Chapter 629
The Woman From Hell
Petra looked at him a little helplessly. "What are you doing? Where do you suppose sheâs going?
She and Theo are getting divorced. We're all she has left. I can take care of her if she's with us.
Besides, she has a child with her. How can she live alone?â
Grayson sighed. "She has made her own plans. We have made too many mistakes. She has the
right to choose how to live her life."
Petra was stunned. After a very long silence, she eventually nodded slightly. She looked at me with
crimson eyes. "My child, don't treat yourself unkindly when you're out there alone. If you want to
come back, feel free to come back any time."
I pursed my lips and did not take Grayson's Centurion Card. After a moment of silence, I said, "I
appreciate your kindness. Although I don't have a lot of money, I've saved some over the years. I
can afford to raise this child, so please take it back."
I got up after saying that. "Itâs getting late. I should feed Munchkin now. Would you please excuse
me?"
I took the child from Petra's arms and walked toward the infant room. When I saw Jerome standing
at the door of the infant room, I helplessly smiled. "Do you have a habit of eavesdropping on
others?"
He stroked his nose awkwardly. "Iâm just worried about you."
I rolled my eyes. "Excuse me, I'm going to feed
Munchkin now."
Jerome nodded blankly.
I walked into the infant room and closed the door before feeding Munchkin.
After a few minutes, there was a knock on the door.
I shouted, "What is it?"
"Wanda." It was Jeromeâs voice. "Are you done feeding? I need to come in and tell you something."
I pursed my lips. "Hold on a second."
Munchkin had drunk enough and was sleepy after drinking. I put him in the cot and coaxed him to
sleep. After he fell asleep, I walked out of the infant room.
Jerome was still waiting at the door for me. I lowered my voice, "Munchkin is asleep."
He nodded.
We went to the living room and sat on the sofa.
He looked at me, reached out, and said, "Give me your hand!"
I frowned. "Why?"
He did not say and was merely staring at me.
Speechless, I reached out and he placed a Centurion
Card on my hand. I was about to refuse when he stopped me. Jerome sighed softly. "Keep it. It'll
make them feel at ease."
I pursed my lips and did not say a word for a very long time.
"No one wanted any of this to happen, Wanda. But we still have to press forward. We can't back
out. All we can do is live the moment."
I nodded. I knew what he was trying to say and smiled faintly. "My life isnât as bad as you think it is. I
donât have to worry about putting food on the table and I have an adorable child. Life will get better."
There was a complicated look in Jerome's eyes. "Iâm glad youâre thinking of it in this way."
It was officially spring a few days later. Salt City was constantly drizzling in spring. After a few
showers of rain, many plants started growing.
There were especially many daffodils in Salt City.
When Jerome and Xander had nothing to do, we would bring Munchkin around to feel the spring
breeze, which improved our mood greatly.
After selling the house in Nothorn Residences, I planned to take Munchkin away from Salt City to
Whaldorf City.
Jerome and Xander were worried. They insisted on sending me to the boarding gate. Jerome held
Munchkin in his arms, his face full of reluctance. "You can live a good life in Salt City too. Why must
you go?"
I smiled faintly. "We agreed yesterday that you wouldn't complain when we parted."
After a pause, I asked with a smile, "Are you worried about Munchkin being with me?"
He twitched his mouth. "What's there to worry about? You're his mother."
I did not have a lot of belongings to begin with. With one bag and Munchkin in my arms, I found it
troublesome to carry other things. The only things I brought were Munchkin's milk bottles and
diapers.
Xander had informed the flight attendant, so someone had already carried all my things on board.
Seeing that it was time for the boarding, Jerome hesitated before asking, "Are you really not going
to tell Theo?"
I shook my head and smiled slightly.
He sighed. "He and the Louises are complete enemies now. The Louises are probably thinking of a
way to get back at him. He won't have the time to come and see you off either."
I did not say much. I took my boarding ticket and waved at him. "Take care!"
