Cedrick was taken aback but quickly responded, “Of course I refuse to sleep in the study. I want to sleep on the other half of your bed.”

Cedrick was rendered speechless.

That was simply the cruelest punishment in the world to him.

He quickly responded, “Don’t worry, my dear wife. These are no more than childish games. They’re not even worth mentioning.”

“The game is about to start. Could all mothers and children please take a seat according to your names?”

Since it was a rare treat to play such an interesting game with her mother, Zendaya was beyond excited, enthusiastically picking up the paintbrush and starting to paint on the canvas with great gusto.
