Addicted To The Genius Lady With A Thousand Faces

Chapter 1056:

Their giggles filled the air, their eyes twinkling with joy. Marissa stole a glance at Connor, her eyes filled with reproach, her cheeks a deep shade of red. While the candy he offered was indeed a source of joy, accepting it so publicly was quite the ordeal.

At that moment, Lawrence and Lindsay made another request. “Daddy, you should have one too, so we can all share the sweetness together.”

With a warm smile, Connor squatted beside Marissa and gently caressed the children’s cheeks. “Alright, let’s share the sweetness together.”

He then unwrapped another candy bar and popped it into his mouth.

Their laughter grew louder, their joy more radiant.

The sight of this family of four, savoring candy together, created a touching tableau that enveloped everyone in a warm, cozy atmosphere, temporarily eclipsing any whispers of divorce.

However, amidst the warmth, Paul watched the scene unfold with a scowl, his face darkening with each passing moment.

Connor chuckled, ruffling the kids’ hair, then casually glanced over at Zayn, who felt like an icy arrow had pierced right through him.

Zayn was taken aback by the warning in Connor’s gaze.

Seeing that, Divya gripped Zayn’s wrist tighter. “I told you, Zayn—Tiffany’s with Connor. You can’t pursue her because she’s taken!”

Zayn pressed his lips into a thin line, remaining silent.

Frustrated, Divya tugged at his sleeve, urging him, “Are you trying to get yourself in trouble? Didn’t you see that Connor has sent us a warning? Come on. Let’s get out of here.”noveldrama

Despite his reluctance to leave, Zayn couldn’t risk defying Connor in this situation. Eventually, he conceded and let his mother drag him outside.

Once the McCoys left, Connor felt more at ease.

It wasn’t because Zayn posed any real threat, but Connor wanted Marissa to enjoy the rest of the event, and it would have been impossible with that douchebag sticking around.

Marissa felt relieved as Connor sent Zayn away. She despised the man so much that his absence allowed her to relax.

With Zayn and Divya gone, Connor returned his attention to the kids, who were enjoying their candies. But he noticed Paul’s frown as he watched them from across the hall.

That told him his father-in-law wasn’t too thrilled about the warm family moment they were sharing.

If Paul castigated him in front of everyone, there would be no easy way to smooth things over.

Luckily, Connor had the kids on his side as allies.
