"Munchkin couldn't fall asleep when he learned he would be going out to have fun. Our arrival tis already

late for him."

As | spoke, | gazed at Munchkin and could not help but tease him when | saw how energetic he was despite

getting up early this morning.

The little guy ignored my teasing and hurriedly pulled a chair out for Tina as he said, "Quick, Pumpkin. Sit down.

We can go to the park after breakfast."

"Alright," Pumpkin replied without hesitation as she sat down.

“Enjoy your meal. I'll leave now," | said to the rest of the table as | stood.

Munchkin already knew this was coming

and thus did not seem too surprised. On the contrary, Fred and Tina stared atconfusedly. "Miss Lane, aren't

you going to cwith us?"

| smiled apologetically as | said, "I'm so sorry, but the company's been busy lately, and | must be present. I'm

afraid I'll have to ask you to help take care of Munchkin fortoday, Fred."

Before Tina could answer, Fred stood and said, "It's no problem at all. But why are you still working when you're

pregnant?”

Fred was obviously asking that question due to personal reasons.

I smiled and said, "It's nothing important. | merely want to give the matters at the company a quick look."

Fred was not satisfied with the answer | gave him.

I knew he would not give up that easily and thus said, "Keith should be here soon. Fred, why don't you walk me

to the door?"

"Alright." Fred did not say anything else before he stood up. We walked out of the restaurant together but did not

dare to walk too far away. We stood within sight of the door.

We had to ensure the two children remained in our line of sight.

The minute we stopped, Fred hurriedly looked up and said, "Do you need to avoidthis way? Can't you even

accompany the two kids to the park? Or is Theo forcing you to do this? Is he even forbidding you to go out in

public now?"

Fred looked like he was going insane. His hysterics made him seem different fom the person he was before this.

| did not panic and heaved a sigh

before saying, "Don't think that, Fred. | just want you to understand that I'm doing well now. There's no chance of

anything happening between us. I'm extremely grateful

for your affection, but let's stop it

all

now."

| wanted to add that Tina was a sensitive girl and he should pay more heed to his child's feelings.

However, | decided against it after giving it sthought. | was a parent too, and | knew how hurt he would be if

he heard that.

"So, you can't even accompany us to the park? Not even when the two kids are starting school soon and | won't

get to see you for over six months? It still won't be possible?"

| shook my head firmly. "No."

Fred seemed shocked by my decisiveness and remained silent for a long while after | answered him.

Cto think about it, Fred had always thought he had a chance because | was too soft and indecisive in the

past. Thus, it was a better idea to set things straight now.

"The kids will enjoy themselves more

if I'm not there." That was true since the children would not be able to continue playing if either of us got put in

an awkward position @ lost our temper.

"I'll have to trouble you to take care of Munchkin for today. Callwhen the kids are done. Keith will cto

pick Munchkin up."

Fred seemed to have more questions when | finished speaking, but | turned around and walked off without giving

him another chance to speak up.

| prayed that he would not run after me. My current condition meant & could not walk away fast, and the

situation would beceven more difficult to deal with if he ran afterto ask more questions.

Thankfully, he did not catch up towhen | arrived at the elevators.

| heaved a sigh of relief and headed downstairs so | could get into Keith's car and leave.

There was nothing forto worry about when | handed Munchkin over to Fred.

Now, | hoped he could get things figured out.

"Madam, is there anywhere else you need to go? If there isn't, Sir has instructedto take you straight home."

| could not hold my laughter in. Theo had made a whole speech about wantingto help out in the office before «

this, but now, he wanted to sendhome.
