A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 313

He felt a little embarrassed when he noticed the baby's diaper seemed heavy. When he left the mansion, Tami had specifically taught him when to change the diaper.

He only hesitated for a few seconds before he made the decision of changing the diaper himself, instead of waking up Maria.

Once Bob finished his bottle, he gently lay the baby in the centre of the cradle and helped him remove the heavy diaper.

Sure enough, his diaper was on the brim of leaking.

James took a clean diaper in his hand and carefully studied its use.

Fortunately, he soon figured out how to tape the diaper. James was glad that he had paid attention earlier on when Maria put the diaper on Bob. It was not a difficult task for him at all now he had to do it all by himself.

It was already half an hour later, when he finally changed the baby's diaper and clothes.

James put the smiling baby back to Maria's side and stretched his arms to relax his sore muscle. For him, it was more difficult to take care of the child than to talk about a deal worth hundreds of millions.

The three of them stayed silent for the whole night, and thanks to James's consideration, Maria didn't wake up until dawn.

When she woke up early in the morning, Maria immediately regained her consciousness and thought of Bob.

Her beloved child.

She suddenly opened her eyes.

Panicked and worried, she looked around and found that she was the only one lying on the bed. The father and the son had both disappeared.

As for when they disappeared, she had absolutely no clue.

Maria patted her head in distress. Why did she sleep so soundly last night?

Deeply worried about her baby, she didn't have time to wash her face or brush her teeth. She put on her pyjamas in a hurry, took her phone and dialed James' number. As soon as the line was connected, she shouted, "Where is the baby?"

After a short pause, James replied unpleasantly, "Hold on now, shouldn't you ask me where I am?" He didn't understand why she always put Bob first.

Maria pressed her lips into a thin line. She found his question ridiculous. "So where are you?"

"We are having breakfast."

"Oh, you know how to make formula milk for Bob?" She breathed a sigh of relief and went to the bathroom.

James looked at the little guy who kept sucking on the bottle greedily and replied casually, "John made it."

"Alright. I will be with you shortly."

"No need. You can sleep a little longer."

"No. It's time for me to go to the company anyway." She still had some work to finish.

"Sure," he nodded.

When Maria went downstairs, the father and the son had already finished their breakfast.

She asked him curiously, "Did he wake up last night?"

"No." In order not to let her know what he had done to the baby, he calmed down deliberately and lied to her face.

"No wonder I didn't wake up." It turned out that Bob didn't make any noise last night, so she had a good uninterrupted sleep.

"Who changed his clothes then?"

James seemed to be a little impatient with all her questions, he quickly said, "You have too many questions. The breakfast is getting cold."

She cast a glance in his direction and shut up. Apparently he didn't like her being this inquisitive. Maria pouted her ruby lips and went straight into the kitchen.

James then looked at the little guy beside him and chuckled, "You are so lucky to have my personal service. I never dressed my own son, you know? You have come to the right place. My grandfather happened to find you and brought you here."

As if he could understand his words, Bob drooled as he opened his mouth and gave him a wonderful smile.

Staring at his watery mouth, James was lost at words. He couldn't deny he was one cute little bubble.

After breakfast, James drove Maria and Bob to the mansion and left Bob there.

The two of them had been very busy recently. Looking after a helpless baby for one day was okay, but two days were impossible.

After settling down the baby, Maria headed straight to the company in the car of James.

Before getting off the car, James deliberately locked the door. When Maria asked him to open the door, he grinned, "I didn't have fun with you last night because of the baby. Compensate me tonight."

"Not tonight. I have to attend a banquet." It should be very late when she came back home.

A banquet? James glanced at her and asked, "Held by Mr. Huang?"

It was not necessary to bring a female companion to the birthday party. In fact, James and his brothers didn't bring any dates to the venue, they all showed up on their own.

Norman only showed up briefly. Once he took Maria in, he quickly left even before the ship sailed out.

So when James arrived at the venue, he spotted Maria immediately across the room. She was in a black evening dress, chatting vividly with several men around her. She had a glass of wine in her hand and her smile was dangerously attractive.

The moment James showed up, he caused a stir among the crowds, just like when Maria and Norman showed up not long ago.

With a stone cold face, James stared at the graceful woman who was surrounded by a bunch of flirting men. Instead of rushing over, he was waiting for her to come to him.

However, he was left to be disappointed this evening.

When Maria first arrive at the venue, she bumped into Joslyn.

For many days straight, Joslyn had been avoiding her on any occasions, leaving her no chance to avenge Sandra.

However, as soon as James and his brothers showed up, Maria noticed that Joslyn was staring at one of them admiringly.

When she was about to move away, she heard someone whispering, "It's not a secret that Mr. Zheng's daughter has a crush on Mr. Lu. Just look at her. She is so anxious to talk to Mr. Lu now."

Another voice exclaimed, "Aha, I heard the gossip too. It turns out to be true!"

Maria curled her lips and thought to herself, 'How interesting. Joslyn fancies Lawrence?' She soon came up with a plan.

Without any delay, she put her wine glass aside, lifted the hemline of her evening dress and elegantly walked up to a man.

Ethan elbowed his mate and teased, "James, here is your sassy girl. She must be looking for you."

Taking a casual glance at the woman who was getting closer and closer, James replied calmly, "Good."

He felt slightly relieved that she finally decided to come over and talk to him.

Unexpectedly, she walked crossed the room and stopped in front of Lawrence.

James' eyes immediately darkened, he sneered, "Maria!"

Maria heard him and knew he was mad, but she had something more important to deal with now.
