The Woman From Hell
Chapter 2308

Theo never attended small or medium-sized dinner parties.

Although many companies would be attending the charity dinner the day after tomorrow, most of them were small and medium-sized enterprises, including artistes and models who were on the lower tiers. Thus, there was no reason for him to go. Sure enough, Theo nodded. "No, I won't be going."

"Fortunately, I have Delia to bring me along. Green Orange hasn't made it to the point where we would be invited to this kind of dinner party. We can only rely on our networks." I pinned my messy hair behind my ear and looked over at the dress again. After thinking about the makeup and hairstyle for the day after tomorrow, I went to the bathroom to change my clothes.

The moment I came out, Theo asked, "Did Delia tell you about the banquet?"

"Yes, it's a great opportunity. Shannon and I were thinking about how to introduce new products to our company when Delia called and told me that there was a dinner party happening. Isn't this great? It's like I'm getting help from above."

Brows raised, I smiled and looked at Theo.

Theo was frowning and did not say anything for a long time.

Seeing him like this, I also frowned. "What's with your expression?"

I reached out to smooth his furrowed brows, but I could not.

"Nothing, I was just thinking about work."

"Aren't you just running away? You asked me a question first, but now you're thinking about your own work."

"Remember to come back early."

"I'm not even going yet you're already nagging me."

Theo lowered his head and continued flipping through the magazine, but the conversation went unhindered. "It's the weekend. Come back early to accompany Munchkin."

"Ah yes."

I almost forgot that we could go and bring Munchkin home tomorrow.

I nodded. "I got it. I'll come back earlier if things go well."

The next evening.

I drove to Cool Breeze Elementary School to pick up Munchkin. When the head teacher saw me, he was puzzled. "Mrs. Grant?"

"Hello, I'm here to pick up Munchkin."

"Munchkin has already been picked up. Didn't your friend tell you?" The head teacher looked at me with wide eyes.

My heart rose up to my throat.

Could what had happened last time be happening again?

I quickly asked, "No. Who picked him up?"

"I took photos."

With the lessons learned from the last incident, the teacher was more reliable this time.

She let me see the photos, and after seeing the two individuals with bright smiles in the photos, I was relieved. "Okay, I see. Did she say where she was taking Munchkin?"

"I think to eat."

"Alright, thank you."

I already had a place in my mind.

I arrived at the restaurant. It was a parent-child-themed restaurant. It was not aimed at families of three but was designed to let mothers and children bond.

I saw Munchkin and Delia sitting by the table before I even entered.

Delia was looking at Munchkin with kindness in her eyes. It looked like she really treated Munchkin as her own child.

Head lowered, I smiled slightly before entering the restaurant and heading toward them.

"So, you guys are above even informing me now?" I deliberately showed a fierce expression.

Delia took out her phone and muttered, "No? I sent you a message."

She pulled up my contact. The message [I'm going to pick up Munchkin. See you at the themed restaurant later] had not been sent. Delia raised her head aggrievedly. "I forgot to switch on my data, so it didn't send out."

I chuckled and said, "It's alright. I was just joking with you. I had it figured." "That's good. I thought you were angry."
