Wooing My Ex-Wife

After breakfast, Gwendolyn and Cedrick again went their separate ways as the kindergarten and laboratory were in different directions.

The former drove Zendaya to the kindergarten, while the latter brought Benedict to the laboratory for an IV infusion.

On the way to the laboratory, Benedict gazed out the car window at the scenery that flashed past incessantly. His ebony eyes glimmered with wit and intelligence.

“Are you really going to keep me company throughout my IV infusion today, Daddy?” he ventured.

Cedrick, who was driving in front, did not bother answering that. He merely lifted his eyes and glanced at his son in the car seat at the back through the rearview mirror.

Benedict resembled his childhood self greatly, appearing incredibly docile before his elders yet actually having many tricks up his sleeve.

Sure enough, upon receiving no response from his father, Benedict thoughtfully lamented, “Apart from the work matters at the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Daddy, you still have to handle things at Jenson Group. I know you’re exceedingly busy, and it distresses me—”

Without waiting for the little boy to prattle at length, Benedict cut him off. “If your plan is to trick me and do something bad, you don’t need to bother wasting your efforts.”

Benedict promptly paled and giggled. “Of course not. I merely don’t want you to neglect your work because of my matters, Daddy. I’ll feel very guilty.”

Cedrick’s expression remained calm and unruffled. His ebony eyes were fixed right ahead as he concentrated on driving.

“I was also once your age, Benny. I know more or less what you’re thinking. But I’m not going to give you a chance. If you want to do something wicked to sabotage someone, you should tell me in advance instead. Who knows, I might support you.”

Pursing his lips, Benedict lowered his eyes and went silent for a moment.
