The Ex-Wife's Triumph novel Chapter 263

In the blink of an eye, a week passed. Ever since Kingsley discovered Seven, the little boy was able to go out as he pleased.

Aside from his daily classes, he spent far more time playing outside.

Kingsley never managed to get anything but a cold shoulder from Lucy, but thankfully, things were different with Seven. While they weren't exactly close, hearing the little boy sweetly call him "Uncle Kingsley" was a comforting consolation.

That day, Lucy got off work early, having promised to pick Seven up after class. She was well aware that Kingsley showed up every single time to pick Seven up too—after all, there was absolutely nothing she could do to stop him.

As she approached the classroom door, Lucy caught sight of Kingsley on the phone a short distance away. Her gaze didn't linger; she immediately looked elsewhere.

A few minutes later, Kingsley hung up and walked over to her, his tone casually familiar. "Off work early?"

Lucy didn't answer, but her brows knit together slightly. Recently, a number of lucrative projects had come her way with clients specifically requesting her design work. She knew her skills were solid, but she certainly wasn't famous enough to have people knocking down her door unsolicited.

"Those projects that specifically asked for me—you arranged them, didn't you?" She looked up at him, her tone dead certain.

Kingsley offered a faint smile, trying to play it off. "No. It just proves you're talented and your reputation precedes you."

"Kingsley," Lucy interrupted, her eyes turning a few degrees colder. "I don't want anyone interfering with my work. Do you think I'm stupid, or are you just that dense?"
