There was a heavy atmosphere in the car after that. | held Munchkin in my arms and answered him with
patience, "Munchkin, Daddy has swork to do there. He'll cback to accompany us after he finishes his
work, okay?"
The little guy lowered his head without saying a word.
"Munchkin, | know you miss Daddy, but there are too many things to handle in the company now. Daddy was
worried that you'd be mad at him and you'd blhim for not keeping you company in France. But | promise
you that Daddy has tried his best. He toldthat he won't do it again next time," | explained to him.
There was dead silence in the car for a few seconds after that. No one spoke.
| could sense that there was a trace of panic in Theo's eyes. When he was about to say something, Munchkin
broke the silence, "Mommy, I'm not mad. I just think that it must be tiring for Daddy."
Theo and | let out a sigh of relief when we heard that.
"My holidays are almost over, but Daddy has hardly gotten any rest. He's working in the office every day. There
are always documents for him to handle. | can see he's exhausted when he comes back hevery day. He
doesn't have to spend so much with me. It's okay if we don't go to France."
What he said struck a chord with me. | could not help but suppress my emotions and hold back my tears.

"Good boy." | hugged him. Theo, who was in front of the car, was moved by his words too.
"You're a good boy, Munchkin. I'll accompany you once | finish my work. Don't worry. I'm not working this hard for
money. It's to fulfill my values in life. You'll understand this when you grow older."
"Fulfill your values in life?" The little guy repeated Theo's words, but it seemed like he could not understand what
they meant.
"Yes. You'll pursue your dreams and you'll have things you want to do when you grow older. You'll understand
what | mean when the tcomes," said Theo.
Theo seemed to feel relieved after knowing that Munchkin was not mad at him.
| changed the subject of the conversation and said, "Okay. Let's end the lesson here." Then, | opened the tablet,
held it in front of Munchkin, and said
to Theo, "You'd better focus on driving. The two of us will be responsible for planning the travel route."
Theo, who was in the front car seat, seemed dissatisfied. "No way. | want to be involved in the travel route too."
"Aren't you busy? Leave it to the two of us. You can head straight to where we are to look for us when you have
the time," | replied.
There was a trace of mockery in my tone.
Theo pouted his mouth unhappily, but there was nothing he could do. Munchkin and | exchanged glances with
each other. We smiled when we saw him like that.
Sometimes, making fun of Theo was an interesting thing to do.
After listening to my advice, Theo did not ask Keith and Ruby to start packing the documents the night before.
The two of them were
surprised to hear that when
Theo
told them about it the next day when they were in the office.
"It's okay. You can book the flight for tomorrow. Take your tto pack your stuff. We've got time. No rush," said
Theo.
Keith was taken by surprise that Luke was being so thoughtful.
Ruby, who was standing beside Keith, was even more surprised to hear that Theo would be bringing his family
along with him for the business trip this time.
"But President Grant, you made such
a sudden decision. Our schedule
might be tight. I'm afraid that you'll

be exhausted if you bring your family members along with you," said Ruby.
After what had happened yesterday, Theo was already immune to Ruby's words.
"You don't have to worry about that. I'll handle it myself. Just focus on your work at hand," replied Theo.
"But President Grant-"
"Okay. I'll leave you to your work. | can only delay my flight till tomorrow morning. | won't be able to wait for the
two of you if it's later than that," Theo interrupted.
After that, Theo sat down and started working without giving Ruby a chance to say anything.
Ruby knew she was in an unfavorable position. Of course, she did not want Theo to hate her. She dared not say
anything more and left Theo's office to continue with her work.

down the magazine in my hands. Then, | slowly strolled toward Theo and said, "I didn't expect my husband to be
