The Ex and Her Riches novel (Gwendolyn and Maverick)

The situation at the basketball court became even more intense.

The two of them seemed to have just entered the real intense phase of their fight.

Previously, they were just warming up.

The sound of the punches scared Zendaya so much that she almost dropped the melon in her hand.

“Gosh! Uncle Charles and Uncle Nico are both bleeding! So scary!”

Benedict calmly remarked, “The blood on Uncle Nico’s body is mostly Charles’ blood. There is no way Charles can win against Uncle Nico.”

When he saw Zendaya’s face turn pale, he covered her eyes for her.

“Stop watching. You’re a kid, and you’re going to have a nightmare if you see something so gory.”

“Ugh… You’re also a kid! Why aren’t you scared?”

Benedict raised his chin, looking proud. “Because, I am your older brother, and I’m a man.”

Zendaya pursed her lips in dissatisfaction. “Then I’m not scared too. Although it is very intense and scary, I still want to see who wins! I won’t go anywhere and will sit here to watch the fight!”

She stopped eating the melon and watched the fight between Charles and Nico attentively.

Before the outcome of the bet could be decided, Gwendolyn and Cedrick arrived at the basketball court.

“Mommy! Daddy!” Zendaya ran over and clung to them. “How did you know we were here?”

Gwendolyn replied, “We went to Benny’s ward but didn’t see anyone there. We then asked Joshua and found out that you guys came here. So, here we are.”

“Oh. Let’s watch the fight together. I have some melon here too!”

Cedrick bent down to carry Zendaya with one hand, but his gaze remained fixed on the two men in the middle of the basketball court.

“What’s up with them? Why are they suddenly fighting?”

Zendaya answered, “Uncle Nico and Uncle Charles challenged each other. The loser will need to wear a dress out and have his pictures taken, as well as clean the lab’s bathroom for a month. Benny also added an extra penalty for Uncle Charles if he loses, which is to be Uncle Nico’s lackey for a month.”

Gwendolyn and Cedrick were speechless.

These two are fully grown men in their thirties. Why are they still so childish?

Gwendolyn looked at the two men on the court. Charles had injuries all over his body. It was obvious that he was at a disadvantage against Nico, yet he was still so stubborn.

“They should know when to stop. Why are they still taking it so seriously?” Gwendolyn asked with a serious expression.

Benedict walked over and explained, saying, “Charles and Uncle Nico have already signed liability waivers. There’s even a lawyer involved as a judge.”

Gwendolyn knew her own child well. “Was this your idea?”

Benedict nodded calmly. “Yeah. Uncle Nico said that he and Charles had challenged each other many years ago, but they have both forgotten about it due to their busy schedules. Since they are free today, they are just going to do it.”

Cedrick recalled and said, “Oh, yeah.”
