Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick)
Chapter 813

Chapter 813 Benedict Is A Feisty One

Cedrick was taken aback but quickly responded, "Of course I refuse to sleep in the study. I want to sleep on the other half of your bed."

Pursing her lips into a smile, Gwendolyn continued, "What I mean is, if you mess this up, you won't even get to sleep in the study. You, my dear, will just have to make do with the garden." Cedrick was rendered speechless.

Gwendolyn's voice was so soft that only the two of them could hear it. Yet the brief sentence was enough. to instantly cause Cedrick's expression to change.

He was willing to go through hell and high water, but to sleep separately from his wife was something he would never accept.

That was simply the cruelest punishment in the world to him.

He quickly responded, "Don't worry, my dear wife. These are no more than childish games. They're not even worth mentioning."

"The game is about to start. Could all mothers and children please take a seat according to your names?"

Since it was a rare treat to play such an interesting game with her mother, Zendaya was beyond excited, enthusiastically picking up the paintbrush and starting to paint on the canvas with great gusto. The theme was "The Little Man on the Elephant." Zendaya was responsible for drawing the little man, while Gwendolyn took care of the elephant and all the other intricate details.

As Gwendolyn had spent a few days systematically learning how to paint in the past, mother and daughter quickly finished their artwork and handed it over to the teacher.

Before leaving the art studio, Zendaya proudly showed her work to the other children. Her beautiful eyes sparkled with joy as she said, "My mommy is really talented. You guys should work hard too." "My mommy is also very good! Don't get too cocky, Zendaya!"

"Bleh..."

Zendaya made two funny faces, then went outside with Gwendolyn.

The outdoor venue was all set, awaiting the participation of parents and children alike..

Before they came out, Cedrick had already spoken to the teacher, explaining the situation. Not only did he want Zendaya to participate in the family activities, but he also hoped that Benedict could join in as well.

Given that the children were the same age and Cedrick was exceptionally handsome, the teacher naturally wouldn't refuse and agreed with a blush.

Upon hearing that he could also participate in the activities, Benedict's little face was full of disdain, as if the games were meant for retards. Cedrick saw through him but chose not to expose it. He bent down to pick Benedict up before heading off to replace Gwendolyn and Zendaya. One by one, the other parents and children emerged from indoors, and the outdoor activities promptly.

Because of Benedict, Cedrick has to manage activities for two children at the same time.

He swiftly punched two holes in the newspaper, allowing the two children to crawl through. Fortunately, Benedict and Zendaya were nimble enough, and they quickly accomplished the first task. The second task was an obstacle challenge. They had to hold the designated item given by the teacher first.

Benedict and Zendaya steadily made their way through numerous obstacles.

Aside from the slight hesitation in Zendaya at the final leap, the three of them smoothly made it through.

Competing alongside them was another family who had a little boy who was always secretly vying with Benedict. He was determined not to let Benedict get ahead of him one bit.

For the final rock climbing challenge, only Zendaya could participate. Benedict couldn't do it due to his physical condition.

Despite her petite frame, Zendaya was every bit as good as boys her age when it came to climbing. It was the result of her regular practice sessions throughout the year.

Cedrick stood below Zendaya, minding the safety rope attached to her. The little girl effortlessly climbed to the top and seized the prize, drawing envy and applause from many children. Zendaya, waving the prize in her hand, was hopping excitedly on stage. "Daddy, Mommy, Benny, I got it! I'm the first. Hurray!"

Even though Benedict couldn't participate in the final event, the upward curve of his lips betrayed his emotions. He responded to Zendaya with a haughty tone, "Not bad." Gwendolyn also clapped her hands and praised, "Zendaya, you're really amazing. Be careful coming down."

After coming down the stage, Zendaya ambled her way up to Benedict and presented the prize to him. "Benny, this is my gift to you. I'm not a child anymore. I can now help you obtain treasures!" In the minds of children, replaceing joy was a simple matter.

Especially when it came to such activities where they could show off in front of all the little kids.

There were tiny beads of sweat on Zendaya's forehead. With a smile, Gwendolyn took out a tissue to wipe them off for her.

Benedict took the red victory fruit she handed over with a hint of disdain, considering it a childish thing. He said aloofly, "Considering all the effort you put into climbing, I'll accept this gift."

Although he spoke arrogantly, he held onto the prize tightly, not letting go for even a moment.

Zendaya hugged him with a gleeful smile. The image of the two little ones embracing was incredibly heartwarming.

Benedict wore a cold expression. "Little girls are so annoying." Isn't it tiring to keep hugging all the time?

Once all the parents had finished their events, the kindergarten principal picked up the microphone and

made the official announcement.

"Thank you so much to all the parents who could make it to our kindergarten event today. I'm sure all of you were able to experience the joy of spending time with your children and working together with them. to complete the activities, weren't you?"

No sooner had the principal finished speaking than a child below excitedly chimed in, "Yes!"

He was a chubby boy with two small dimples on his face. His naive smile is so infectious that everyone in the room burst into laughter..

Even the usually cold Cedrick broke into a faint smile.

Leaning toward Gwendolyn's ear, Zendaya whispered, "Mommy, he's my best friend in kindergarten. I really enjoy playing with him. Whatever toys he brings, he always shares them with me."

"He's your friend? If he always takes good care of you, you must remember to return the favor. You absolutely cannot be a child who only knows how to receive instead of giving."

With a gentle tone that was brimming with affection, Gwendolyn lightly tapped on Zendaya's little nose as she spoke to her.

Zendaya nodded vigorously. "I understand, Mommy!"

Mother and daughter were still whispering to each other when they were suddenly called out by the kindergarten principal. "May I invite the child who won first place in all four activities today, Zendaya, and her parents to come on stage to receive the certificate of honor and a medal? Please, everyone, give them a round of applause."

Upon hearing that she was to go on stage to receive an award, Zendaya eagerly pulled her father, mother, and older brother along with her.

The family of four stood on the stage. Their striking good looks made them incredibly eye-catching. One couldn't even begin to describe how outstanding they were.

It wasn't only the parents, but the kindergarten teachers also had their eyes fixed on them, expressing their

awe.

"Indeed, children born to a beautiful couple tend to be far more outstanding than others. Their family probably doesn't have much to worry about, right?"

Someone in the crowd recognized Gwendolyn and Cedrick. Surprised at the realization, the person covered their mouth and asked the person next to them, "Don't these two look just like Ms, Harris and Mr. Jenson? They're the spitting image of the photos in the news. Could it be...?"

"But those two are a power couple who run top-tier corporations. How is that possible?"

"It really is Mr. Jenson and Ms. Harris!"
