Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 679

Valentino’s eyes were brimmed with tears, and his hand on Cedrick’s shoulder was trembling slightly. In a sorrowful tone, he said, “I was wrong. Out of all the sons and grandsons I have, I chose to sacrifice you. I’m sorry. Please don’t resent me, Ced…”

Cedrick also teared up a little as he kept mum. Over so many years, Grandpa has always been the elder I love and respect the most. I would never hate him. Even if Grandpa wants me to resign and let Xander take control of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I still won’t resent him.

One month later, Benedict was still receiving conservative treatment in the laboratory. While he was so weak that all he could do was stay in bed, Zendaya had learned to run and call out names.

Early one morning, Charles arrived at Harrick Villa to bring Zendaya to the oceanarium.

After arriving at the oceanarium, Charles carried Zendaya to the dolphinarium to see dolphins.

Zendaya was thrilled and giggling merrily when she saw a dolphin swimming around in the water. Seeing that she was staring fixedly at the dolphin, Charles gave the staff a signal with his gaze. Immediately after, the staff beckoned the dolphin over.

In the next moment, the dolphin was seen swimming swiftly to the edge of the water and sticking its head up to Zendaya and Charles.

“Zendy, this is my birthday gift to you. Do you like it?” Charles asked.

Zendaya smiled brightly and reached out her tiny hand to the dolphin.

Charles guided her tiny hand so that she could touch the dolphin’s head.

The dolphin’s head was soft and smooth, and it was so cute that it could melt anyone’s heart.

The highly intelligent dolphin made Zendaya giggle even harder by tilting its head and rubbing its head against her palm.

Suddenly, Charles put Zendaya down by the pool and said in a gentle tone, “Zendy, be a good girl and stay here, okay? I need to answer a phone call. I’ll be away for a couple of minutes. Don’t go anywhere.”

Zendaya was only a little over one-year-old, so there was no telling if she understood those words. She smiled sweetly at Charles and mumbled, “Uncle… Charles…”

“Good girl, Zendy.” Charles caressed her head dotingly and went to a corner of the oceanarium to answer his phone.

Zendaya squatted at the edge of the pool and played with the dolphin.

When she saw the dolphin swimming around freely in the water, she wanted to do the same. As soon as she toddled toward the pool, a figure dashed toward her from the side and picked her up by the waist.

When Charles returned after the phone call, he saw a female staff carrying Zendaya in her arms. Zendaya seemed to be on the verge of crying.

“What happened here?” Charles asked with suspicion.

The female staff turned around and replied in a serious tone, “Ms. Zendaya wanted to jump into the pool to play with the dolphin just now. The water’s too cold. If I hadn’t picked her up in time, she could’ve caught a cold or drowned.”

Charles took Zendaya into his arms and consoled her before saying to the female staff, “Thank you. I’ll tell the finance department of the oceanarium to reward you with three months’ worth of bonus.”

Stunned, the woman furrowed her brows. “Mr. Newton, that’s not what I meant…”

Tenderness would only appear in Charles’ blue eyes when he looked at Gwendolyn and Zendaya. However, his gaze would always be icy when he looked at others.
