A Vengeful Ex-Wife novel Chapter 351

Summer was amused by Maria's words and thought that what she said was reasonable, but she said, "I don't want to see him for the time being."

"To be honest, his mistress is pregnant, and you two have already separated from each other. He won't stay in your house, will he?" Maria said. There was no need for Jamir to maintain the pretense of marriage anymore. What was the point of him going back home now?

"Maybe," Summer said uncertainly.

Maria didn't ask Summer if she wanted to punish the shameless couple, thinking that it would be better to wait for a while.

Anyway, it wouldn't be too late to deal with them after Summer officially got a divorce.

In the building of HL Group, James walked out of his office and was about to enter the elevator when he heard someone call him.

Turning around, he saw Gary.

"What's up?"

Gary hurriedly approached him and said in a low voice, "Mr. Xi, there is a rumor in H City these days that Mr. Shen has an illegitimate son." Of course, this was strangely familiar to when James had come to the company with Bob in his arms, and employees had gossiped that he had an illegitimate child.

Smelling something fishy, Gary had rushed here to report it to James.

However, James' first reaction was to frown and ask, "What does that have to do with me?"

Gary anxiously replied, "Mr. Xi, many people witnessed Mr. Shen going to his company with the child in his arms. Besides, I haven't heard any news of Mr. Shen having a woman around him! How could a child suddenly appear?"

A thought suddenly occurred to James. 'Could the child be Bob?¹

Pursing his lips in displeasure, he looked into Gary's eyes, as if silently asking him the question.

Gary nodded. "Mr. Xi, we can investigate it. Maybe it's exactly what you are thinking."

"Okay, go ahead," James agreed. It was very likely that this so-called illegitimate child of Norman's was actually Bob. Maria wouldn't have sent the child away from H City, and since she had a good relationship with Norman, it was very likely that she had asked him to look after Bob.

"Yes, sir!" Gary left and began to arrange people to tail Norman.

James lingered there, pressing his lips into a thin line as a flash of resentment flickered in his eyes. 'Maria, how dare you send my son to Norman?'

It had to be said that every single one of James' assistants was very efficient. This included Lorenzo, Summer, and Gary.

Within a few hours, Gary returned to James to report all the information that he had dug up. "Mr. Xi, the child that Mr. Shen was carrying looks exactly like Bob!"

Hearing that, James kept silent, and complex emotions swam around in his deep eyes.

After a moment, he ordered in a deep voice, "Go there with our men." "Yes, sir."

"Wait!" Just when Gary was about to leave, James stopped him.

"What's wrong, Mr. Xi?"

"I'll come too," he replied. He wanted to go there in person.

Norman's villa was located in the north of the city. That evening, after confirming that Norman wouldn't be at home, James secretly went to the destination with a group of people that he had selected.

His face soured as soon as he found out that there were no security guards at the gate of the villa. This was the place his son was staying in, but there wasn't even a guard to protect him!

When he stepped into the villa, the sight that greeted him was even more surprising and suspicious. The house seemed to be completely empty.

He took his men to the second floor and asked them to check every room. Finally, they found the child in a bedroom, sleeping in his crib.

On the bed next to him lay a maid, who was also sleeping soundly.

James calmly picked up the baby and held him in his arms. The little boy opened his eyes in a daze. But when he saw the familiar face in front of him, his eyes widened in happy recognition.

For James, this encounter was completely different from all the other times he had seen Bob. In the past, he hadn't known that Bob was his son, but now he did. Thinking of that, his lips curled into a smile. This was the son he had with Maria!

Bob laughed at him and waved his hands excitedly.

Holding him with one arm, James raised his other hand and gestured to the people behind him.

After learning that information, she didn't think too much and just carried on with her work.

Since their sales volume had far exceed the expectations on the first day itself, Maria was in a good mood. She called James and said in a cheerful tone, "Mr. Xi, would you like to have dinner with me tonight? It's my treat."

"What's the occasion?"

She chuckled and explained, "The sales of our new product are much better than I expected."

"Oh? Really?" James closed his laptop and focused on talking to her.

"Yeah! A foreign-owned company has placed an order of one hundred million dollars. Our factory will be very busy from now on."

"One hundred million dollars? Wow, that's a really big order."

However, he still hadn't answered her question. "So, do you want to have dinner with me or not?" Maria pressed.

"Of course," he answered with a smile.

"Great, it's a plan. How about I cook for you tonight?" Maria felt like she was floating on air. At this moment, there was nothing she couldn't do, including making a lot of dishes for him.

"Sure, whatever you like."

Feeling satisfied, Maria hung up the phone. After getting her work in order, she left the office.

The kitchen in James' villa was well-equipped with a variety of utensils and ingredients. Moreover, she had called the servants in advance to tell them what groceries to buy.

When James arrived at the villa at seven o'clock in the evening, Maria was busy cooking in the kitchen.

When she saw him approach, she greeted him in a hurry and then turned her attention back to the food that she was making.

James walked into the kitchen and embraced her from behind, wrapping his arms around her waist. Then, he leaned in, smelled her hair, and said, "Thank you."
