The Ex and Her Riches

However, seeing the excitement and anticipation on Gwendolyn’s face, he couldn’t say anything else, only responding, “I’ll listen to my wife.”

An hour later, two cheerful little figures ran up to Gwendolyn and Cedrick, chattering excitedly about the fun things that happened on their way.

Nico, on the other hand, was laden with all sorts of things, such as a milk bottle, a backpack, a water cup, a small towel, and a little jacket.

With a playful smile, Gwendolyn couldn’t help but tease, “Nico, you’re definitely going to make a great dad in the future.”

After getting teased by Gwendolyn, Nico blushed in an instant, even his cars turned red.

Seeing him like that, Gwendolyn leaned closer to Summer and whispered, “Summer, you guys should hurry up too. Benny and Zendy are already five years old. It’s time they had a playmate.”

“Oh, Gwendolyn…”

Summer, feeling shy from the teasing, quickly scurried off to keep herself busy by the lake.

The afternoon sun was just right, so Nico and Summer were busy preparing the barbecue.

Not far away, there was another family, carefree and joyful. A family of four was relaxing under a tree, enjoying the fruits they had bought.

A gentle breeze swept by, bringing immense comfort.

Cedrick watched Nico and Summer busily working by the lake, and said to Gwendolyn with a smile, “We were the ones who suggested the barbecue, but they ended up doing all the work. It really isn’t right.”

Despite saying that, he didn’t move an inch away from his wife. From behind, Benedict quietly said, “Daddy, you’re playing innocent after taking advantage.”

Those words made the rest of them burst into laughter.

The joyous times always seemed fleeting. After enjoying a barbecue and watching the sunset, the two families finally parted ways.

The two children were so exhausted that they fell into a deep sleep as soon as they got in the car, their bodies and minds completely content.

At ten o’clock in the evening, Swain emailed the final verdict of Joe’s case to Cedrick.
