Chapter 10
Cynthia took out her phone and asked very seriously,“What are Mr. Ferguson’s dietary restrictions?”
Braiden glanced at her phone, the screen displaying a notepad.
“Then you better listen carefully.”
Cynthia nodded.
Braiden withdrew his gaze without a word, “I don’t eat too spicy, I don’t eat seafood that doesn’t suit my taste, I don’t like food that is too sour or too sweet, I don’t like onions, ginger, or garlic in my dishes, but I still need that flavor, otherwise the dish won’t taste good…”
Braiden said a lot, and Cynthia took note of it all.
“Okay, Mr. Ferguson, rest assured, I guarantee to satisfy you.”
Braiden glanced at her leisurely.
Cynthia saw that she had arrived at her residential area. As she opened the car door, she said, “Well, I’ll head back now, Mr. Ferguson. Take care on the way.”
Braiden kept watching her back,
Didn’t anyone think he was picky?
Braiden chuckled softly, watching as the lights in Cynthia’s house turned on before driving away.
The next morning, Cynthia received a call from Jonathan..
“Cynthia, did I wake you up?
“No, Grandpa, I have already woken up. Did you need me?”
Isn’t that Grandpa coming back? Grandpa misses you, you and Zaiden, come to our house.”
Today was the weekend, no need to go to work.
Jonathan was not feeling well, so she didn’t even come back for her and Zaiden’s wedding.
This time when he came back, he must have heard about the wedding, and it was obvious that he knew what was going on when he came to find her at this time.
Jonathan was the only person in the Gwinnett family who was especially kind to her, so when he came back, Cynthia couldn’t help but go see him.
“Okay, grandpa, I’ll tidy up and come over.”
“Okay, I’ll wait for you.”
After hanging up the phone, Cynthia went to tidy up.
She wouldn’t call Zaiden, whether he goes or not is his business, nothing to do with her. When grandpa asks later, she can find a reason to evade.
Who knew that as soon as I came out, I saw Zaiden’s Koenigsegg parked at the entrance of the community.
The car window rolled down, and Zaiden coldly said, “Get in.”
Belinda was sitting in the passenger seat next to the car window.
“No, I drove there myself.”

“Are you trying to let Grandpa see that we’ve been at odds recently, and his health is not good?”
“Was it me who made him unwell?”
Cynthia did not want to tolerate it and fought back directly.
Still not getting along!
Is it just a simple quarrel?
“Don’t beat around the bush. Do you want me to carry you into the car?”
Cynthia certainly didn’t want him to touch her. His hands and that body had been touched by Belinda countless times, she found it dirty.
Cynthia directly pulled open the back door to get in.
Zaiden said to Belinda beside him, You go sit in the back.”
Oh!
Belinda was
as about to open the car door and get out.
Cynthia had a cold expression on her face, “No need, I’ll sit in the back.”
“You must let Grandpa know about us, making Grandpa feel uncomfortable?”
Zaiden seemed to have little patience for her.
Cynthia ignored him and opened the car door, sitting in the back seat..
Zaiden glanced at her through the rearview mirror, his face clearly showing displeasure, and drove the car quickly.
Not knowing what had happened in front, the car suddenly braked again, causing Cynthia, who was sitting in the back without
seatbelt, to hit her head directly on Zaiden’s seat, hurting her badly.
“Cynthia, are you okay?”
Belinda turned her head and asked with concern.
In Cynthia’s view, it was really fake.
She ignored Belinda and instead stared at the man in the rearview mirror, her eyes sharp.
“Zaiden, is this fun?”
Zaiden did not respond and continued driving normally.
Throughout the journey, Cynthia didn’t say a word.

Belinda occasionally tried to strike up a conversation with Zaiden, intentionally showing how good their relationship was. Cynthia kept looking outside, pretending not to hear.
They arrived at the Gwinnett’s mansion.
When getting off the car, Zaiden put his hand on Cynthia’s shoulder, about to lead her inside, but was ruthlessly pushed away by Cynthia.
Before Zaiden could say anything, Cynthia had already walked in first.
‘Grandpa.”
On the sofa, Jonathan had been waiting for a while.
Despite Jonathan usually being very authoritative towards others, he was not like that with Cynthia. He had a big smile on his

face, as if he was looking at his own granddaughter.
“Cynthia, you’re here. Oh, why did you lose weight again? Did Zaiden bully you? Tell grandpa, I’ll teach him a lesson.”
Cynthia had not answered yet when Zaiden and Belinda walked in.
“Grandpa.”
“Grandpa.”
Jonathan’s face quickly turned cold, especially when he saw Belinda behind him.
Belinda subconsciously lowered her head out of fear.
“Zaiden, didn’t I make it clear enough? I only asked you and Cynthia to come over.”
Belinda took the initiative to step forward and handed over the prepared gift.
Mama
“Grandpa, it’s me who wanted to come along, don’t blame Zaiden. I realized it’s been a while since I last saw you, so I came to
visit you.
“Put things there, you are still resting, it’s better not to always come out, you go see what your aunt is doing. I’ll talk to Zaiden and Cynthia.”
“Yes.”
Belinda didn’t dare say too much, so she quickly left.
Jonathan looked at Zaiden, his face growing colder, gesturing for him to sit down.
But sitting on the side, unable to get close to them.
“I have heard about the wedding, Zaiden, you are confused. How could you leave Cynthia alone at the wedding and run away? Even if it’s Belinda’s matter, can’t you ask someone else to handle it? It’s your wedding after all‘
Yes, Grandpa, I know I was wrong.”
Zaiden was a very filial person, always obedient to his grandfather’s words.
“You knew you were wrong, what’s the use of knowing? Look at how people are talking about Cynthia online. Even if you block the online news, what about the gossip during tea time? How can you let her face society in the upper class?”
Zaiden glanced at Cynthia.
Cynthia quickly realized that he must have misunderstood Jonathan’s return as her going to Jonathan to complain. As soon as Jonathan came back, he stood up for Cynthia, and Zaiden was clearly angry
“You don’t need to look at Cynthia. None of these things happened. Cynthia never called me. Do you really think you can get away with it?”
“Grandpa, since the thing has already happened and passed, let’s not talk about it
anymore.”
“Won’t speak? Didn’t you hear what I just said? Cynthia’s face has been completely lost by you, how do you plan to compensate?
Zaiden was about to speak when he heard Belinda’s scream coming from the kitchen.
Zaiden stood up directly.
Jonathan was very angry, Zaiden, what are you doing?”
Zaiden didn’t say anything, came to the kitchen, and saw Belinda cut her hand, with her finger bleeding.
