A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 468

In JT Nunnery

Under a towering tree in the yard, two men who looked alike were sitting at a round table and having a conversation, while two children were playing tag and laughing beside them.

Averting his gaze from the children, Cooper said, "H City has been quite peaceful as of late. You can take over the company's affairs with full authority now."

After taking a sip of tea, James said, "No rush." Maria hadn't accepted him yet, so he wasn't in any hurry to regain his position in the company.

Hearing his answer, Cooper shook his head and smiled. "James, don't you want to have a niece?"

There were too many males in the Xi family already. There were three brothers of their generation, and if Arthur hadn't died, there would've been three of the next generation.

Cooper thought that this was a sign that he and Sandra should have a daughter.

Compared to a niece, what James wanted more was his own daughter.

But Cooper was right. It was time for him to think about his own marriage. "Do you already have a woman in mind?" said James.

"Yup."

"Who is she?"

"You've already met her before." Cooper looked into his eyes and said the girl's name.

James had indeed met the girl before. It was the same girl that Maria had been pushing onto Cooper. James grinned. "So, what's your plan?"

"She's gone abroad for a few days, and I'm planning to go there too. If I don't, I'm afraid she'll move on from me. Besides, it'll be a good chance to relax." In the past two years, while James was in a coma, Cooper had been working until midnight day after day.

At first, Sandra had often visited him and gave him food that she had prepared. But later on, her enthusiasm had gradually dwindled.

In the beginning, she had gone to see him every two or three days. And then it had become once a week, once every two weeks, and then once a month. And now, she stopped coming to see him.

Later on, whenever they met in public, she pretended not to see him.

He was well aware of why Sandra had given up on him. It wasn't because she didn't want to be with him anymore, but because he didn't respond to her at all.

"It seems that I have to speed this up," said James. Initially, he wanted to slow play Maria, but his brother's happiness was also important. That was why he must change his tactics.

"By the way, have you found out about the truth to Norman's identity?" Cooper still had mixed feelings about his younger brother.

"Yes, I have." It hadn't been long since James found out about it.

Just like everyone else, he had thought that Norman was their half-brother, and that they came from the same mother but different fathers.

But when he found out that Norman was actually his full-blooded younger brother, he realized that he didn't hate him that much.

"What's your plan?" asked Cooper.

James raised his eyebrows and said, "Shouldn't you be asking Dad about this? You should ask him what he plans to do about this. Only then will I know what to do with Norman Shen." 'Oh, wait! Norman Xi!'

Cooper chuckled. "I still haven't adjusted to the fact that I actually have a younger brother. It's all too sudden." But what could he do about it? He might have to dote on his younger brother. After all, James had done his duty as the eldest brother well. He must follow his example, and become a good elder brother, too.

"Don't you dare spoil that brat." James still hadn't forgotten how Norman seduced his wife before.

"Do you know that he often visited you when you were still comatose? Are you sure you don't want to try getting along with him?"

James poured a tea for both of them and replied flatly, "It's up to him to decide how our relationship will be."

If Norman were to acknowledge him as his elder brother and Maria as his sister-in-law, James would naturally treat him with the same level of respect.

But if Norman were to remain the same person he used to be, always urging Maria to kill him and trying to stir trouble between them behind his back, the fact that he was his younger brother wouldn't matter to him that much.

Cooper broke into laughter.

"Dad!" Sweat trickled down Coy's forehead as he threw himself into his father's arms.

James took out a piece of tissue, wiping the boy's sweat. "What's the matter?"

"Dad." Boston came over as well. "I want to take Coy home today. Is it okay?"

After thinking for a while, James realized that his decision didn't matter at all. "I don't really mind, but you should probably ask your mom for permission."
