Chapter 635

"Yeah, I don’t have the strength to carry that much, that’s why Pumpkin is helping me do it,

Mommy." I did not for a second doubt that Munchkin had picked up his shameless character from

Jerome.

I glared at him and said grumpily, "Don't let me hear you calling Tina ‘Pumpkin’ again.”

After a pause, I continued to lecture him, saying," You're a boy. You must learn how to take care of a

girl, okay?"

Munchkin pouted. "I’m still a baby."

'Am I allowed to hit my own child?'

Every time he was lectured, Tina would help him out. After so long, this little brat became terribly

spoiled.

Fred bought two crucian carp and several crayfish. Munchkin was brave, so he held them in his

hand and chased after Tina to frighten her.

The children were playing in the yard. Fred took the basket from my hand and said, “I’ll wash the

vegetables. The fish have been cleaned in the market, they can be cooked straight away."

I nodded.

Munchkin and Tina were probably hungry, hence they

ran to the kitchen and stood around me when they smelled the food.

"You two hungry kittens. If you want to eat, then go and set the table,” Fred said, putting the

vegetables beside me after washing them.

Typically Tina would be the one to grab the cutleries a t this time, whereas Munchkin would remain

beside m e and wait.

Fred carried him to one side and said with a smile, "Be good, Munchkin. Go and put the fruits

beside the sink on the table. The food will be ready soon."

Munchkin nodded and looked up at me, saying, "Hurry up, Mommy. I'm starving."

I nodded helplessly.

When the food was ready, Fred and I brought the food out.

Seeing that the children were already waiting at the table, I could not help but be amused. "You can

start eating. I'll quickly make another vegetable soup."

"We’ll wait for you, Mommy," Munchkin said. Although he was hungry, he still looked expectantly at

me.

After dinner, Fred and Tina went to wash the dishes, whereas Munchkin and I went to the yard to

pick some fruits.

It was now midsummer. I had scattered a lot of watermelon seeds at the beginning of spring. I had

also bought a few apple trees and planted them along the fence the year I came to Zenon. Almost

every year, i t would bear fruit.

Munchkin carried a basket and picked up the apples that had fallen on the ground but were still

edible. He asked me in a childish voice, "Mommy, do you like Fred?"

I was amused. After putting the apples I picked in the basket, I pinched his nose and asked, "What

are you trying to say, honey?"

He tilted his head to think about it and said, "Mommy, can you ask Fred to be my Daddy?"

I could not help but freeze for a moment, then cast my gaze downward at him. "Do you want a

daddy so badly, Munchkin?"

He tilted his head to think about it, then paused and said very seriously, "Not very badly, but I really

like Tina. If you marry Fred, I can then marry Tina next time."

"Even if your mother doesn't marry Fred, you can still marry Tina in the future." A voice rang out

from behind us. It sounded attractive and lilting.

Munchkin and I turned around to look. Munchkin was overjoyed and trotted over. "Daddy Jerome!"

Jerome took Munchkin in his arms and asked with a smile, "Am I not your Daddy, Munchkin? It's

only been a few days yet you've already forgotten all about me."

Munchkin pondered for a moment and replied, "My

classmates told me that their daddy and mommy sleep together. You don't sleep together, so you

can't b e considered my real daddy."
