The next hour was spent watching the man in front of her set her son off in peals of laughter. She was feeling somewhat unsatisfied in her heart. This man was adept at coming between her and her son.After walking around the garden, it was already 8:30 p.m. On their way back, Gabriel carried the little boy on his shoulders. The little fellow’s radiant laughter pierced the night.Behind them, Cynthia heard her son’s spirited laugh. The corners of her mouth curved up into a smile that she herself was not aware of.As a mother, her son’s happiness was her happiness. This sort of feeling was one which she could not suppress.Back in the living room, the little boy had been laughing till he had run out of strength. Holding the little fellow in his arms, Gabriel could not resist kissing his soft cheeks causing him to become ticklish and break out in giggles. The smile on Gabriel’s handsome face came from the love and indulgence in his heart.Cynthia came upon this scene and was stunned. The
His perfectly chiseled face was facing her. Her heart skipped a beat. She felt like it was about to burst out of her chest. It has to be said that this man was the most handsome man out of all the men she had ever seen.She had previously thought that her ex husband Jude topped the list of good-looking men. Now, when she saw this man, she knew that this man was in a league of his own.The little boy who was in the middle, was buzzing with excitement making him unable to lie still. One minute he was looking at his daddy and the next, he was looking at his mommy. Like a high-spirited puppy, he couldn’t contain his excitement. His small lips giving them kisses to and fro.Cynthia had to hold down the energetic child. “Okay, don’t move about. Go to sleep.”The little boy quieted down. His small head did not impede her view, so Cynthia’s gaze met the gaze of the man opposite her without any obstruction.The man’s eyes were dark and deep, like two black holes pulling people into oblivion. T
“I know. My son told me that he is the richest man in the world.”“Cynthia, you’re really lucky. Back then, you’d managed to sleep with such an outstanding and handsome man. Now, you needn’t have to worry about it any longer.” Linda said with a hint of envy.Cynthia smiled bitterly. “How can I not worry? He came to snatch my son away from me. I will definitely not give my son to him.”“Why do you have to give him your son? Just marry him.” Linda spoke with no hesitation.Widening her eyes, Cynthia's face flushed red. “How is that possible? How could I possibly marry him? What’s more, I have zero interest in men.”“You can’t put marriage off for the rest of your life just because of that one incident.”“I’m done with men. I’ll never marry even if I had to die.” Cynthia said firmly.Linda looked at her somewhat at a loss for words. “Alright. It’s your decision. Did Angela gave any comment yesterday?“Yes, I promised to revise it according to her request. She wants to double the size of
Jude reached the bottom floor and was only a few steps behind her. He looked at the delicate figure in front of him. He was quite surprised. He had initially thought that life would be difficult for her since she had left with nothing. But the woman in front of him exuded an air of elegance and confidence.Over the years, he did not dare to think of her because he was ashamed. The more he emerged as a prominent figure in society, the more he reflected on his disgraceful past and wanted to make it up to her.However, he was not able to do so because he couldn’t track her down.Now that he had met her and knew that she had returned to this City , his desire to make it up to her surged fiercely in his heart.Linda turned to glance behind her and saw a man dressed in a gray suit. The tall man seemed to be following after them. The man stared fixedly at Cynthia’s figure. She then guessed his identity.It couldn’t be that Cynthia had met her ex-husband!Jude’s car was also parked in the dir
In the playroom, second floorThe little boy was flying a remote control helicopter. Seeing Cynthia entered, he grinned. “Mommy, look at my helicopter.”Cynthia glanced around the large room that was filled with expensive toys. It left her speechless. The way this man spoiled his son was simply outrageous.“Mommy, daddy promised to build me a huge playground in the backyard.” The little boy shared the exciting news.Cynthia grew even more speechless. She stooped down to level her eyes with her son’s. “Son, even if your daddy is rich, you cannot just ask him for anything that you want. You should appreciate what he has given you. But you can’t be a spendthrift.”“Mommy, I know. I will not do it again.” The little boy was now aware of his mistake.“Alright, since these have already been bought, just go ahead and play them! Mommy will be right here.” She stroked his little head and comforted him.Perhaps men have a different way of spoiling their kids.Cynthia accompanied her son on the
Nibbling on her lower lip, Cynthia walked towards the bed. Glancing over at the indolent figure who had his arms folded under his head, her gaze inadvertently collided into his as he happened to look over at the same time.He looked at the conservative nightwear she had selected for herself. The milky-white color nightwear set off her fair skin. Her black tresses tumbled down around her shoulders. Dressed even in conservative clothes, it did nothing to detract from her allure. That appearance alone was enough to make men drool over her.There was a trace of regret in Gabriel's heart. This woman’s figure had long been enjoyed by some other men. How many men have paid for her body?The more he thought about it, the more evident was the derision in his eyes. His face was drawn tight.The little boy had been waiting for his mommy to get onto the bed and did not catch the gloomy expression on his daddy’s face.Cynthia disregarded the man. She lay down beside her son and wrapped the little
Seeing her angry, he cocked his eyebrow and gave her a devilish smile.“Daddy, where did you go last night?”“Daddy suddenly thought of some work that I had to complete last night and came out to work.” Gabriel smiled.“Oh! Daddy, let’s have breakfast. After we’ve finished eating, we can all leave together. That way you can send mommy to work.”“I… I don’t need a lift.” Cynthia didn’t want to be stuck with him. The incident last night had already cast a shadow on her.“Are you sure? I won’t be lending you my car today. ”“I can always call a cab!” Cynthia was not intimidated by this.“Any vehicle would have to get through security before they are allowed on the road leading to my residence. Without my permission, unauthorized vehicles are not allowed in.”She fixed him with a stare and remained quiet. If she were to walk, half an hour of walking in her heels would certainly tire her out.“Mommy, just ride in daddy’s car!” The little boy was worried for her.“Zion, why don’t you have b
Cynthia frowned. Why was she here? Does she want to change the design of her ring again? Linda who had received the news of Angela’s arrival, went out to greet her. But Angela was here for Cynthia. She said to Linda, “I just want to meet the Designer . I’ll wait for her in the conference room. Bring me a cup of coffee.” After becoming Mrs Leonard, Angela was used to bossing others around. She was an expert at issuing orders. Even Linda who was the manager was ordered about like a servant. Cynthia who had just come from her office, looked at Angela coldly. “May I ask if Mrs. Leonard has any more adjustments to make to the design?” “Let’s talk.” Angela sneered while looking at her. “If it’s a private matter, I do not have the time for it. I can only accompany you to discuss business.” “It’s business.” Angela didn’t want to discuss things with her here. She strode to the conference room. Cynthia’s brows were knitted into a frown. She followed after her. Once they arrived at the c
