A chuckle rang out. "What's wrong? Did you meet couples displaying their affection for each other at the
manor?"
He was cracking jokes, but | could not bring myself to feel happy.
"No. | just want to see you."
Theo seemed to sense my odd emotions and replied solemnly, "Alright. Ask Keith to bring you guys over. I'll wait
for you at the hotel."
| got into a car with Munchkin after leaving the manor's grounds. As expected, the little guy fell asleep during the
journey.
He carefully held a takeaway box the manor had provided in his arms. Even though he had fallen asleep, he did
not forget to hold the box steady.

| felt like this traffic jam would makelose everything.
| was so scared by the thoughts that had formed in my mind that | did not dare continue my train of thought. All |
could do was pray that traffic would ease up as soon as possible so | could meet Theo soon.
Finally, after a nearly 20-minute traffic jam, | arrived at the hotel.
Keith drove off to park the car while | got out of the car with Munchkin.

Munchkin was fast asleep, he immediately retrieved a stroller, placed the little guy in the stroller, and helped me
