The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 244

"Hello, Ms. Lynwood, this is the front desk at the hotel," the voice on the other end greeted.

Lucy gave a soft hum, prompting them to continue.

"A woman identifying herself as elder Mrs. Sherwood dropped something off for you. It's currently being held at the front desk. Please remember to pick it up when you return."

At the mention of elder Mrs. Sherwood, a sudden, inexplicable warmth blossomed in Lucy's chest. The image of the gracious, silver-haired matriarch surfaced in her mind. "Understood. Thank you," she replied softly.

The moment she hung up, two tiny figures came sprinting toward her, latching onto her legs from either side.

"Godmother!" Molly yelled, tipping her sweet face up to look at her.

Seven squeezed in right next to her, his little mouth moving rapidly as he proudly demanded credit. "Mommy, I ate so many veggies at lunch, and I wasn't picky at all!"

Not to be outdone, Molly quickly chimed in, "I ate a lot, too!"

Lucy leaned down and gently patted both their heads, her eyes brimming with affection. "You're both so amazing!"

Jane walked over and instructed Molly, "Molly, take Seven to your room to draw."

Molly nodded and grabbed Seven's hand, leading him toward the hallway, with the nanny following closely behind.

Once the children were out of earshot, Jane turned to Lucy and asked softly, "Are you okay?"

Lucy's lips curved into a faint, nonchalant smile. "He didn't get beaten to death."

"Tsk,"

Jane's smile widened in sheer amusement.
