The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 254

But the moment he pulled the door open and saw the tall and small figures standing in the doorway, his eyes lit up instantly. His tone was full of pleasant surprise. "Lucy, what are you guys doing here?"

"Uncle Wyatt~" Seven looked up, calling out in a sweet voice.

Wyatt immediately squatted down and pulled the little guy into his arms, laughing as he teased, "Oh wow, you can say my name so clearly now."

He pinched Seven's cheek. "You've grown a lot taller and stronger since the last time I saw you."

Seven wrapped his arms around Wyatt's neck, his eyes curving into happy crescents. "Uncle Wyatt, you didn't grow at all~"

Lucy placed the things she had brought by the entryway and looked at Wyatt, her tone laced with concern. "How's your health?"

"I'm fine, totally fine."

Wyatt pulled a relaxed smile, pretending not to care.

"It's a good excuse to take a few days off and rest."

"Don't get into another fight with him."

Lucy looked at him, speaking seriously.

"You represent the Sterling family. There's no need to satisfy a momentary urge for revenge."

"I know, I know!" Wyatt said, looking incredibly smug. "That bastard is just a sore loser. I can't even be bothered to argue with him."

Seven couldn't understand what they were talking about, his curiosity entirely hijacked by the racing game on the TV screen. He squirmed in Wyatt's arms, yelling, "Down, I wanna get down!"

Lucy didn't dwell on the past incident, changing the subject instead. "Are your cards still frozen?"

Wyatt rubbed the back of his neck, looking a little embarrassed. "Yeah, but it's fine. My family will unfreeze them in a few days."

Lucy pulled an envelope of cash out of her bag and shoved it into his hand. "A holiday bonus. Take it."

"No, no, no," Wyatt quickly declined.

"I have a job and make my own money now. I can't take your money."
