The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

Chapter 752 He Is A Good Man

As Zendaya wanted to visit the dolphin named Juju, all of them headed over to the dolphinarium.

Whitney had worked at the dolphinarium for a long time before, and no one was more familiar with that place than

her.

She smiled and said to Gwendolyn who was standing beside her, “This little dolphin here is Juju. Juju is the brightest

in color and has the roundest head among all the dolphins here. She’s very clever! She’ll giggle at Zendy, play ball

with her, and perform cute underwater tricks for her. She’s Zendy’s best friend at the oceanarium. That other

dolphin was bought by Charles to keep Juju company.”

Gwendolyn stood at the edge of the pool and watched the dolphin frolicking in the water as she listened to

Whitney’s introduction.

Juju let out happy, high–pitched squeals when she caught sight of Zendaya. She immediately swam straight toward

her and poked her little round head above the water for the little girl to pet.

Zendaya had not seen her dolphin friend in a long while, and she giggled happily as she stroked Juju’s smooth skin.

Benedict watched his sister from his perch in his father’s arms. There was no telling what he was thinking.

Cedrick noticed his son’s expression and asked, “Would you like to meet Zendy’s dolphin friend? She looks very

friendly.”

Benedict shook his head and lifted his chin proudly. “I don’t like such silly animals! I only like the fierce ones that can

eat a person in one bite! Roar!”

His little face scrunched up adorably as he imitated a shark’s bite.

Cedrick stroked the boy’s cheek dotingly.

Knowing he didn’t mean what he said, Cedrick asked, “Oh, but I really want to meet Juju. Do you want to go with me

and say hello?”

“All right,” Benedict agreed reluctantly, his brows furrowed.

Cedrick chuckled lightly and lowered Benedict to the ground. Then, holding his little hand, they walked together to

the edge of the water.

Zendaya, who was playing with Juju by the poolside, enthusiastically introduced Benedict to the dolphin, “This is my

twin brother. He’s a very clever and handsome boy! Can he pet you, Juju?”

Juju swam in happy circles before approaching Benedict. She poked her head out of the water, inviting the little boy

to touch her.

Benedict was a stunned and a little nervous.

However, with Gwendolyn, Cedrick, Charles, and the others watching him, he blinked rapidly and tried to swallow his

fear.

“I don’t wanna touch her. She’s a silly animal!” he said petulantly.

Cedrick grabbed his little hand and placed it on the dolphin’s head.

Juju’s skin was smooth and cool to the touch.

It was his first time touching a dolphin, and Benedict was fascinated by the sensation. He could not help. stroking

Juju a few more times. Cedrick removed his hand and stepped back, smiling to himself.

Zendaya went over and taught her brother how to play with Juju. The two of them chatted happily among

themselves with Juju between them.

Cedrick and Charles stood watching the children with contented smiles on their faces like two proud fathers.

Gwendolyn and Whitney stood not too far away. They, too, were watching the children play.

“Gwendolyn, you’ve known Charles for many years, right?” Whitney asked, unable to suppress the curiosity any

longer.

Gwendolyn nodded. “We were very close as kids. We often spent time at the Newton residence.”

“Are you not close anymore?” Whitney asked timidly.

“Well, we’re both adults now. We have our own lives, and of course, we don’t spend as much time together

anymore.” Gwendolyn replied bluntly.

“I see…”

Whitney looked at the ground, trying to decipher Gwendolyn’s feelings for Charles.

She seems to have completely let go of Charles.

But what about Charles? Has he let go of her?

“You two are dating now, right? So, how do you feel about him? Do you see a future together?” Gwendolyn asked,

interrupting Whitney’s thoughts.

“I really like him. He was a teacher in Tayhaven for a while back then, and from the moment I first saw him, I

couldn’t get him out of my head. I chased him all the way here to Chanaea and worked at this dolphinarium for a

while. I waited for him for five years. Finally, I have the chance to be with him,” Whitney confessed.

Gwendolyn was surprised. “I didn’t know there was so much history between the two of you. So, you’ve been

waiting for him for five years ever since Tayhaven, Such perseverance! I don’t think I could ever do that! Anyway, I

believe Charles won’t let you down!”

The color suddenly drained from Whitney’s face.

Gwendolyn immediately noticed the change and reached out to pat her hand lightly.

“Charles can be quite stubborn. Once he sets his eyes on something, it’s hard to change his mind, but he’s a good

man and he can tell who’s genuine and who’s not! Once he realizes his feelings for you, he won’t let an amazing girl

like you slip away. You two are still in the early stages of dating, and I believe this is at promising start.”

Most girls would not have the courage or the patience to leave their homes to pursue their love.

Gwendolyn was sure that Charles would not meet another girl like Whitney.

Whitney lowered her head and smiled bitterly.

She held Gwendolyn’s hand and said, “Gwendolyn, I think we could be friends. Can we exchange phone. numbers?

Maybe we can have dinner together next time.”

“Of course!”

Gwendolyn, too, really liked the other woman. She was pretty, sincere, and fun to chat with.

The two women pulled out their phones and exchanged numbers.

While the women were chatting away, the others were having a fun time with the dolphins.

Zendaya’s affections had made Juju the leader of the pod of dolphins in the pool. Juju only needed to squeal, and

the other dolphins would answer her call, swimming up to the edge of the pool where Benedict and Zendaya were

standing.

The four of them played ball with the dolphins.

The hours flew by, and soon, the sky turned dark.

Benedict had wanted to see the entire oceanarium before proposing his renovation ideas. He had not expected to

be so fascinated by the clever dolphins that he would spend his entire day at the dolphinarium.

When he noticed that the sky had grown dark, Cedrick glanced at his watch and said, “You guys must be getting

hungry. It’s late. Let’s go now. We can come back next time.”

Benedict frowned unhappily.

“I haven’t seen any other animals besides the dolphin He pouted. His plan to renovate the oceanarium was going to

fail.

Cedrick dabbed his little hands with a towel and rubbed them between his own big palms to warm them..

“We’ve run out of time today, but there’s always next time. I know you want to renovate the oceanarium. but that’s

not a project that can be accomplished in a day or two. Mommy and I will take you and Zendy here again soon,

okay?”

Benedict had always been a sensible boy. He did not argue anymore.

He looked at Charles who was helping Zendaya dry her hands and said firmly, “Fine, but I won’t give up on my plan

to renovate this oceanarium. You should be prepared to spend money!”

Charles nodded. “No problem. Even if you want the stars in the sky, I’ll do my best to pluck them for you.”

Benedict snorted. “Don’t talk big! I won’t believe your lies! It’s impossible to reach the stars!”

Charles smiled and replied, “Okay, okay, whatever you say, Benny.”

He would always be patient with the boy.
