Avoiding The Billionaire CHAPTER 24
Cynthia took him to the grocery store. Making noodles did not require that many ingredients. But the little boy was in a joyful mood, so she took him around the store. When they returned home, it was almost half past six. She feared that the little boy would be hungry, so she brought him home.Taking the elevator up to her floor, she unlocked the door and the little fellow went in. After he entered, the little boy stared at the clock. He was able to tell the time.“Zion, be good and sit in the living room. Don’t run about, okay? Mommy will be making dinner now.”“ I’ll be good.” The little fellow promised. Watching his mommy entered the kitchen with the bag of groceries, he turned to give the clock another glance. There was only a few minutes left. He quietly moved a small stool to the door. Climbing onto the stool, he stood up and looked through the peephole.Five minutes later, he caught sight of a tall, masculine figure stepping out of the elevator. The little boy let out a delight

All the while the little boy had been blowing on his noodles and did not notice the silent interactions going on between his daddy and mommy.Gabriel lowered his head to have a taste. Cynthia stole a glance at him while he took the first bite fearing that it would not suit the taste of Zion. But it appeared that he did not dislike it as he immediately took another bite. Apparently, it was to his liking.Cynthia was also starving. She lowered her head to eat while checking on the little fellow from time to time. In the silence, a harmonious atmosphere settled upon the family of three.Once they were done with their dinner and the utensils were washed up, it was already half past eight. Wiping her hands dry, Cynthia came out of the kitchen and saw the man sitting on the sofa playing building blocks with his son.The little boy looked up and said, “Mommy, I want to build a castle that looks as good as daddy’s.”Cynthia smiled and then said to him, “Head to your room and build it. I need

Because when this woman was raging in anger, he had this wild desire to tame it.“You…” Cynthia could not comprehend him. She deliberated over it and then said, “You wait. The supermarket downstairs is not closed yet. They should sell men’s pajamas. I’ll buy them for you. End of discussion.”“No need. Even if you buy them, I won’t wear it. It’s a waste of money.” The man cocked his eyebrow, persisting in his ways.Cynthia huffed. “I’ll buy it and you’ll have to wear them.” She then picked up her handbag, planning on leaving.“The supermarket is downstairs? Within this area?” Gabriel arched his brow and asked. Because it was already late, he wanted to make sure it was safe for her.“It’s right downstairs. Why? Do you want to go there yourself? You can’t. You have to look after our son.” Cynthia then opened the door to leave.“Be careful.” Gabriel's deep voice reached her ears.Cynthia closed the door. Did he just remind her to be careful? She couldn’t have heard it wrongly.Fortunately

This made him even more determined to drink from it. After the mug was filled, he turned to face her on purpose and drank the water from the mug in huge gulps.Watching his Adam’s apple bobbing up and down, she couldn’t help but swallow. Must he act like such a jerk?“You seemed to be parched too. Do you need a drink?” He arched his brow and asked.“No. I’m not thirsty.” She didn’t want to owe him one.“You’re not thirsty, but your body says otherwise. If you want me to quench your thirst, I must first get it up.” The man said.Seeing that he had made a tasteless innuendo, she swiftly shot him a glare. “Say it again and you’ll have to get out. Not every woman who sees you is a she-wolf which has been starving for centuries. I have no interest in men.”Gabriel narrowed his eyes. “Because of your ex-husband?”“It’s none of your business.” She said coldly.Gabriel scoffed. “It may be none of my business. But you’d better not take me for that scum of a man. He’s not even qualified to wipe

The little boy pushed open the door to his mommy’s bedroom and looked at his daddy who was lying in bed. He happily climbed onto it.Gabriel reached out and pulled the little fellow into his arms. The little fellow lay obediently beside his daddy and gazed up at his daddy’s handsome face. “Daddy, you didn’t sleep well last night?”“Yes.” Gabriel answered.“Why didn’t you sleep well?”“Because daddy is selective about the bed that I sleep in.”“What does that mean?”“It means that daddy is unable to sleep in an unfamiliar bed. So, kiddo, why don’t we go back to daddy’s place tonight?”The little boy was feeling very sorry for his daddy. Bobbing his head, he replied. “Okay, I’ll ask mommy to come with us.”Gabriel stroked the little boy’s head and gave a deep chuckle. “Alright.”When breakfast was ready, Gabriel got up and went into the toilet. On the shelf were a few toothbrushes — one for an adult and another for a child. There was one more that had not yet been opened. He took the on

