A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 493

Coy couldn't even beat a little girl. Just the thought of it filled him with humiliation.

Mona, with her hair in a single pigtail, offered him a lion-shaped toy. "Coy, this is my gift for you."

Coy gave the toy one quick glance. Then he crossed his arms over his chest and snorted. "I don't want it. I have a cabinet full of toys at home." His father had bought him every one of them.

At the memory of it, he began to miss his father.

Mona, who had been eager to give him this gift, made no effort to hide her disappointment. Her mother had told her that Coy was fond of lions. She had expected him to be delighted. 'Why doesn't he want it now?' she wondered. "You have to accept my gift and thank me for it," she said, her tone a little stern.

"No way!"

After saying that, Coy turned around and left.

Mona trotted after him and shouted, "You have to accept it!"

"I don't want it so I won't accept!" he spat back, annoyed.

"Let's have a duel. If you lose, you have to take it!"

Coy knew that he couldn't beat Mona. "I can't fight with you. My mommy said that I am not supposed to beat a girl."

"Well, I think you are lying because you are afraid you won t win."

Mona's words hit where it hurt the most. Coy blushed crimson with embarrassment.

He took a deep breath, rolled up his sleeves and said, "Fine! If that's what you think, then let's fight. I want to show you I am not afraid of you!"

"Okay!"

As they fought, one of the teachers saw them. She hurried to stop them. Mona had just tripped over Coy. Lying on the ground, he was forced to take over the toy from her.

For the first time in his life, he saw everyone laugh at him. Annoyed, he swore to himself that he would defeat all the children in the kindergarten in a week's time.

On the other hand, Maria and James' relationship began to improve gradually after she had given birth to the baby.

James made it a point to take good care of her, giving her everything she wanted. However, an unfortunate incident happened when Maria was only seven months pregnant.

On her way back from the company, she met with a car accident. The driver of the other car was drunk.

Heavily bleeding, she was taken into the hospital. If she wanted to keep the baby, she had to have a caesarean section prior to the due date. It was the only way for the baby to survive.

Soon, the surgery was done and the baby came to the world.

Everyone was under the impression it was a boy.

However, they were stunned to realize this time it was a girl.

Holding his little daughter in his arms, James could not help his tears of gratitude rolling down his face.

As it was a premature birth, the baby was very small, weighing about three pounds. Her cries were weak too, akin to that of a kitten.

Soon, the doctor took the baby away and put her into the incubator.

The day the little girl stepped into the Xi family, she lived on an expensive incubator.

Staying near the incubator, James kept a close watch on his daughter. In fact, he skipped sleep for several days for her sake. The sole duty of his life became caring for his daughter and wife.

He ensured his baby was given the most advanced type of incubator. It cost him more than ten thousand dollars per day. According to the little girl's physical condition, she had to stay in it for several weeks before it was safe. In addition to this, he had pay several other medical fees. Within a few days of her arrival, she had already spent millions of dollars.

She had been fortunate enough to be born in the Xi family. James was the sort of father who wanted nothing but the best for his family. What pained him was to watch her in pain. Everybody felt sorry and their hearts wept for her.
