Wooing My Ex-Wife

Hearing that, Zendaya exclaimed in excitement, “That’s a great idea! The next time I get a chance, I must try it with Daddy!”

Charles smiled and abstained from indulging in the exquisite seafood feast spread on the table. Instead, he delicately peeled a shrimp, dipped it in sauce, and fed it to Zendaya.

Zendaya’s cheeks bulged as Charles fed her bite after bite within just two minutes. “Uncle Charles, please slow down. I haven’t finished eating yet.”

Charles patiently fetched a tissue and wiped the oil stains from the corner of her mouth. “Is it delicious?”

“Delicious!” Zendaya smiled sweetly and asked, “Uncle Charles, why do you want to go on a blind date? Are you planning to get married? Uncle Charles, after you get married, will you still pamper me like this?”

Charles gently ruffled her hair and placed a tender kiss on her forehead. “Uncle Charles loves you the most, Zendy. No one can ever replace the special place you hold in my heart.”

He gazed at Zendaya’s delicate face which reminded him of Gwendolyn’s when she was young. Taking her little hand in his, he placed it gently over his heart. “Little Zendy, you reside right here in my heart. This special place will always be reserved for you.”

Although Zendaya was not his biological daughter, and they had no blood relation, she was an irreplaceable treasure in his life.

Zendaya blinked her cute and mischievous eyes and asked, “What about Benny? Where does he live in your heart?”

Charles’ jawline tightened, and the smile on his face slowly faded. He remained silent for a moment, unable to find the words to respond.

He felt a deep sense of guilt toward Benedict. Every time he saw Benedict’s frail and sickly condition, he couldn’t help but feel an overwhelming sense of remorse, as if he had committed a grave crime.

In the past few years, he had tried every possible means to please Benedict and make amends for his actions. However, when it came to Benedict…

Charles lowered his gaze, lost in deep contemplation.

Zendaya noticed his sadness and reached out to cup his handsome face in her tiny hands. She spoke with a sincere and comforting tone. “Uncle Charles, don’t be sad. Benny doesn’t want to see you right now because he’s not feeling well and is in a bad mood. But I’m sure he will come to understand that you’re a good person, and he will like you just as much as I do.”

Charles pressed his lips together, wearing a slightly bitter expression. He let out a sigh. “Zendy, you don’t understand. I have done something that has caused harm to Benny, and because of that, Benny won’t forgive me.”

Benedict was incredibly intelligent. At just five years old, he could solve math problems that were typically given in the first year of junior high school. However, he was also introverted, quiet, and rarely smiled.

Since Benedict was incredibly intelligent, it was impossible to conceal the truth of his illness from him. Benedict had picked up on the clues during his previous conversations with Cedrick, leading him to deduce the true cause of his condition.
