The Woman From Hell novel (Wanda and Theo) novel Chapter 821

After eating, Mason brought him back to his room and waited until he fell asleep before coming downstairs.

When he was about to leave, I looked at him and hesitated for a moment before saying, "If you're not in a hurry to leave, shall we have a chat?"

He nodded and sat back down on the sofa.

I did not plan to beat about the bush and went straight to the subject. "When Cecilia left, she hoped you would never learn about Munchkin’s existence."

As soon as I said those words, his gaze turned cold and was interspersed with pain.

"But now you know." I was much calmer than I thought. “You're Munchkin’s father, and no one can deny that. Not even... Cecilia."

He did not expect me to say that and was a little surprised. "What do you mean by that?"

"This child has no blood ties with me. Logically speaking, after Cecilia died, he should’ve been placed under your care but I raised him like my own for four years. Humans have feelings, so I hope you understand that."

After a pause, I continued, "Munchkin is fine now. In his understanding, I’m his mother, and if he separates

from me, it'll cause great pain to him."

Mason nodded, sort of agreeing with my words.

I gently sighed. "Theo is your best buddy. I don't wish t o see you two go your separate ways because of Munchkin. Therefore, I hope you’ll listen to me and it'll be even greater if you can agree."

Mason pursed his lips. "Go on.”

"I agree to let you and Munchkin reunite, but you need to wait until he reaches adulthood at 18. In these 18 years, you can meet up with him anytime. If the Lynches can take good care of him, then I'll agree to let him stay over at the Lynches' residence during holidays."

He was stunned as though he did not expect me to suddenly say this. My concession came as an even bigger surprise to him.

After a long time, he said, "Are you serious?"

I nodded. "I didn’t make this decision because of you but Theo. I don't want him to break off this many years of brotherly relationship with you. I'm making such a concession because I hope you two will go back to being how you were back then without any conflict between you."

I could not keep Munchkin by my side forever. He would grow up one day and have a life of his own. It seemed like I needed to adapt to it as soon as possible.

After sending Mason away, I went to Munchkin's bedroom.

I sat beside his bed to look at him and felt a little stuffy inside.

How great would it be if time could freeze him at this

age forever?

'My child, could you please grow up slower?'

As Theo had proposed to me at Cassey's wedding, coupled with the fact that I had a great time talking to many prominent figures at the banquet after the wedding ceremony, I was now officially a celebrity of sorts in Whaldorf City.

When Cassey called me, I was hugging Munchkin to sleep.
