The Woman From Hell

Chapter 871

Susan was amused by her words. "It's not that bad, actually. An average baby weighs about sixpounds. You don't have to eat too much. Just make sure the baby gets enough nutrients. Whenyou’ve given birth t o the baby, you can slowly adjust your diet and then lose weight."

Among the two women, one of them had just given birth while another was currently pregnant.Hence, they naturally had a lot in common to talk about. I listened to them talk while eating thedessert and suddenly felt at peace. I merely hoped that the two women would not involve me intheir topics.

"Wanda, my brother said that Mason brought Munchkin to South Vasetine. He has never separatedfrom you since he was a kid. You must be sad about separating, right?" Cassey said, looking at me.

Susan echoed, "You and Mr. Grant really should have a second child.”

I pursed my lips. "He won’t stay in South Vasetine forever. He'll come home in a few more days."

Cassey snickered. "Don't avoid the topic. Honestly, you and Theo should hurry and have anotherwhile you're still young. If you're worried that Munchkin will be upset, you can seek his opinion. He'salready four now

and knows certain things. Maybe he wants a brother o r a sister too."

I sighed lightly. "Theo and I plan to discuss this after the holidays. He has too many things to handlein the company recently and isn't in the state to consider this matter."

Hearing that Theo and I had the intention of having another child, Susan and Cassey smiledreassuringly.

"I'm going to the hospital later. Petra is hospitalized for appendicitis. If not for the fact that she's mybrother’s sweetheart, I really wouldn't want to go," Cassey said in displeasure.

Susan smiled. "Appendicitis surgery is a minor surgery. She'll only need to be hospitalized for sevendays. It should be over soon."

She looked at me after saying that, seemingly asking me how many more days before Petra wouldbe discharged.

I did not know the answer to this question and was torn about what to say when the phone rang.

I fished out my phone and saw that it was from Mason. I quickly answered it.

Munchkin's voice rang out from the other side." Mommy, Mason and I are at the airport now. We’reboarding the plane soon."

My face broke into a grin. "Alright. Don't forget to give me a call when you disembark later so I'llknow that you’re safe."

Munchkin let out a chuckle. "Alright, Mommy. I will."

Grant Corporation's annual convention was only a few days away. Theo had become even busiernow.

I would not usually feel that lonely when Munchkin was around, but now that he was not, I suddenlyfelt lonely.

I would start to miss him every time I finished dinner. Although we spoke on video calls every night,my heart still felt empty because I could not hold or touch him.

This afternoon, Theo came home and noticed how downcast I was. He sat on the sofa and took meinto his arms. "Are you coming to the company's annual convention tonight?"

I shook my head almost subconsciously. Theo sighed softly and said helplessly, "Can you comewith me? You haven’t left the door for days. Just take it as you’re going out for some fresh air."

I looked up at him and chuckled bitterly. "You know I don't like crowded places."

Theo raised his eyebrows. "I don't feel at ease leaving you at home alone. I won't be going too,then."

This guy!

Left with no other choice, I could only follow him. The annual convention was held in a five-starhotel.

A long table was laid out in the middle of the ballroom, and spread out on it was a variety ofchampagne and delicate pastries. Some pastries looked so scrumptious that I grabbed a plate andtook a few. I then found a quiet place to enjoy them.

Sensing someone behind me, I turned around to look and noticed that it was Celine. 1

She had a plate of pastries in her hand just like me. She also looked like she just wanted to replace aquiet place to eat.
