The Ex and Her Riches

Smoking?

He just got the punishment, and it was still hurting. How would he smoke?

Cedrick sighed and gave Gwendolyn a reassuring look.

Once Cedrick had left, the two kids wrapped their arms around Gwendolyn so tightly and refused to let go.

“Mommy! Mommy! How did Daddy find you?” Zendaya looked at Gwendolyn with her big eyes as she blinked them and asked.

Benedict said, “Daddy said Mommy was busy with something at the Harris residence. But that day, I overheard the conversation between Daddy and Uncle Nico, and I knew Mommy was missing.”

As Zendaya heard her brother recounting the incident, it reminded her of something important.

Oh yes, I need to complain about Daddy!

“Mommy, do you know that Daddy was so arrogant recently? He didn’t come to see Zendy for days! In addition, Benny and I saw Daddy smoking and drinking in the office! Daddy did not behave. Mommy, you should beat him!” Zendaya said.

Gwendolyn chuckled and gently pinched her little cheeks. “If your daddy were to hear you tattling, you’d probably get a beating first.”

Zendaya’s face changed, and she snuggled back into Gwendolyn’s embrace. “Zendy is not afraid! Mommy will protect Zendy! Daddy can’t beat me. He’s the one who should be punished first!”

Gwendolyn stifled a laugh.

After Gwendolyn’s arrival, the ward was filled with laughter. The two kids’ sad mood was lifted, and everyone became cheerful.

Cedrick walked out of the lab and went to meet Megan.
