Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 431

“You want Zendy to take the Harris family name?” Gwendolyn knitted her brows slightly. Zendaya Harris? I guess we can make that happen.

However, this matter could be a bit complicated. In the past, when Cedrick transferred the Jenson Group’s shares to her, she had made a promise at the ancestral hall to divide the shares equally among the children.

If she were to change Zendaya’s family name to Harris, she would likely cause another uproar among the Jensons.

“I’ll have to discuss this with Cedrick again,” she said.

Jackson nodded and smiled in response. “Sure. I’m only suggesting this on behalf of Harris Group. The final decision is up to you.”

“All right. I won’t see you off since I’m still in confinement,” she said.

“You take care.” After Jackson left, Gwendolyn lowered her head to look at Zendaya, who was in her arms.

Zendaya had just woken up and was gazing at Gwendolyn with narrowed eyes.

Her diaper had become thick, indicating that Zendaya had wet it. Gwendolyn looked up and shouted downstairs, “Ceddy, come and change Zendy’s diaper!”

In the meantime, Cedrick was in a video conference on the second floor.

His video and audio were connected to the conference hall, with eight loudspeakers broadcasting.

Cedrick had placed Benedict on his lap, and the desk coincidentally blocked the view. He would occasionally coax the baby with gentle pats.

The study was exceptionally quiet as Cedrick focused on the meeting report. Suddenly, Gwendolyn’s shout from upstairs startled everyone.

All eyes in the conference room looked up and turned toward the elegant man, their faces filled with disbelief. Our CEO changes diapers? Is he a full-time stay-at-home dad now?

It was hard for them to imagine someone as aloof as Cedrick being involved in changing a baby’s diaper.

Faced with the astonished expressions of everyone in the video, Cedrick cleared his throat lightly. “The meeting is adjourned for ten minutes.”

As soon as he finished speaking, the video feed from Cedrick’s side was cut off.

He immediately stood up, holding Benedict in his arms, and quickly went upstairs, pushing open the bedroom door.

Upon seeing Gwendolyn, he softly complained, “Darling, you should have called me on the phone. I was in the middle of a video conference.”

“Oh, my bad. I thought it would be easier to shout instead of calling. I’ll be more mindful next time,” she said.

Cedrick kept mum and exchanged babies with her. He then took Zendaya to the washroom, turned on the warm light, and skillfully changed the diaper while cleaning the baby’s bottom.

Upon recalling Jackson’s visit earlier, Gwendolyn spoke to him through the partially open bathroom door. “Ceddy, the Harris family inheritance is passed down through the females, so Jackson hopes Zendy could take my family name. What do you think?”

“Hmm… Zendaya Harris…” Cedrick muttered. “You decide. A child taking after their mother’s family name is not a big deal.”

“But…” Gwendolyn hesitated. “I promised before to divide the Jenson Group shares I hold equally between the two children. If Zendaya takes the Harris surname and at the same time holds Jenson Group shares, the Jenson family may not agree to this arrangement.”

“That’s true.” While Cedrick was preoccupied with his physical tasks, his mind was also contemplating the matter at hand. “If you want fairness, you can transfer all the Jenson Group shares to Benny and allocate an equal amount of the shares from Harris Group to Zendy.”

After Cedrick finished speaking, there was silence in the bedroom for a while.

Cedrick, with a suspicious expression, cautiously peered over at the bed. “Gwenny, are you reluctant to give up the Harris family shares?”
