The Ex and Her Riches
Chapter 689
On the cozy bed, a fierce competition for Gwendolyn’s attention erupted between the two little ones.
Zendaya and Benedict both vied for the prime spot next to their beloved mother, even tussling to snuggle up to her.
Benedict, being the more mature and sensible older brother, eventually conceded defeat.
He graciously shifted his little pillow next to Cedrick’s.
After a good half-hour of chaos, the family finally settled down, ready to drift off into dreamland.
Little did they suspect that as soon as the lights went out, a tiny voice belonging to Zendaya pierced the darkness.
“Mommy, my heart is racing like crazy. I just can’t fall asleep,” Zendaya whimpered, her voice carrying a tinge of desperation.
Cedrick, his voice laced with lazy amusement, chimed in. “Zendy, you were sprinting like a cheetah before bedtime. It’s no wonder you’re all wound up.”
Gwendolyn remained silent.
While Zendaya struggled to find sleep, Benedict desperately needed it.
Gwendolyn could see the exhaustion etched on his face. After spending hours in the lab receiving treatments, Benedict deserved a restful night at home.
While she was pondering a solution, Cedrick proposed one. “What if your mommy tells you both a bedtime story?”
Zendaya perked up. “Yes, please!”
Benedict rolled his eyes. “That’s boring.”
Cedrick had a secret agenda. He was hoping that exposing Benedict to more fairy tales and their enchanting lessons might soften his precocious and adult-like demeanor.
He insisted, “Benny, you’ve never experienced your mommy’s storytelling, have you? Consider it a new experience, and it’ll also help soothe Zendy to sleep.”
Benedict grudgingly shifted his position, tucking his arms in. “Whatever. Girls are so troublesome. Even when it comes to bedtime, they want attention before they’re willing to sleep.”
