The Woman From Hell

The second day Munchkin was with us, we arrived at the entrance of the cinema.

We held Munchkin's hand on each side. I glanced at the sign erected next to me. "On second thought, why don't we leave? It doesn't look like there's anything interesting to watch." "I want to watch this." Munchkin pointed to the only animated movie on the sign.

"In Japanese? Can you understand it?"

"I just want to watch it."

I had wanted to convince Munchkin to leave, but Marius agreed with him. "Alright, let's just watch this, then."

There were not a lot of people watching this movie at all with only four to five individuals sitting around sparsely. They were mostly parents who brought their children.

I did not know why Munchkin was so adamant about watching this movie.

Toughening myself, I sat through the entire movie.

After the movie ended, I looked at Munchkin who was next to me. He suddenly turned to me. "Mommy, was it good?"

"It's alright. Why did you want to watch this?" I gave voice to the question I had.

Munchkin blinked and shook his head. "I just wanted to watch it. It's over now. Let's go."

"Alright."

We brought Munchkin to the supermarket after the movie.

He was choosing his favorite items at the front while Marius and I followed behind him.

"I don't know what Munchkin is thinking. I don't think he liked that movie very much, but he insisted on watching it." I shook my head, my mind a mess.

Beside me, Marius had his hands in his pockets. "Perhaps Munchkin was just feeling a lack of security and wanted you to spend more time with him. He would freak out if we just stayed home and had no interaction."

His words woke me up.

Munchkin was still so young but had experienced so much. He did not show it, but he must be feeling terrible.

I had been ignoring his feelings too much.

"Munchkin was actually devastated when he first saw the news about Theo and Delia. I comforted him for a long time that day. When he felt better later on, he asked me not to tell you about it because he knew you would be even more devastated than him." I looked at Munchkin. He was young but was always trying to protect me. I was utterly moved.

"That's why you should be a little happier so that Munchkin will also be happy." Marius' words were filled with affection for Munchkin.

I nodded. I should be happier, even if it was for Munchkin, and spend more time with him. "I understand."

I went up and took Munchkin's hand, picking out his favorite things with him. Occasionally, I would look back at Marius. I noticed every time that Marius would be looking at me with a smile on his face. FindNovel

Was he constantly looking at me...

I turned back around and lowered my head in thought.

My hand moved. It turned out Munchkin was trying to get my attention. "Mommy, what are you thinking about?"

"Nothing. Is there anything else you want, Munchkin?"Content © copyrighted by NôvelDrama.Org.

Marius' arms were filled with stuff when we came out of the supermarket. "Thank you for your hard work."

"How hard can it be? It's just

carrying stuff. Let's go and eat a grand meal next." Marius raised his brows. It seemed like he already had a place in mind.

The restaurant he chose was pretty good. They had delicacies both adults and children loved. Munchkin had a great time eating.

Munchkin looked to be in a good mood for the rest of the day. When we returned to the apartment, he even ran to the room to play with his brother and sister. Marius and I were standing at the door. Seeing Munchkin like this, I also felt much more at ease.

""You feel better?" Marius asked.

I looked at Marius with suspicion in my eyes. "You knew what I was thinking?"

"How hard is it to guess? It's a piece of cake. Women tend to pay attention all the time the moment

they have kids. You're no exception." Marius smiled devilishly.

"Thank you, Marius."

"I told you you don't have to thank me." Marius rolled his eyes at me.

I understood what he was thinking, but I should still say whatever I should say. "Regardless, I still have to thank you. Else I won't feel at ease."

"Really, I can't do anything with you."

Marius looked at me helplessly when he said that. I smiled at him. "Let's hope for peaceful days ahead."
