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
Cynthia took him to the grocery store. Making noodles did not require that many ingredients. But the little boy was in a joyful mood, so she took him around the store. When they returned home, it was almost half past six. She feared that the little boy would be hungry, so she brought him home.Taking the elevator up to her floor, she unlocked the door and the little fellow went in. After he entered, the little boy stared at the clock. He was able to tell the time.“Zion, be good and sit in the living room. Don’t run about, okay? Mommy will be making dinner now.”“ I’ll be good.” The little fellow promised. Watching his mommy entered the kitchen with the bag of groceries, he turned to give the clock another glance. There was only a few minutes left. He quietly moved a small stool to the door. Climbing onto the stool, he stood up and looked through the peephole.Five minutes later, he caught sight of a tall, masculine figure stepping out of the elevator. The little boy let out a delight
All the while the little boy had been blowing on his noodles and did not notice the silent interactions going on between his daddy and mommy.Gabriel lowered his head to have a taste. Cynthia stole a glance at him while he took the first bite fearing that it would not suit the taste of Zion. But it appeared that he did not dislike it as he immediately took another bite. Apparently, it was to his liking.Cynthia was also starving. She lowered her head to eat while checking on the little fellow from time to time. In the silence, a harmonious atmosphere settled upon the family of three.Once they were done with their dinner and the utensils were washed up, it was already half past eight. Wiping her hands dry, Cynthia came out of the kitchen and saw the man sitting on the sofa playing building blocks with his son.The little boy looked up and said, “Mommy, I want to build a castle that looks as good as daddy’s.”Cynthia smiled and then said to him, “Head to your room and build it. I need
Because when this woman was raging in anger, he had this wild desire to tame it.“You…” Cynthia could not comprehend him. She deliberated over it and then said, “You wait. The supermarket downstairs is not closed yet. They should sell men’s pajamas. I’ll buy them for you. End of discussion.”“No need. Even if you buy them, I won’t wear it. It’s a waste of money.” The man cocked his eyebrow, persisting in his ways.Cynthia huffed. “I’ll buy it and you’ll have to wear them.” She then picked up her handbag, planning on leaving.“The supermarket is downstairs? Within this area?” Gabriel arched his brow and asked. Because it was already late, he wanted to make sure it was safe for her.“It’s right downstairs. Why? Do you want to go there yourself? You can’t. You have to look after our son.” Cynthia then opened the door to leave.“Be careful.” Gabriel's deep voice reached her ears.Cynthia closed the door. Did he just remind her to be careful? She couldn’t have heard it wrongly.Fortunately
