The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 229

Kingsley went straight to the company after returning. After dealing with business matters, he headed directly to Sherwood Manor.

Just as he got out of the car, he bumped right into Bacchus Sherwood, who had also just returned.

Bacchus's gaze landed on him, his tone concerned. "Are you better?"

"Nothing serious." Kingsley hooked the corner of his lips, his tone relaxed.

"You can't make all the money in the world; if you run yourself into the ground, it won't mean a thing," Bacchus didn't forget to admonish.

He had no idea about the specific reason for the illness.

The two walked into the house side by side. The servants saw them and quickly came forward to greet them respectfully.

Inside, Grandmother Sherwood was holding a teacup. Seeing Kingsley, a trace of surprise flashed in her eyes. "Weren't you abroad? Why did you suddenly come back?"

Kingsley handed his coat to the approaching servant, his tone natural. "Came back to keep you company."

"I almost believed that. Things didn't go smoothly?" Grandmother Sherwood smiled, but her eyes held a knowing look.

"Just temporarily not disturbing them. Letting them have a good vacation." As Kingsley spoke, an unconscious tenderness rippled at the corner of his mouth.

Catching this subtle expression, Grandmother Sherwood immediately pressed, "Them? What does that mean?"

Bacchus beside them also frowned, his face full of confusion. "What? Lucy is dating someone?"

Kingsley didn't answer. He simply opened his photo album—showing the photos Ethan had taken—and handed the phone to Grandmother Sherwood.

Seeing the small face in the photo that was almost a replica of Kingsley's childhood self, Grandmother Sherwood grabbed Wilma's hand excitedly.

"Wilma! Why does it seem like I'm seeing Kingsley as a child? My eyes aren't playing tricks on me, are they?"

Wilma hurriedly put reading glasses on her, her voice full of laughter. "No tricks! Old Madam, you have a great-grandson!"
