Wooing My Ex-Wife

Chapter 681

Charles furrowed his brow as he listened to her increasingly audacious demands.

“Newton Group is a large enterprise. Do you know what it means to hold a five percent stake in the company?”

“Yes, I’m aware,” came the woman’s nonchalant response. “A five percent stake holds considerable value, but my family’s also well-off. As the cherished daughter of the esteemed Cloud family, plenty of men from the city and beyond are willing to go to great lengths to marry me. With such a dowry, you should consider yourself fortunate to have the opportunity, shouldn’t you?”

Charles’ eyes grew distant and cold, his discontent visibly etched on his face.

The blind date had reached an unprecedented level of disappointment, tarnishing his mood for the entire day.

Even so, he remained unresponsive to the woman’s words and merely reached for the silver fork on the table, casually picking up a few nuts from the exquisitely laid-out banquet.

After she waited for what seemed like an eternity without a single word of flattery from him, Jessamyn’s impatience got the better of her. She couldn’t help but ask, “Why are you silent? Do you honestly believe that any other woman, apart from me, would be willing to give their attention to a man with a tarnished past like yours? In fact, Charles Newton, I am willing to be with you, to give our relationship a chance, and even consider our future together. You should feel honored,” she declared, her tone growing more intense.

A sense of urgency permeated her words as if she anticipated his immediate submission and heartfelt appreciation for her so-called generosity.

Just then, the door to the diamond suite creaked open.

A small head poked through the opening. With round and lively eyes, the child surveyed the scene within the room.

Upon spotting Charles, the little figure darted into the suite and, with a voice as melodious as silver bells, sweetly called out, “Daddy!”

Both Jessamyn and Charles were caught off guard.

As the latter turned his head, he was greeted by the sight of five-year-old Zendaya, bounding toward him on her tiny legs, her arms outstretched in a warm embrace.
