Chapter 7
The two people were very close, and from the assistant’s position, it looked like Cynthia was about to kiss at any moment.
She quickly covered her mouth, “Oh no, if the boss of their family can’t find another way, is he really going to sacrifice himself?”
Our eyes met.
Braiden’s mouth still carried a faint smile.
Ms. Shepherd, are you planning to seduce me?”
Cynthia was taken aback.
Braiden took her hands away one by one I’m not interested in being a third wheel.”
Cynthia said,”
Realizing this, Cynthia wanted to speak.
“Mr. Ferguson…
I heard someone shouting “Mr. Ferguson,” and suddenly a lot of people came, all of them Braiden’s business partners.
He came over here to see these people.
Braiden glanced at her, indicating that he had something else to do, and asked if she could leave.
Cynthia walked away dejectedly.
She didn’t go to the golf course, but instead waited nearby.
The assistant saw her maintaining a posture for an hour, sitting there biting the straw on top of the juice box, looking at Braiden, almost like a sculpture.
Finally, Cynthia got up. Braiden’s business partners left, and she was about to go over when she saw Zaiden appear in front of
Braiden.
“Mr. Ferguson, thank you for what you did for Cindy. I owe you a favor.”
Braiden took off his gloves and said to him coldly,”
“Cindy’s company was one that I really respected, and I worked with her not because of you.”
Zaiden and Braiden’s companies happened to be in two different directions, and the two of them had no intersection at all, but they were both in the same city and had seen each other at various banquets, so they naturally knew each other.
Braiden didn’t want this favor, and Zaiden didn’t care either.
Braiden, whom Zaiden disliked, always felt that he was a bastard, with a disparity in his identity, and tried to avoid contact with him as much as possible.
I’ll say it again, as long as it’s not Cynthia.”
After Zaiden finished speaking, Belinda came over and linked her arm with his, then they left.
When Cynthia walked over, the first thing she heard was this sentence.
The assistant had already noticed the chill emanating from Cynthia and was about to speak when Braiden and Cynthia locked
eyes.
Braiden didn’t pay attention and continued to tidy up himself, as if the work here was already done and he was ready to leave.
Cynthia came up to him, her face a little cold.

efore getting married, Zaiden had told her that her company didn’t make much money every year. When they were dating, he ould let her do whatever she wanted, but the Gwinnett family was quite strict, and once they were married, she couldn’t go at and show her face.

Cynthia comforted her, “Don’t think too much, I’m going to work.”
“Okay.”
After work, Cynthia drove back to the new house she shared with Zaiden, ready to discuss the divorce.
Upon opening the door, she saw Belinda dressed up as a rabbit standing in front of her.
“Zaiden, you…Cynthia?”
Belinda always gave people a gentle and weak feeling, always making people can’t help but feel sorry for her.
This bunny costume suits her especially well, with a look of innocence in her eyes. Cynthia has known Zaiden for so many years, and she never knew he had a liking for this.
“Oh, Cynthia, don’t get me wrong, I’ve been resting lately. Zaiden was worried about me being alone at home, so he asked me
to move in.”
The clothes I’m wearing were also bought by Zaiden. He said it was too much trouble to bring the clothes home for me. You shouldn’t stand here anymore, come in quickly.”
Belinda stepped aside, assuming the air of a hostess.
If Zaiden wasn’t there, I would have left first.”
Cynthia was not in the mood to see the lovey–dovey couple. She had only been gone for a few days, and Belinda had already moved in.
Upon entering, they might see Belinda’s personal belongings in the room that used to belong to them.
She felt disgusted, but didn’t want to “vomit out” the food she had eaten a week ago.
“Cynthia…”
Belinda tried to stop her, but as soon as Cynthia turned around, she saw that Zaiden had already walked in.
He was not surprised that she appeared, as if her return was the most normal thing in the world.
He was ready to take off his shoes and go in.
Belinda said with a look of grievance, Zaiden, I don’t know what I said to make Cynthia angry just now. I tried to make her stay but she left without a word, and even pinched me. Look, it’s all red.”
Belinda also lifted her, arm up to show Zaiden.
Zaiden glanced over, his eyes filled with heartache, but at the moment he saw Cynthia, his expression changed.
“Cynthia, how many times have I told you that Belinda only has me as family? You can’t take care of her like I do, but you also can’t lay a hand on her.”
Cynthia looked at Belinda, there was a small trace of pride in her fragile face..
Cynthia smiled lightly and walked up to Belinda, then forcefully pinched her arm.
