Cynthia took him to the grocery store. Making noodles did not require that many ingredients. But the little boy was in a joyful mood, so she took him around the store. When they returned home, it was almost half past six. She feared that the little boy would be hungry, so she brought him home.Taking the elevator up to her floor, she unlocked the door and the little fellow went in. After he entered, the little boy stared at the clock. He was able to tell the time.“Zion, be good and sit in the living room. Don’t run about, okay? Mommy will be making dinner now.”“ I’ll be good.” The little fellow promised. Watching his mommy entered the kitchen with the bag of groceries, he turned to give the clock another glance. There was only a few minutes left. He quietly moved a small stool to the door. Climbing onto the stool, he stood up and looked through the peephole.Five minutes later, he caught sight of a tall, masculine figure stepping out of the elevator. The little boy let out a delight

All the while the little boy had been blowing on his noodles and did not notice the silent interactions going on between his daddy and mommy.Gabriel lowered his head to have a taste. Cynthia stole a glance at him while he took the first bite fearing that it would not suit the taste of Zion. But it appeared that he did not dislike it as he immediately took another bite. Apparently, it was to his liking.Cynthia was also starving. She lowered her head to eat while checking on the little fellow from time to time. In the silence, a harmonious atmosphere settled upon the family of three.Once they were done with their dinner and the utensils were washed up, it was already half past eight. Wiping her hands dry, Cynthia came out of the kitchen and saw the man sitting on the sofa playing building blocks with his son.The little boy looked up and said, “Mommy, I want to build a castle that looks as good as daddy’s.”Cynthia smiled and then said to him, “Head to your room and build it. I need

Because when this woman was raging in anger, he had this wild desire to tame it.“You…” Cynthia could not comprehend him. She deliberated over it and then said, “You wait. The supermarket downstairs is not closed yet. They should sell men’s pajamas. I’ll buy them for you. End of discussion.”“No need. Even if you buy them, I won’t wear it. It’s a waste of money.” The man cocked his eyebrow, persisting in his ways.Cynthia huffed. “I’ll buy it and you’ll have to wear them.” She then picked up her handbag, planning on leaving.“The supermarket is downstairs? Within this area?” Gabriel arched his brow and asked. Because it was already late, he wanted to make sure it was safe for her.“It’s right downstairs. Why? Do you want to go there yourself? You can’t. You have to look after our son.” Cynthia then opened the door to leave.“Be careful.” Gabriel's deep voice reached her ears.Cynthia closed the door. Did he just remind her to be careful? She couldn’t have heard it wrongly.Fortunately

This made him even more determined to drink from it. After the mug was filled, he turned to face her on purpose and drank the water from the mug in huge gulps.Watching his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, she couldn’t help but swallow. Must he act like such a jerk?“You seemed to be parched too. Do you need a drink?” He arched his brow and asked.“No. I’m not thirsty.” She didn’t want to owe him one.“You’re not thirsty, but your body says otherwise. If you want me to quench your thirst, I must first get it up.” The man said.Seeing that he had made a tasteless innuendo, she swiftly shot him a glare. “Say it again and you’ll have to get out. Not every woman who sees you is a she-wolf which has been starving for centuries. I have no interest in men.”Gabriel narrowed his eyes. “Because of your ex-husband?”“It’s none of your business.” She said coldly.Gabriel scoffed. “It may be none of my business. But you’d better not take me for that scum of a man. He’s not even qualified to wipe

The little boy pushed open the door to his mommy’s bedroom and looked at his daddy who was lying in bed. He happily climbed onto it.Gabriel reached out and pulled the little fellow into his arms. The little fellow lay obediently beside his daddy and gazed up at his daddy’s handsome face. “Daddy, you didn’t sleep well last night?”“Yes.” Gabriel answered.“Why didn’t you sleep well?”“Because daddy is selective about the bed that I sleep in.”“What does that mean?”“It means that daddy is unable to sleep in an unfamiliar bed. So, kiddo, why don’t we go back to daddy’s place tonight?”The little boy was feeling very sorry for his daddy. Bobbing his head, he replied. “Okay, I’ll ask mommy to come with us.”Gabriel stroked the little boy’s head and gave a deep chuckle. “Alright.”When breakfast was ready, Gabriel got up and went into the toilet. On the shelf were a few toothbrushes — one for an adult and another for a child. There was one more that had not yet been opened. He took the on

What surprised her was the fact that Cynthia had a child. But this was a point in Angela’s favor. Single mothers did not hold much appeal to men.But were the rumors true — that Cynthia and Gabriel were an item?If that was indeed the case, then Gabriel really had poor taste, or it could be that Cynthia had concealed the truth from him. Gabriel had been captivated by Cynthia’s looks and was unaware that she already had a child!Just thinking of the sort of man whom Gabriel was, caused her heart to quicken.

Seeing that his great-grandpa and daddy were both laughing, the little boy dissolved into giggles. He then threw himself into the arms of Grandpa. While raising his head to look up at his white beard, he asked. “Great-grandpa, what long beard you have! May I touch it?”Grandpa had not held a child in his arms for a long time. He stretched his arms to lift the little boy up. At his side, Gabriel said with worry, “Grandpa, you don’t have to carry him.”“Why? You’re worried that I won’t be able to carry my great-grandson?” Grandpa then gazed fondly at the little fellow in his arms. He doted on his grandson, Gabriel, the most. This affection naturally extended to this little boy as well.Gabriel relented. He had been filled with apprehension on their way here but now he felt himself loosen up. It seemed that this little fellow had his own charm — everyone could not help but adore him.“Tell me, how have you been all these years? Did you have a hard time?” Grandpa asked while staring at hi

Thinking up to this point, Cynthia swiftly sat in front of the computer. Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard as she searched for information on the Yorks family.However, there were barely any information on the Yorks family. Her search yielded only two pages worth of information pertaining to the Yorks family. Cynthia was surprised. She clicked on an article that had been published three or four years ago. It contained only a brief summary regarding the struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family. It mentioned that there was a struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family but hardly any other detail was provided.Cynthia clicked on another link. A blogger had attempted to estimate Gabriel’s net worth — coming to a conclusion that it cannot be estimated.Cynthia randomly clicked on a few other links before losing interest.
