Chapter 123 

I leaned closer to Willow and Took a bite, playing along. Upon meeting het eagri piče, Lexaggerated ing reaction and said, “Wow, this is so delicious.” 

Willow was satisfied with my performance. “Isn’t it?” 

She said this and was about to continue eating 

Zane pretended to be jealous, and uwid, “You’ve only giving it to Mommy and not me 

Willow quickly took the shrimp she had almost eaten and offered it to Zane Instead. 

She said seriously, “I’m just helping you blow on it so it won’t be too hot for you” 

Zane pretended not to notice her real thoughts. Thank you, Willow.” 

There were a lot of snacks, but the portions were small. They were just enough for the three of us 

Willow patted her full belly, happily saying “Good thing I listened to Daddy, or I wouldn’t have been able to finish them all!” 

Zane chuckled at Willow’s little grown–up art and said, “Let’s go for a walk 

Otherwise, she might upset her stomach since she ate a little too much today. It would also be uncomfortable for her to sleep later 

Though Willow thought staying here was more comfortable, she knew Zane wouldn’t harm her, so she obediently got up. 

I walked beside her, softhe asking, “What do you want to eat tomorrow

Tsuggested, “How about barbeque?” 

Stw quickly agreed, “Sure!” 

She grabbed my hand, walking down the street with a confident stride. 

I looked down at her and smiled. 

Suddenly, I heard someone calling my name. 

I turned toward the voice. 

Gavin’s gaze swept over Zane and Willow before he looked at me with discontent. “You’re really heatless, aren’t you?” 

“You just divorced Steven and already found someone else‘ 

Only after seeing this scene did healer why Steven was so upset when he mentioned me. It was true that I had inly moved on. 

“Steven’s no better. He found a new wife even before the divorce,” I replied, unaffected by their criticism of me. 

He smiled as 1 responded, “If I’m not mistaken, Jessica’s baby is already a few months along. 

“Since you’re so righteous, speaking up for Steven when you see with someone of the opposite sex and a child, you must have tushed over to hide Steven when you learned that he cheated on me, right?” 

Gavin remembered how used to be. I was always gentle and accomodating I always put on a smile no matter how harsh their words were. 

He was taken aback. What was 

out now? Was she actually arguing back?
