A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 495

At noon the next day, James chased after Coy and beat him up for cheating.

He had deceived James into eating a plate of braised pork in brown sauce the previous day. And then, he had broken his promise and refused to eat beef for lunch. To make things worse, he denied having promised to eat meat.

Priscilla was under the impression that her father and brother were playing games. She gave a great below of laughter and it echoed in the living room.

Maria, who was used to such scenes, paid no heed to it. After Coy was sent to the same kindergarten as Mona, she hadn't noticed any major change in him. Apart from the fact his martial art skills have improved, he was pretty much the same.

After being beaten, Coy went upstairs with a lump in his throat. He carried Priscilla in his arms as he went.

"Put her down!" James ordered from behind.

Coy stared at him straight in the eye and said, "I want to play with her."

"I am sure she doesn't want to play with a lying child!

"You can't decide for her." Then he looked at Priscilla and said softly, "Princess, do you want to play with me?"

"Coy," Priscilla uttered even though she couldn't make sense of the situation.

Coy snorted indignantly at James and said, "Do you hear that? She wants to play with me!"

Taking his daughter from his son's arms, James scolded him harshly, "Go back to your room and reflect on yourself!"

"No! I want Princess!"

Priscilla noticed her brother was weeping. She also began to cry. Perhaps she was feeling sorry for him.

At the sight of his little girl crying, James' heart softened at once. He coaxed Priscilla, "Don't cry."

"Coy," she uttered, still crying.

James had to put Priscilla back to the floor.

She staggered into Coy's arms. The brother and sister hugged each other and their faces broke into a smile.

Seeing the bond they shared, James was quite taken aback.

When the adults were absent, Bob went to Coy and asked, "Coy, do you want to come back to my kindergarten?"

Coy shook his head and answered decisively, "No! I find the present kindergarten very challenging. The previous one wasn't like this."

Bob contemplated over his brother's words and said, "I heard that you have a problem with Mona. You don't seem to like her. Is that true?"

"Yes. I prefer Renee from the class next door," Coy answered without any hesitation. At the thought of Renee, his lips curved into a smile. She was gentle, quite the opposite of Mona.

"Coy, we are men. We shouldn't dislike Mona. Her father often brings us interesting toys. If you act like this, her parents will be disappointed."

Listening to this, Coy frowned. He was a little reluctant, but in the end, he said, "All right! I will remember that."

"Be nice to Mona. I just asked the chef to make some cookies. I want you to give them to her. It could fix things."

"What if she won't eat them?" He was afraid she would reject his offer.

"Why wouldn't she?"

"Because she is a coward."

Bob looked at Coy and let out a helpless sigh. He knew who the real coward was. It wasn't Mona but his little brother. However, they were in good terms so he chose to keep his thoughts to himself. He wouldn't bring his brother down.

In the evening, after hanging up an important call, James lay on the bed. He held his daughter in his arms and narrated a story to her.

Bob and Coy had played with Priscilla for a while, but now they were in their room to sleep. Maria, on the other hand, was folding children's clothes.

Soon, Priscilla gave a huge yawn and fell asleep in her father's arms.

The room became quiet. Maria was the one who broke the silence. "I'll be on a business trip for a few days. I am going the day after tomorrow," she informed. DS Group was going to be listed soon. Her days were quite packed lately.