What surprised her was the fact that Cynthia had a child. But this was a point in Angela’s favor. Single mothers did not hold much appeal to men.But were the rumors true — that Cynthia and Gabriel were an item?If that was indeed the case, then Gabriel really had poor taste, or it could be that Cynthia had concealed the truth from him. Gabriel had been captivated by Cynthia’s looks and was unaware that she already had a child!Just thinking of the sort of man whom Gabriel was, caused her heart to quicken. If Cynthia had even the slightest chance to grab hold of him and cling to his side, would she even let such a chance slip by?In actual fact, the opposite held true — Gabriel was the one being rejected.Angela’s wedding anniversary was coming up at the end of the month. The design of her ring had been sent to a foreign jeweler. They have already responded. Her ring would be completed and delivered to her within 10 days.She had to make a show of their conjugal bliss. Her diamond rin

Seeing that his great-grandpa and daddy were both laughing, the little boy dissolved into giggles. He then threw himself into the arms of Grandpa. While raising his head to look up at his white beard, he asked. “Great-grandpa, what long beard you have! May I touch it?”Grandpa had not held a child in his arms for a long time. He stretched his arms to lift the little boy up. At his side, Gabriel said with worry, “Grandpa, you don’t have to carry him.”“Why? You’re worried that I won’t be able to carry my great-grandson?” Grandpa then gazed fondly at the little fellow in his arms. He doted on his grandson, Gabriel, the most. This affection naturally extended to this little boy as well.Gabriel relented. He had been filled with apprehension on their way here but now he felt himself loosen up. It seemed that this little fellow had his own charm — everyone could not help but adore him.“Tell me, how have you been all these years? Did you have a hard time?” Grandpa asked while staring at hi

Thinking up to this point, Cynthia swiftly sat in front of the computer. Her slender fingers flew across the keyboard as she searched for information on the Yorks family.However, there were barely any information on the Yorks family. Her search yielded only two pages worth of information pertaining to the Yorks family. Cynthia was surprised. She clicked on an article that had been published three or four years ago. It contained only a brief summary regarding the struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family. It mentioned that there was a struggle for inheritance in the Yorks family but hardly any other detail was provided.Cynthia clicked on another link. A blogger had attempted to estimate Gabriel’s net worth — coming to a conclusion that it cannot be estimated.Cynthia randomly clicked on a few other links before losing interest. Apparently, the Yorks family was in control of the media, which was very much in line with Gabriel’s tyrannical disposition.At this moment, Linda knocked

Upon arriving at the car park, the bodyguard was waiting respectfully there. After getting on the car, when Cynthia saw him walking over, he did not seem to feel any pain from his wounds at all. Furthermore, with her earlier anger towards him, she could not help but squint at him, "Your wounds are not painful at all, you just don't want me to watch a movie right?""You want to see a man? Go back home with me, I'll show you enough." Gabriel snorted.She realized that she couldn't reason with him, and she said a little angrily, "If I knew this would happen, I would've gone to see it myself." It's such a pity to have bought a ticket for such a wonderful movie and not watch it.A few seconds after she finished speaking, her slender shoulders were suddenly pulled over by the man. Before she could react, the man had already covered her with a frantic kiss.The first was a wild and overbearing kiss, making it hard for her to resist.This kiss continued for two minutes before Gabriel finally

Soon after, the second set of works was brought up on stage. On the huge screen, this pair of jewellery shined brilliantly and caused people to look forward to it. Very quickly, it was sold for over a million dollars.The sixth painting was placed on top of the glass cabinet. Under the light of the lamp, the lotus flower necklace seemed to reveal a kind of Oriental beauty. It was beautiful and gentle, deeply favored by women.The starting price was three hundred thousand dollars and it was inlaid with extremely rare diamonds. It was lifelike, dazzling, beautiful, and extremely valuable."One million dollars." Immediately, people in the crowd raised their bids."One million and five hundred thousand dollars!" another woman called."Two million dollars."The price continued to rise. Cynthia was a little confused, her mind was also tight from the shock.What moved her even more was the recognition of her design."Three million dollars." A rich woman announced loudly. This necklace was bo

Fortunately, the bra design was conservative, so Gabriel had no objections. After that, he had matched it with a set of diamond jewelry, earrings, a necklace, and a bracelet as well.After the test, Cynthia relaxed. The acceptance ceremony would be held in the afternoon, and Linda had said that there would be a thank-you banquet tonight, so, the day belonging to the fashion designers was going to be even more lively tonight.Cynthia accompanied Gabriel back to the hotel to eat. After eating, she accompanied him back to the hotel to rest.Gabriel took the chance to take care of matters related to work, and when Cynthia entered her room to sleep, his phone rang. He picked it up and looked, his expression slightly tense, it was his grandfather."Hey!" "Grandfather.""Didn't I ask you to bring Zion here today? Why didn't you bring him here? ""I'm abroad.""What are you doing abroad?" Grandpa York asked curiously."Handling work matters.""Alright then!" Wait till you get back. " Grandpa

