She also said that she's a friend of yours and that she works at Grant Corporation. She brought me to the park to wait for you. I missed you so much, so I went with her."
Hearing this, I was both happy and angry. I was happy that Munchkin missed me and I was angry that he left with a stranger so easily.
Nothing happened this time, but if it had...
I was speechless for a moment.
I saw Queenie walking toward me, and I took a step forward while putting
Munchkin behind me. I stood up straight and looked at her directly, "Queenie, why did you take Munchkin away? What's your purpose?!"
She rolled her eyes and smiled slowly. "I wanted to see how important the child was to you."
I did not understand what she meant, and my brows furrowed tightly. I clenched my fists as my every word carried weight." Queenie, no matter how I offended you, the child is innocent. If you dare hurt a hair on Munchkin, I'll never let you go."
"I know, but I don't care anymore. If I don't have a job. I’ll starve to death since I don't have money to eat. So why don’t I just go out with a bang? Don’t you think, Mrs.
Grant?"
She had really gone crazy.
Fine then, it seemed that this was something I had to accept.
"I'll look into it, but please, Ms. Sanders, stay home and wait for my news. I'm serious this time."
Queenie nodded and smiled, "Okay, I'm also serious this time too."
For some reason, I kept finding it strange when I looked at her smile.
