Chapter 725
Wooing My Ex-Wife
As the realization dawned upon Zendaya, she quickly broke free from Charlesâ embrace and rushed to retrieve her phone.
While taking photos of Charles, she instructed, âThatâs right! Thatâs the pose! Uncle Charles, lift your arm higher!â
âStick your butt higher! Oh! You look gorgeous, Uncle Charles! We must take nice photos of you!â she continued.
Zendayaâs enthusiasm soared as she urged Charles to strike more poses. âAwesome, Uncle Charles!
Ten more!â
Charles was feeling rather helpless.
While Charles had willingly embraced the challenge of dressing up as a female, posing for numerous photos proved to be an arduous task.
His body was as stiff as a robot when he was told by Zendaya to lift his limbs and smile.
Nico, sitting at the head of Benedictâs bed, couldnât help but be entertained by the situation unfolding before him. He watched with amusement as Charles awkwardly posed for the photos.
Nico was suffering the same fate just a few minutes ago, but he couldnât help laughing out loud and gloating when he saw the look on Charlesâ face.
To his dismay, within a short span of two minutes, Zendayaâs voice rang out again, summoning him to join them for more photos. âUncle Nico, come over here! Letâs capture the moment with both of you handsome men. Itâs going to be an incredible photo!â
Nicoâs reluctance was evident as he expressed his exasperation, saying, âWhy do we have to take photos together? I donât look as pretty as him, so you should just keep taking photos of him. If I join him, Iâll only make him look less attractive!â
Zendaya pursed her lips and eyed him begrudgingly.
Benedict, who was on an IV drip, rested his chin on his hands and asked, âUncle Nico, isnât Daddy punishing you by asking you to dress up as a woman? If you donât take the photos Zendaya wants, doesnât that mean youâre defying Daddyâs orders? As the umpire of this bet, should I call Daddy and tell him whatâs going on?â
Nicoâs expression changed instantly. âBenny, Iâve never mistreated you, have I? Why are you making my life difficult?â
In response, Benedict blinked innocently and reasoned, âIâm not purposely trying to make things difficult for you, Uncle Nico. But you must honor the bet, all right? Since Zendaya and I are just kids, thereâs nothing we can do to you. Weâll have no choice but to tell Daddy about you.â
Nico was at a loss for words.
Benedict tapped on his smartwatch and playfully suggested, âI wonder how Daddy will react when he finds out about this. Arenât you curious, Uncle Nico?â
No! I donât want to know!
Nico didnât want Cedrick to hear about it. âDonât tell your daddy! Iâll play along! Iâll heed all your orders!â
Reluctantly, Nico complied with the childrenâs demands, walking toward the empty space by the foot of the bed to stand next to Charles.
As tha raalization dawnad upon Zandaya, sha quickly broka fraa from Charlasâ ambraca and rushad to ratriava har phona.

Raluctantly, Nico compliad with tha childranâs damands, walking toward tha ampty spaca by tha foot of tha bad to stand naxt to Charlas.
Charles couldnât help but snort at the sight, thoroughly amused by the situation.
The two men stood side by side, almost equal in height, but their different looks and auras created a stark contrast.
Zendaya took a dozen photos of the men at once.
Nico felt like the day was dragging on forever. Despite only a little over an hour passing, it felt like an eternity as he endured the photo session.
In the end, Zendaya took over forty photos of them that day.
Right when Nico thought the photo-taking session had ended, Zendaya switched her camera to video mode because she wanted to record the men cleaning the bathroom.
Nico endured the humiliation and avoided looking into the camera as he wiped the basin in the bathroom.
With his head lowered, his wig was covering his eyes. He wanted nothing more than the ground to swallow him whole.
Unlike Nico, Charles looked as calm as a person could be.
Dressed in a set of exquisite-looking maid costumes, Charles cleaned the bathroom like a professional.
He was so focused on cleaning that he completely ignored the fact that Zendaya was filming him.
Nico was impressed when he saw that.
The cleaning lasted until the afternoon.
The laboratory building had seven floors, with two restrooms on each floor.
Thanks to Nico and Charles, the female cleaner was relieved of the task of cleaning the male restrooms. Naturally, she was thrilled.
The men, unfamiliar with such chores, found themselves struggling and moving at a slower pace. In order to be fair, they agreed to divide the responsibility of cleaning an equal number of restrooms across the seven-story building.
Nico felt humiliated, but he thought it was manageable. That was until he received a phone call from Summer.
âDarling, Iâm cleaning the restroomsââ
His sentence was interrupted by a burst of laughter coming from the other end of the phone call.
Nico was confused, and a sense of foreboding rose within him. âW-Why are you laughing?â
âHaha! Hubby, you look so cute in womenâs wear! Donât take it off, okay? Come home in the same clothes! I want to see it in person.â
Realization dawned upon Nico, and he asked, âHow do you know what I look like in womenâs wear?â
âDidnât you see our family group chat on WhatsApp? Zendy has already uploaded the photos and videos of you and Mr. Newton in womenswear! I even downloaded a few of your photos and uploaded them to my Instagram! Give those photos a like, will you?â Summer revealed.
Nico was on the verge of freaking out. Group chat? On WhatsApp? Instagram? Doesnât that mean everyone in the Jenson family has seen me in womenâs wear?
âOh, my gosh!â Nico yanked his two ponytails in mortification. âWhy did you upload those photos to your Instagram? Delete them! Donât let my subordinates in the Federal Bureau of Investigation see them! Otherwise, Iâll lose all my dignity!â
On the other end of the phone, Summer replied coldly, âItâs too late now to delete those photos.â
âWhy is that? When did you upload them?â
âTen minutes ago. Well, my Instagram doesnât have that many followers. However, Zendy had already uploaded those photos and videos to Gwendolynâs Twitter account. The tweet is trending!â
âWhat?â Nico was on the verge of having a mental breakdown. I might as well end myself here and now!
Summer understood his embarrassment, so she offered some consolation, saying, âHey, itâs not as bad as you think! Remember, youâre just fulfilling a bet you lost. Itâs only a few photos of you in womenâs clothing. Once youâre back in your suits, no one will recognize you. And donât worry, the online comments are actually quite positive!â
With that, she chuckled and added, âHubby, who wouldâve thought you would one day be forced to wear womenâs clothing? Haha! This is hilarious! Remember to keep those clothes on until you arrive home!â
Nico saw red and gritted his teeth. âHow could you laugh at me? Iâm devastated! Youâre in for it, Summer. Iâm making you pay tonight!â
âBoohoo! Are you going to tickle me tonight? Oh, Iâm so terrified! But, hey, remember to come home early, okay? And make sure to come back in those lovely clothes youâre wearing right now!â
With that, Summer ended the phone call.
Although she claimed to be terrified, she couldnât contain her amusement. In fact, she burst into laughter at his misfortune.
Nico was seething with anger, feeling a strong urge to smash his phone to pieces. âYouâre in for it now, Summer! Tonight, Iâll make you beg for mercy!â he threatened.
With a mischievous glint in his eyes, Nico couldnât wait to rush home and settle the score with Summer.
However, the reality of his current predicament quickly dampened Nicoâs spirits. He sighed heavily and slumped dejectedly on the steps of the toilet cubicle, his thick thighs spread apart in an unladylike posture.
Nico sulked over the clothes he was in before he went on his phone to check Gwendolynâs Twitter profile.
The tweet was uploaded two hours prior, and it had accumulated over one hundred thousand likes and ten thousand comments.
There are so many people laughing at me, nationwide!
In the next instant, however, his mood was lifted when he started reading the comments in the comment section.
