Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 201

Standing at the side, Gwendolyn felt like she was about to die from laughter.

Jasmine was too spoiled by her family, so she was used to having her way all the time. Unexpectedly, she faced her first-ever setback because of Maverick.

“Gwendolyn…” Jasmine looked at Gwendolyn with a pout, her eyes watery. Though she wanted to complain more, she was worried that her acting would be less convincing than Maverick’s.

Gwendolyn’s expression gradually turned serious as she met Jasmine’s eyes. “Jasmine, he’s right. He only listens to my orders. You’re staying at my place, eating here, and using my things. Now, you even want to hit my person? Aren’t you being too much?”

Jasmine froze.

“This is not the Newton residence. Although I consider you to be my little sister, I won’t coddle you without a bottom line.”

“Gwendolyn…”

“I’m going to Salinsburgh tomorrow, and you will go with me. I’ll book a plane ticket for you.”

“What? I’m leaving tomorrow already? I’ve only been here for less than three days! Gwendolyn…”

Gwendolyn ignored Jasmine’s efforts to act cute.

If she didn’t bring Jasmine back to the Newton residence, the latter would have to stay with Maverick on her own for two days at the seaside villa.

“You’ve been away from home for days, and it’s time to return.” Gwendolyn pushed Jasmine’s shoulder, a bit annoyed. “Go upstairs and change before you come back down. Who are you trying to seduce, walking around in a nightgown?”

Jasmine pouted and climbed the stairs reluctantly.

Once she was gone, Gwendolyn turned around to face Maverick.

He seemed to be in a good mood as his eyes twinkled with delight.

Shooting him a glare, Gwendolyn sneered, “How does she look in her nightgown? Gorgeous?”

Maverick raised his hands in submission and protested, “I’m innocent! I didn’t even notice what color she was wearing. Besides, you’re the sexiest woman in this world for me. I only like looking at you.”

Gwendolyn did not like hearing such cheesy words. She changed the topic, chiding, “I can’t believe you pitched yourself against a twenty-year-old girl and put on an act like that. Do you have nothing better to do?

Then, she pointed at the shattered glass on the floor. “You broke my glass, so you have to compensate me.”

“All right, I will. Is ten times the amount enough?” Maverick coaxed, gazing at Gwendolyn affectionately.

“I guess.” Gwendolyn arched her brow and voiced smugly.

While Maverick stared at her radiant, smiling face, he tried to engrave the image in his heart.

At that moment, he was overcome with the urge to pull her into his arms and never let go.

Sadly, he might not have the chance to do that anymore.

After breakfast, Gwendolyn surprisingly did not leave for work. She rested at home the entire day and prepared for her trip to Salinsburgh the next day.

Sitting on the couch in the living room, she arranged work-related matters on her phone while a TV show played in the background.

Maverick washed some apples and sat on the one-seater at the side, quietly peeling the fruit for her.

Meanwhile, Jasmine had Elven and the other bodyguards set up a swing for her in the courtyard.

Peaceful times always passed by quickly.

The next day, Gwendolyn and Jasmine packed their things for the trip. Maverick voluntarily carried Gwendolyn’s luggage downstairs while Ezra helped Jasmine with hers.

Out of concern, Treyton decided to accompany them to Salinsburgh. They had agreed to meet at the airport.

When Maverick offered to see Gwendolyn off at the airport, she declined.

“You don’t need to go to Wright Construction Group while I’m in Salinsburgh. Yulia is there, so everything will be fine. Just stay at the villa in the meantime. I asked William, Quinton, and Justin to stay behind and guard the villa.”

Maverick suggested, “You should bring more people since you’ll be there for two days. Just leave Justin in the villa. There is no need for so many bodyguards since I won’t go anywhere. And with my fighting skills, even the five of them won’t be able to stop me if I’m set on leaving.”

Maverick’s words made sense to Gwendolyn. With that, she brought William and Quinton with her and left Justin in the villa.

Jasmine was already sitting in the car, waiting unhappily. Upon putting everything in order, Gwendolyn turned to open the car door when Maverick suddenly grabbed her wrist.

“What—”

Before she could continue, Maverick enfolded her in his embrace.
