Chapter 561
The Woman From Hell
Theo and I sat on the sofa watching TV. A variety show was playing. I was easily amused, but Theo
was not even remotely amused, hence it was boring for the two of us to watch it together.
"Itâs better to drink less of the tea." Theo switched off the TV and held my hand, saying to me
seriously, "It's not good to drink too much of something. I don't want you to get poisoned."
Poisoned? No way, how could it be so serious?
I was just about to mock him when Munchkinâs cries rang out from the nursery.
I shook Theo's hand off and rushed to the nursery. When I went in and saw Munchkinâs face full of
tears, I felt tremendously heartbroken. "What's wrong, Baby?â
"He's probably hungry." Xander rushed in as well.
"He just drank not long ago."
Xander turned around to go out. "I'll go and make some infant formula. Let's see if he takes it."
I followed him outside.
After making the infant formula, Xander and I returned to the nursery and were shocked to see the
scene before our eyes.
Theo was holding Munchkin, who had stopped crying and was now staring at Theo with his huge,
round eyes. A big grin was plastered across his face.
Xander snapped back from his trance and handed Theo the milk bottle. "Feed him and see if he
wants to drink it."
Theo nodded and sat on the bed to feed Munchkin.
The usually cold and lofty man was now holding a baby in his arms while feeding him. This was
such a heartwarming scene to behold that I thought it was adorable to look at.
Xander looked deeply at Theo before turning around t o leave.
"I really want to laugh.â I could not hold back anymore.
This was such an amusing scene to look at.
Theo looked at me and raised his eyebrows. "Why do you want to laugh?â
I shook my head with a smile. "I just think that you're showing a side of you that I've never seen
before. It changes my perception of you.â
Theo smirked. "If you like looking at this version of m e, then I'll show more of this side of myself to
you next time."
A cold shiver ran down my spine. "Forget it."
If he did this to me, then I would think that he was behaving abnormally again.
Munchkin drank the infant formula delightfully. I walked over to Theo's side and looked at him.
"Where did you learn to take care of a child?"
I thought Theo knew nothing about childcare, but he was surprisingly skilled at it.
Theo looked up and peered into my eyes with a complicated expression. "I learned these things
when you were pregnant."
I pursed my lips and said no more.
Munchkin stopped drinking, so Theo put the milk bottle aside and quietly looked at him. "Xander
and Jerome seem pretty busy. They donât have much time t o take care of the child. Why donât we
take him with u s?â
I was stunned. "But I'm afraid that I wonât be able to take good care of him. I'm also afraid that he
won't get used to being away from Xander and Jerome."
"It'll be even harder for him to get used to it when he grows older. Donât you think this is the perfect
time to do it?" Theo held my hand. "We have time now and can take care of him together. The
caretakers at home have experience in taking care of children too. They'll take good care of him.
You don't need to worry at all."
His gaze was pressing, and I subconsciously nodded a s I did not want to refuse him.
Theo smiled. "Xander and Jerome have been taking care of him for so long. He must be quite
attached to him. When Jerome comes home, I'll seek his opinion. I f he agrees, weâll then take the
child away."
I looked dazedly at him. "Okay."
Why had I never realized before that he was such a considerate person?
It seemed like he had unknowingly changed a lot... 1