Cynthia stayed behind and she was also tired. She walked into the bedroom and slept, closing the door tightly.Gabriel was also tired. Although he did not touch her, but the tense atmosphere between the two of them had finally been relieved. She was sleeping in the room next door, which gave him a sense of security.Early morning.....Cynthia opened her eyes and immediately pushed the door open, walking into Gabriel's room. He did not close the door, nor did he wake up.The corner of his mouth lifted a little. It seemed that she still wasn't suitable for hating someone, as hating others was too tiring, and if she didn't hate him, then she would choose not to hate him!When Cynthia was about to leave, the man suddenly woke up. She reached out his hand and pressed it against Cynthia's waist, afraid that would hurt it, hence Cynthia immediately followed suit and laid on his chest, "Are you awake?""Hm!" We'll have breakfast together. " For a man, even living three meals a day with her wa

Cynthia was in a trance for a few seconds. In fact, her heart was not as calm as she appeared, as her heart was always thrown into disorder by him. His appearance was bound to cause her to be unable to calm down.Cynthia slightly lowered her eyes, looking at the tip of her feet, not wanting to look at him.Gabriel walked step by step to his side, narrowed his eyes and sized her up. This woman was actually not particularly dressed up, and just came like that.But even if she wore ordinary clothes, even if she dressed inconspicuously, he already had a deep desire for her. Even if she dressed poorly, it wouldn't stop him from wanting her to be impetuous and sexy."Have you had dinner?" Gabriel asked in a low voice.She bit her lips as she ignored him."I haven't eaten yet, let's go eat some more.""I don't want it." She didn't want to accompany him to eat."No? Are you sure? You can't blame me when you faint from exhaustion tonight. " Gabriel said with a warm and detestable smile.Cynthi

However, Luke still tried his best to have them chase after the direction of the trash.After he was done, Luke called Maureen who was seated and waiting. Upon hearing the summons, she immediately stood up and left the table.Behind her, there were also many employees who had guessed that Luke came here to investigate this matter. He was a strong person, he would definitely be able to find out what she did.Maureen walked to the door of the meeting room with big anxious steps. She lightly knocked on the door, and then Luke's low voice sounded from inside, "Come in."Maureen pushed the door open, and saw that Luke had also stood up. Maureen held the door open, and walked to his side, but before she could say anything, Luke's strong arm wrapped around her, pressing her down on her chest.Maureen's nose that was wronged started to sour, tears started to roll down her eyes, the grievances she had suffered this time was too much.Luke lowered his head, looked at her still immature face and

Other than Lina who still stood at the side to advise her, no one else would understand.Maureen's small face was stretched taut. She was surprisingly quiet, and even though she was under such huge pressure, there was still someone in her heart who gave her strength and comfort. That person was Luke.She knew he was coming."Maureen, it's no big deal. I'm just being fired. In the future, you can look for other jobs!" Lina consoled."I didn't do anything wrong, why should I resign? It's not my fault. " Maureen firmly believed from start to finish that he had not done anything wrong."Sigh!" Why are you so stubborn! Who doesn't feel wronged when they work here? " Lina sighed.At the entrance of Ministry of Foreign Affairs, an army-green off-road vehicle suddenly stopped, causing all of the employees who entered the hall to raise their eyebrows.At this moment, the driver's door was pushed open, and a tall and handsome figure jumped down.The man's sharp eagle eyes swept across the crowd

Fortunately, Maureen's talent in speech was extremely good, and adding the fact that she had befriended someone in Ministry of Foreign Affairs, two of her colleagues from other languages came over to help her. Before going to work, she went over to Renee's table, causing her expression to change slightly."Minister, the information you requested has been translated. Do you have any other instructions?""Maureen, did you translate all these yourself?""Minister, I have asked around before, but you are the only one who can simultaneously translate all eight languages at the same time. Therefore, for an assistant like me to be able to translate all six languages at the same time, it is already considered pretty good." Maureen said.Renee sneered, "Do you think this is considered outstanding? There are still a lot of places for you to learn. For today's meeting, you will be joining me. "Maureen saw a sly smile flash past her eyes, and immediately felt that something was wrong. However, s

Aunt Mercy nodded her head, "Of course I have, but only a few times. I remember that when she was young, she was an exceptional beauty.""Why didn't she want me anymore?" Cynthia asked somewhat angrily.Aunt Mercy shook her head once again. Regarding the matter that happened that year, even if she had doubts, she did not want to say it anymore. "Only your father knows about this secret, even I do not."Cynthia exhaled, "Seems like she really doesn't want me anymore. Otherwise, she would have come to find me even after so many years.""Cynthia, don't be sad. I feel like she didn't leave you behind, but had her own difficulties." Aunt Mercy advised and changed the topic, "Tell me about Gabriel! From what I see, he is definitely not an ordinary man.When Cynthia saw that she could not hide anything from her, she could only tell her everything that had happened recently. Although she had brought up some matters of life, Aunt Mercy could tell that she and Gabriel had some feelings for each
