The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 260

At ten o'clock the next morning, Kingsley headed straight to Lucy's hotel.

Lucy was still in front of the mirror doing her makeup, while Seven was happily working on a bottle of milk.

The doorbell suddenly chimed. Seven tugged on the nanny beside him and asked brightly, "Go see who it is!" The nanny walked over to the door.

When she looked through the peephole and recognized the figure standing outside, she couldn't help but gasp softly, "Mr. Sherwood!"

"Who's Mr. Sherwood?" Seven pressed, tilting his little face up.

The nanny didn't know how to explain it for a moment, so she offered vaguely, "It's someone you know."

"Am I friends with him?" the little guy persisted relentlessly, already on his tiptoes, trying to turn the doorknob.

Hearing the commotion from the inner room, Lucy called out, "Seven, do you know the person outside?"

"It's Mr. Sherwood," Seven called back over his shoulder. The moment Lucy heard those words, Kingsley's hard, stoic face instantly flashed through her mind.

She reached up to tuck a stray lock of hair behind her ear and instructed evenly, "Throw the bottle away when you're done. Go wipe your mouth. It's time to leave."

Seven nodded obediently. "Okay!" he chirped, tossing the empty bottle into the trash before running off to grab a tissue and wipe his mouth.

Lucy double-checked the room to ensure nothing was left behind before grabbing her suitcase. Seven trailed behind her, his small hand resting lightly on the edge of the luggage.

When she opened the door, Kingsley was still standing outside. Without a word of preamble, he took the suitcase from her grip and stated confidently, "We'll go together. I'm heading to Switzerland too."

"I already called a car," Lucy said, her tone utterly flat, refusing to even look at him.

Xavier seamlessly stepped in and took the suitcases from both her and the nanny. Seven reached out with a tiny hand to tug at the hem of Lucy's shirt, calling out in a soft, sweet voice, "Mommy."

Kingsley glanced down and offered the boy a smile, but Seven completely ignored him, turning his face up to Lucy. "Mommy, are we going home?"

Lucy nodded, her voice warm. "Yes, we're going home. Mommy has to go back to work, and you have to go back to class." Seven suddenly remembered something, his eyes lighting up. "Mommy, I need to learn the alphabet, and read storybooks!"

"Alright," Lucy agreed as the group piled into the elevator and rode down to the lobby. By the time she finished checking out, her requested car had just pulled up. Kingsley escorted them to the vehicle, watching it drive off before turning around and sliding into his own car.

Inside, he tapped his fingers lightly against his knee and asked softly, "Is Jules Holt in Switzerland?"

Xavier responded immediately, "No, he's currently on a business trip in the UK."

A meaningful smile tugged at the corners of Kingsley's lips.

"Tell Phil to swap cars and come pick us up." Xavier nodded quickly in agreement.
