| did not answer him and pretended he was talking about something else.

"At least you remember that we got along well back when you were in Zenon. | might not be as rich as Theo

Grant, but | believe that I'm a good choice. At least I'll ensure the safety of both you and your child."

"Fred, that's enough!" | said in a displeased tone, reminding him to watch his words. The things he said today

had crossed the line too many times, and sof them had even overstepped boundaries.

"I can view what happened previously as you being concerned about Munchkin.

Seeing that you're Tina's father, I'll also consider what you said. However, the things you've said today are too

outrageous.

I snuck a glance at the two children as | spoke, not wanting the tense atmosphere hanging between Fred and

myself to scare them. Thank goodness the children were having fun playing with each other and did not seem

like they had noticed the two adults arguing. | forced myself to suppress my anger as | did not wish to disturb

them.

On the one hand, | did not want to seem too angry. However, | also did not want Fred to think | only said what |

said for the sake of it.

"All this while, I've been extremely grateful for all the help you've extended to both myself and Munchkin. But

gratefulness is all that | feel toward you. My husband and | get along well, and we don't need you to be worried

about us."

| spoke calmly. | was sure | would be even angrier than | was now if it were not for the fact that Munchkin and

Tina were here.

"Is that so?" | had not expected that instead of ending the conversation, Fred would askanother question in

reply.

"If that's the case, why did Munchkin get kidnapped? Did you find his holiday as exciting as he did? You're his

mother. Aren't you even the least bit worried about him?"

"What do you mean?"

| knew what Fred was talking about, but I still asked him that question.

Fred seemed to realize that he had gone overboard this tafter hearing that reminder.

He was not foolish and continued

treated Munchkin well and that he's been the top priority in whatever

you many reasons to be uneasy. Danger lurks behind every advantageous condition Theo provides you. Have

you never once been worried about these things?"

Fred paused momentarily. He seemed to want to continue speaking, but | immediately raised a hand and

interrupted him.

"Fred, let's end the conversation here. | see no need for us to remain as friends if this continues."

It looked like had been too soft just

now. | should have made things clear to him earlier and told him of the consequences just now. Otherwise, he

statements sounded to me.

"Munchkin and Tina are friends, and | treat you as a friend too. However, if you insist on destroying our

relationship, I'm afraid I'll have to place my child's protection at the forefront."

| did not want to go overboard as he

had. However, if this went on, | had grounds to suspect that he had ulterior motives every the brought Tina

along to visit. | did not want things to get to that point.

Fred stared atfor a long twithout saying anything.

| stared back at him determinedly, refusing to budge.

Mommy, Mommy, quick. Clook at this," Munchkin called out toabruptly, and just like that, the stalemate

between us was broken.

| glanced at Munchkin and then turned back around to look at Fred. "I don't wish to lose you as a friend."
