Chapter 1639
"Forget it. Let's not talk about her." Theo was the first to end the conversation as he glanced at his phone. "They
should be ready now. Let's go." Munchkin and | looked up at the stime, full of curiosity. "What's ready?"
"You guys will know when you go." Theo smiled mysteriously and reached out in an inviting gesture.
| put my palm firmly on it, then pulled up the puzzled Munchkin next to me. We walked out of the cafe.
Arriving on the main street, | realized that there was already a black car waiting for us.
It was clear that when we were walking here just now, we did not notice a car following us. However, there was a
car parked here now. It seemed that Theo had arranged it earlier.
On the way, Munchkin could not help but ask. "Daddy, where are you taking us?"
Theo rubbed Munchkin's hair. "I can't tell you yet."
The little guy quickly responded, "Did you plan a surprise for us in France too?"

| knew Theo had done the right thing this time, seeing Munchkin's cheerful face.
"That's for sure. A while ago, | was too busy to spend twith you and Mommy. Now that it's rare forto
squeeze in a little time, | want to make up for it with this. If you like it, that would be great."
As soon as the words left his mouth,
Munchkin hugged Theo and said, "Daddy, you're so nice."
1, on the other hand, gently put my hand on Theo's. Although I did not say anything, the look in all our eyes was
enough to show how we felt about each other.
| knew Theo's true feelings. He wanted to make it up to us for the guilt he felt inside, but this madefeel more
heartbroken for him.
During this rare break, | also hoped that he could take a good rest and relax.
If Theo did not move and just sat there until dinner time, | would have no problem with that. As long as he was
around, it was good enough. It did not matter if there were any surprises or not.
The car passed through tight alleys, turned into the main street, and soon crossed the city. The bustling
skyscrapers were left behind, and what cinto view was an endless plain.
Sitting in the car, | could see a few lonely houses on the grass far away. These houses were coincidentally next to
a mill attached to a windmill. If I looked closely, | could see the fences around. This entire
Ov
farmstead belonged to them.
Looking at the field that stretched to the sky, my heart slowly relaxed. Even as the flowering fields entered my
view, | did not react and still slowly savored the sights.
Then, | heard Munchkin's cheerful voice." Mom, look! It's a hot air balloon. It's a big hot air balloon!"
With a turn of my head, | saw that there was a hot air balloon in the middle of the flower field that was spewing
flames.

Suddenly understanding what this was all about, | looked at Theo in surprise. He nodded at me.
"Mommy, Mommy, can | ride in the hot air balloon?"
Unbeknownst to Munchkin until now, this hot air balloon was what Theo had prepared for us.
| pretended to look at him with a complicated expression. "I don't think we can today. This hot air balloon is
someone else's, and we can't go without receiving an invitation."
Munchkin believed it and instantly had a frustrated look on his face.
Theo could not bear seeingtease Munchkin like this and hurriedly explained, "Munchkin, | invite you onto my
hot air balloon. Are you willing to accept my invitation?"
The little one's mouth was wide open, and he could not say anything for a long time." Is it true? Daddy? That hot
air balloon is yours?"
After that, Theo began to act aggrieved.
"It's mine. | originally wanted to give you a surprise, but it seems that speople don't seem to appreciate
