After taking Munchkin back to the villa, he fell asleep after eating some dinner. It might be because he was tired today.
I went downstairs and caught a glimpse of Theo who was still in the living room.
It just so happened that I had something to ask him, so I stepped forward and patted his shoulder. He raised his head from being deep in thought, "Is Munchkin asleep?"
"Yes, he's probably tired from playing." I nodded and sat down beside Theo.
He tilted his head to look at me, eyes filled with distress. He reached out and brushed the loose hair beside me aside and said in a gentle voice, "You're also tired from today. Go rest early."
I was quite tired, physically and mentally.
I closed my eyes and leaned my head against his palm. After feeling the warmth of his hand, I smiled. Having him around was the best.
When I opened my eyes, I stared at Theo and gave voice to my doubts, hoping that he could give his analysis on it. "Do you think it's Queenie?”
Hearing my question, the corners of Theo's lips lifted up inexplicably. "Didn't you already see that she was the one who took Munchkin away?"
"No, I mean, could she also be following orders?"
I had always felt that there was someone behind Queenie. I had already talked to Queenie about the matter of her painting threatening messages on the door, so why did she still take Munchkin away, saying that it was just to find out about his importance to me? It was ridiculous.
Unless she had a plan for the next step.
Even so, I felt like something was wrong.
Theo's eyes caught my troubled appearance fully. I looked up lightly.
Thinking of this, I smiled and looked at Theo. "Let me ask you something. I want to go to sleep with Munchkin tonight. Is that alright?"
Theo's smiling face immediately froze as he said seriously, "Then what should I do?"
"You'll sleep alone. You're an adult."
"No, you have to sleep with me."
"I'm going to sleep with Munchkin. You also said that he rarely gets free time, so I want to spend more time with him." Knowing that Theo could be persuaded with reason and not cowed by force, I pulled on his sleeve. "Just one night, alright?" I deliberately softened my tone.
Seeing me like this, Theo nodded. "Alright, but you have to express it." He pointed to his cheek.
I smiled and left a kiss on his cheek...
