Chapter 675 No News
A little surprise?
Gwendolyn felt a sweetness in her heart, not expecting Cedrick to be so thoughtful. He had managed to arrange everything while she was packing at the hospital, even preparing a gift.
Charles had accompanied her there and was instructing the elite medical personnel arranged by the hospital director to enter Harrick Villa in an orderly fashion at that moment.
He heard Zoey's words as soon as he reached Harrick Villa's entrance. Cedrick even prepared a homecoming gift for Gwendolyn? After all this time together, he still remembered to surprise her to spice up their marital life. As a husband, Cedrick has indeed been very thorough in his duties, taking everything into consideration in all that he does.
Charles' heart clenched. He couldn't help but wonder if he would've been so meticulous if he had been the one to marry Gwendolyn previously.
He took in the heartfelt smile on her face. I don't think I've ever made her smile so happily before.
A slight discomfort crept into his heart as he relented once again. “Gwen, now that all the medical staff are here, I'll be taking my leave first.”
Gwendolyn turned to look at him. “It's getting late. Why don't you stay for dinner?”
“That's not necessary. It'll be the same if I return to the Newton residence to have my meal.”
Gwendolyn held Benedict, but her eyes were riveted on Zendaya in Zoey's arms. “You haven't seen Zendy for many days, right? She misses you. Are you sure you don't want to stay and accompany her?”
He hesitated briefly, turning his gaze following Gwendolyn's line of vision to look at Zendaya in Zoey's arms.
Zendaya was laughing happily. Her facial features were a replica of Gwendolyn's when the latter was a child.
She reached out her fair tiny arms at Charles, seemingly wanting him to cuddle her.
When Charles shifted his deep blue eyes to meet Zendaya's, her dark, grape-like eyes instantly won over his heart.
Zendaya babbled and furrowed her brows as if she was feeling aggrieved because Charles ignored her.
Before he realized it, he had given in and strode over, receiving the whimpering Zendaya from Zoey and patiently patted the baby girl to comfort her.
Zendaya snuggled in Charles' arms and giggled triumphantly as if she finally had her way, making everyone in the room laugh.
Zoey said, “It seems Ms. Zendy is really fond of Mr. Newton. Mrs. Jenson hasn't been back for many days, yet Ms. Zendy only wants Mr. Newton to hold her. It's like all her attention is focused on him and no one else.”
Her remarks truly touched Charles' heart, making him all the more reluctant to part with the adorable Zendaya.
Gwendolyn gazed at them and smiled. “Do you want to stay for dinner now?”
He replied, “I wouldn't dare refuse your enthusiastic invitation. I'll have dinner and then play with Zendy for a while longer before leaving.”
All the medical staff were accommodated at Harrick Villa, responsible for following up with Benedict's ongoing medical condition.
Cedrick had the nursery on the fourth floor remodeled into Zendaya's personal room and cleared out the neighboring room to let the sick Benedict stay alone.
Cedrick regarded Benedict's health with great importance because the little boy suffered from congenital weakness and premature heartbeat, which were conditions that shouldn't be taken lightly.
As he couldn't allow Benedict to affect the currently healthy Zendaya, he had no choice but to arrange for the two babies to stay separately. Moreover, he had taken care of everything before Gwendolyn returned home.
Gwendolyn was satisfied with Cedrick's efficiency in getting all the work done while she was discharged, so she didn't have to worry about anything. Once again, she was showered by his thoughtfulness.
Channing monopolized all the milk powder business under Jenson Group.
Although he was a member of the underworld, Channing took the health and growth of the children very seriously. Having had experience with tainted milk powder incidents, he assigned his closest associates to oversee every process at his milk powder factory, including procurement of raw materials, production, packaging, and finally, transportation.
