The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 259

From the side, Kingsley jumped in immediately, a subtle trace of hope lacing his tone.

"I could teach you, too." Seven merely lifted his eyelids to shoot him a glance, offering no response before turning his little head back toward the storybook in Molly's hand.

At lunch, Kingsley didn't stick around. Afraid that his presence would ruin Lucy's appetite, he left right away. On the drive back, Shane sent over the dossier on Susan Talmadge's recent contacts. Kingsley skimmed through the documents quickly, then tossed his phone onto the seat beside him.

The icy glare in his eyes remained undiminished. Reaching out to him for the sake of an old flame—it was absolutely pathetic.

The phone in his pocket suddenly vibrated. It was a call from Bacchus Sherwood. He hit answer, and Bacchus spoke first. "Are you out? Did you eat yet?"

"No. I'm on my way back to the main estate," Kingsley replied, pinching the bridge of his nose, his tone frosty.

"She called you, didn't she?" Bacchus asked, having just hung up with Susan himself. His voice was laced with impatience.

"Ignore her. Block her number if you have to." Kingsley gave a soft hum of agreement. "Don't worry. I've always been cold-blooded. She won't get anything out of me."

"Don't take her extreme remarks to heart. Blocking her is just easier, so she doesn't try pulling any more tricks." Kingsley let out a scoff.

"Coming to the son she hates just to help out her married first love. It's ridiculous." He then added flatly, "I'm hanging up."
