Wooing My Ex-Wife

Charles, too, was curious as to what Zendaya thought.

Hazel looked rather gentle and had a soft voice. She seemed to be a lot better at handling children than Whitney was.

Zendaya blinked, shook her head, and replied without missing a beat, “I don’t think that’s possible. My godfather is already dating Whitney. They started dating two days ago, and they seem to be very close.”

Hazel had an awkward look on her face when she heard that. “Oh, I see. That’s too bad, then. I guess your godfather and I aren’t meant to be together.”

If only I met this handsome and wealthy man two days sooner! It’s such a shame he’s already taken!

Hazel could only let out a sigh as she watched Charles leave with Zendaya in his arms.

“You gave Ms. Bardot no chance at all, Zendy. Do you really like Whitney more?” Charles asked with a chuckle on the drive back.

Zendaya crossed her arms and acted like an adult as she replied seriously, “That’s not it, Uncle Charles. I may be young, but I know a lot of things. I can tell that Whitney is really in love with you. Ms. Bardot only liked you because you’re rich and handsome. She’s no different from Ms. Cloud, who also liked you for your good looks and money. I don’t like superficial women at all.”

Charles was surprised at how well Zendaya had analyzed those two women.

She sure is smart for a child!

“Huh? This road… Are we going back to the Jenson residence?” Zendaya asked while staring out the window.

“That’s right.”

“But I don’t want to go home just yet. Let’s drop by the laboratory. Benny probably isn’t done with his intravenous treatment, so I want to keep him company.”

Charles tensed up when he heard that and recalled how Zendaya had said Johnnie called Benedict a useless invalid.

She seems to care a lot about Benedict. I bet she must have blamed me at some point in the past, huh? I wonder what I should do to make it up to him…

With that in mind, Charles turned the car around without saying a word.

Zendaya was so caught up thinking about how she should hide the trouble she caused that she didn’t notice his change in expression.

With a worried look on her face, she reached out to hold Charles’ free hand and asked, “Could you help me hide what I did at the kindergarten today, Uncle Charles? Please don’t tell Daddy about it! Daddy’s really fierce, so he’ll definitely give me a good spanking if he finds out!”

The mere thought of Cedrick was enough to get her cheeks puffed up with anger. “Daddy warned me last time not to get into fights with other kids. He wanted me to be elegant and graceful like Mommy. That’s so unfair! Why is he allowed to use violence to get his way while I have to be all meek and obedient?” she exclaimed with her hands on her hips.
