Chapter 223: The Todd Family Heirs
Cheyenne was wearing a white batwing shirt paired with a blue checkered skirt, and white shoes. Her hair was styled in seaweed-like waves that cascaded down her back as she walked.
Her hair swayed gently behind her, highlighting her slender waist and the slight sway of her skirt. Kelvin appeared behind her, dressed in a black suit with an imposing posture that caught Kai off guard. He then realized it was Kelvin Foley.
What brought him here?
Kai hurried over to greet him and shook his hand while exchanging pleasantries. "Mr. Foley, what brings you here today? It's such a pleasant surprise."
Kelvin's gaze remained fixed on Cheyenne's face as he naturally walked towards Iker, his lips curling up slightly with indifference.
"I heard about the fire started at the Todd mansion, so I dropped by to see how things were going."
Kai didn't miss the fact that Kelvin had followed Miss Lawrence here; they had been involved before – could this mean they were getting back together?
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Foley," Iker replied calmly. "It wasn't anything major; thankfully we discovered it early on when there weren't many people around at my estate."
"Good to hear everyone is safe," Kelvin responded.
Meanwhile, Cheyenne was chatting with Iker, explaining why she missed their appointment yesterday. "I'm sorry about yesterday. I accidentally drank too much two nights ago and got into
some trouble yesterday morning which delayed me from coming over until today."
Tanner was still angry about Cheyenne missing her appointment; he had called several times but received no answer from her; she seemed to have vanished into thin air! He thought something terrible might have happened.
Although Iker didn't say anything, when Cheyenne failed to show up at their appointed time yesterday, Tanner could see signs of worry and disappointment that Iker had never shown before on his face.
Later last night there was a fire which took until this morning to put out, resulting in millions of dollars worth of damage being done to the villa.
Iker glanced at Cheyenne briefly before his coldness dissipated somewhat. He looked at her legs, intently asking if she was okay.
"I'm fine. Thank you for your concern, Master Iker."
"Hmm..."
Davon approached them, his gaze greedy as he stared at Cheyenne.
He noticed the marks on the nape of her neck when she lifted her head.
As an experienced player in the world of romance, he naturally understood the reason behind it and couldn't help but show a hint of frivolity in his gaze.
He intentionally walked up to Cheyenne and sniffed the light fragrance on her body, feeling refreshed and delighted. Material © of NôvelDrama.Org.
"Miss Lawrence, it's been days. I really miss you a lot. But your neck..."
As she listened to his words, Cheyenne instinctively covered her face with her hands, feeling embarrassed.
As she lifted her hand, a fair-skinned arm was revealed, with marks visible on it.
Iker looked over. At just a glance, he had a gloomy face.
He couldn't believe that Cheyenne was the kind of woman who would play in nightclubs, even though she always acted like a playgirl every time.
'Who is that man leaving marks on her?' Iker thought.
"This is a mosquito bite." Cheyenne's explanation was weak and feeble.
Davon looked deeply at her arm.
Looking down, Cheyenne noticed the marks on her arm. Her eyes squinted slightly. She couldn't help but curse Kelvin in her mind.
"There are indeed many mosquitoes in summer. Miss Lawrence is really pitiful. Remember to apply some medicine to prevent allergies."
Kelvin, who was classified as a "mosquito," was currently focused on his thoughts.
Cheyenne's skin was really tender and delicate. Though he hadn't used much force, deep marks were left.
Three-year-old Lewis didn't understand the twists and turns between adults. He walked up to Cheyenne wearing a pair of blue jeans and holding a toy race car model in his hand.
With a lifted face and a bright, innocent smile, she looked adorable and cheerful, bringing joy to anyone who saw him.
"Mosquitoes are so annoying. They keep biting you. Let me blow them away, so you won't feel any pain."
As he spoke, he really puffed up his little face and blew on it. Cheyenne squatted down and reached out to stroke his little head. "Thank you, Master Lewis, you're so cute."
"Pretty missy, you're cute and beautiful. Can I marry you as my wife?"
His voice was full of childlike innocence, with a cute and adorable tone. His big eyes sparkled with light.
Iker narrowed his eyes and grabbed the little guy by the collar of his clothes, pulling him aside with a very unpleasant expression on his face. "Do you know what 'wife' means?"
The little one was dissatisfied and glared at his elder brother with puffed cheeks, pouting his rosy lips and humming.
"Of course I know, Iker. You're so foolish that you don't even know what a wife is. A wife is someone who can eat with me, give me a bath, and sleep together."
I know quite a lot!
Cheyenne laughed uncontrollably as the little one broke free from Iker's grip and ran swiftly towards her.
Suddenly, a kiss landed on her pink face.
The crisp and pleasant laughter echoed in Cheyenne's ears, "Pretty missy, I seal you with a kiss, so you're my wife now. I will eat more and grow up quickly. Wait for me, my wife. I will earn money to support you in the future."
Cheyenne was stunned.
Gently smiling, she reached out and touched Lewis' cheek. "Okay, then I will wait for you."
Kelvin clenched his fists tightly under the long sleeves of his suit. The Todd family heirs all had bad intentions. Iker and Davon were eyeing Cheyenne, and even their younger brother wanted to marry her.
Unfortunately, he was just his ex-husband and in place to intervene.
She really attracted attention wherever she went.
"Lewis, come over here to Mommy. Don't cause trouble, Iker and Davon have important things to do. Miss Lawrence, you like children a lot, why don't you just have one yourself in the future."
Erica was dissatisfied with how close her son and Cheyenne were, so she put on a fake smile and took the child away.
When Erica mentioned this topic, Cheyenne's gaze immediately dimmed, and her smile faded away.
