Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 186

Maverick instinctively wanted to break free, but he had used all his strength to withstand the pain when Nico applied the medicine earlier.

In the end, he could only obediently surrender.

Gwendolyn acted swiftly, pinning him down onto the bed with ease. She raised his hands above his head and held them firmly against the bed with one hand.

Then, she stood by the bedside.

Maverick’s ears turned slightly red as he asked in a low, husky voice, “Gwendolyn, what are you doing?”

This posture feels a bit strange… I bet those two scoundrels haven’t left yet, and they’re still hanging outside the window. My dignity!

Outside the window, Nico and Swain were indeed still hanging around. Hearing the commotion, the two secretly peeked inside.

Wow!

Both of them did not expect to see their boss get pinned down on the bed. The latter was completely subdued and unable to break free.

Moreover, the said boss was lying beneath.

Awesome! This trip is totally worth it!

The two were engrossed in watching the show when Maverick’s dark eyes narrowed. He fiercely shot a sharp glare out the window.

Nico and Swain were instantly intimidated. They had no choice but to follow the command and climb along the window ledge to the nearby pipe. Then, they quietly slipped out through the back door.

Gwendolyn was examining the wound on Maverick’s back inside the room.

The bandage had indeed been changed recently. Faint traces of blood could be seen seeping through.

However, she was not planning on letting him off the hook just yet. Gently lifting the edge of the bandage, she intended to look at the wound.

Maverick deliberately let out a groan as his facial features tensed up. “Gwendolyn, it hurts…”

Gwendolyn paused for a moment.

After hesitating for a few seconds, she withdrew her hand. “Who helped you wrap your bandages? When I came in, I saw Elven and the others passed out in the garden. What happened?”

“I bandaged myself.” Maverick’s expression remained unchanged. As he was forced to lie face down on the bed, he could only turn his head to the side to answer her questions. “Elven and the others passed out? I’ve been in the room the whole time, so I was unaware of this.”

Gwendolyn looked at him coldly, raising her eyebrows, and smirked. “Oh, really?”

“Yes.”

Heh, he’s really full of lies. Not a single word of truth comes out of his mouth.

Gwendolyn pressed her knee harder against his lower back, skillfully exposing his lies.

“Before I left, you were so sick and frail that your fingers tremble when you lift your hand. I was only gone for about ten minutes, and now you’re full of energy. You could even change your own bandages. Is this some kind of terminal lucidity?”

Maverick pursed his thin lips, remaining silent and motionless.

Gwendolyn continued, “My bodyguard was drugged and left unconscious in the yard. Yet, not only were you unharmed, but your condition even improved. It must have been your subordinate’s doing, right? Do you think I would believe this has nothing to do with you? Or maybe you deliberately pretended to be weak and sick to deceive me before I left?”

She paused for a moment, her eyes cold and sharp. “Are you trying to trick or hide something from me? Think carefully before you speak.”

Maverick gulped hard and fell silent.

He did hide something from her, but she would feel guilty after knowing the truth. She would not make things difficult for him anymore. However, given her temperament, she would help him find a cure for the virus. Moreover, she would also terminate the employment contract out of guilt.

If he told her that he lied, she would be furious as she once said she hated deception the most. The rift between them would only grow wider.

No matter how he answered, it would be unfavorable for him.
