Why don't you have dinner at my place and also visit Munchkin while you're here?" He smiled. "I thought you would leaveat the restaurant and ignore me. Since you've asked, I must go." I smiled. "My place is quite shabby. I hope you won't dislike it too much." That was not something he wanted to hear. He frowned as he said, "What are you talking about? You're one of the Schuman family's daughters. How could a father dislike anything about his daughter?" I chuckled and did not say anything else.

Munchkin stood beside him and gazed up at Carlson." I've seen you on my mom's phone before." Both Carlson and I were stunned. "Oh, so that means you know who I am?" Munchkin nodded. "You catch bad guys." I would watch the news after dinner, and Munchkin would sometimes join me. He had seen photos of Carlson on my phone before. Despite not understanding what the news was talking about, he had a vivid impression of Carlson. Thus, as tpassed, he remembered who he was.
I took Munchkin's hand and said, "Munchkin, don't be rude. This is your grandfather." Munchkin was startled. Then, he smiled and said, "My grandfather is so cool. Grandpa, can you helpcatch bad guys since you're so cool?" Carlson smiled at Munchkin as he bent down and asked, "Who do you wantto catch, Munchkin?" Munchkin thought about it for a while before saying," The nasty person in Mr. Cullen's shop. She always scolds my mom and says that I'm a bastard child." I was worried about leaving him at halone, so I often brought him to the restaurant after picking him up from his kindergarten. Sometimes, we would meet Fiona when she cby to look for Fred. That woman had the meanest tongue, and she would even speak rudely to a child.
I thought that Munchkin would not remember that incident. However, it seemed that I had underestimated how petty he could be.
"Munchkin." I sighed softly. "Grandpa is here to have dinner today, not to work. We'll talk about catching bad guys next time. I have a mission for you. Can you and Tina bring Grandpa to the garden to pick out stuff he likes to eat and bring them back?" Munchkin nodded. "Of course!" He paused momentarily and then seemed to remember something as he tugged on Carlson's arm while saying, "Grandpa, let's go. My mom's strawberries are ripe now. We can pick them together." The little guy's emotions cand went like a whirlwind.

After giving it sthought, I said, "He adoptedafter fate brought us e together three years ago." He fell silent and did not continue asking questions.
