Chapter 1786
The next day, the cake was gone when | woke up. When | opened the door, | realized that it had been moved to
the door. Just how annoying was Theo?
I sighed. Thinking that | could not let Nicky see it, | crouched down and took it downstairs for Caroline to clean
up.
Today, | was almost done with breakfast when | saw Nicky coming downstairs. "Why so late?"
Nicky cto the table with a yawn and a sleepy expression. "lI was on the phone with my mother till late
yesterday and almost couldn't get up." "Quickly have breakfast."
She talked about her pain last night as she chewed on her bread. "My mother is too long-winded. | haven't been
able to stand her nagging since | was a child. Regardless of her objection, | moved out and went to live by myself
when | grew up. | only occasionally go home."
Listening to Nicky's complaints, | was envious. "My mother also nags, but unfortunately, | can't hear them
anymore."

Hearing this, she was a little puzzled. She must know sinformation about me. "Wanda, isn't your
mother..."
"I mean my adoptive mother. She's gone."
It was said that the grace that cwith nurturing was great, but unfortunately, she could not stay long enough
to enjoy the happiness. She left just like that.
"Ah sorry, | shouldn't have mentioned it."
| smiled and waved my hands. "It's nothing. It's all in the past. | moved on a long tago."
"That's good."
It looked like everything was back on its original track after the film festival. Everyone's work was not as urgent
as before.
| tallied my data as usual.
A familiar ringtone sounded, but when | saw the caller ID, | was a little stunned.
It was Fred.
He probably heard that Theo was going to participate in Drover Night, so he cto askabout it.
Taking a deep breath, | tried my best to keep myself calm before picking up the phone. "Hello."
My distant tone obviously stopped Fred in his tracks. Even though he tried his best to hide it, | could hear it from
his unpleasant tone.
"Wanda... when did we becso unfamiliar with one another?" His voice was one of loss.
I had no intention of reminiscing over the phone. After all, our last meeting had been so unpleasant. " Mr. Cullen,
do you need something?"
| heard him sigh obviously, but he
also did not say anything else and just cut straight to the point. "I heard that Theo will participate in Drover Night
How about you? Will you ctoo? W-We miss you very much."
His voice made my heart tremble. | did not know if I would be able to be as familiar as | was when | see Fred

I hesitated until Fred mentioned
Tina. "Tina talks about Munchkin every day. It's been too long since we last met. The children must miss each
other very much."
Indeed, Munchkin had mentioned her the last the cback.
The grievances between adults should not involve the children.
In the end, | sighed. "Well, if it's all right, I'll go with Theo."
| felt sad at their mention and did not respond for a long time.
Fred probably did not want to drag this stalemate out as he said, "That's all. I'll hang up now. I look forward to
seeing you." Then, he hung up. There was the occupied line sound of 'beep beep’ in the receiver, and | pressed
the button to turn off the phone screen.
| actually felt a little complicated after the call. | really wanted to see Tina and my partner, but Fred was
someone | did not want to see...
