Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 214

When Elven saw she was about to open another, he stopped her. “The doctor said you can only drink a little wine after you hurt your stomach last time by drinking too much, Ms. Harris.”“It’s only two bottles. Besides, I don’t get drunk that easily,” she replied.

Sighing, he reminded, “Did you forget you can’t hold your liquor as well as you could ever since that incident, Ms. Harris?”

After being stopped twice, Gwendolyn felt frustrated. Abruptly, she shoved the wine bottle and glass away. “Fine, I won’t drink anymore! Take these away!”

Folding her arms grumpily, she closed her eyes to nap.

Elven placated her with a smile and shot a meaningful glance at his colleagues. Soon, Gwendolyn’s table was cleared.

By the time they arrived in Salinsburgh, it was already night.

Just as Gwendolyn wondered if she should return to the Harris residence, she received a call from Jasmine.

Jasmine was overjoyed to learn the announcement of Gwendolyn’s background and arrival in Salinsburgh. “You’re finally back, Gwendolyn! How about we spend some time in The Honey Bee together? Many of your old friends are eager to meet you! Did you miss them?”

It has been years since I met my childhood friends, and I don’t want to return to the Harris residence anyway, so why not? “Sure,” answered Gwendolyn.

She only brought Elven with her.

As for Ezra and William, she requested them to book a hotel room as that was where they would be staying for the night. Meanwhile, Quinton was sent off to tell Marcus of their arrival.

By the time Gwendolyn reached the bar, the others had already arrived.

More than a dozen people were gathered there, including Jasmine, Sherman, Triss Jenson, David Jenson’s daughter, and her old friends.

The instant Gwendolyn opened the door to the private room, Jasmine and Triss used the confetti poppers from where they were hiding behind the door. In the blink of an eye, small colorful paper filled the room. “Welcome back!”

Gwendolyn couldn’t help but smile in response to seeing that. “Thank you.”

Jasmine promptly dragged Gwendolyn to the couch by the latter’s arm. “There’s no need for you to thank us. You have no idea how sad we were when we heard your death. It’s fantastic that you’re finally willing to reveal your identity!”

Gwendolyn had a great time with her friends as they drank.

Jasmine and Triss occupied the seats next to her. Due to their younger age, she considered them her little sisters and had a good relationship with them.

Upon recalling the news Quinton shared with her on the plane, Gwendolyn asked, “I heard your family’s eldest grandson took control of the family. Is he giving you all a hard time?”

“Nope. My dad’s never been interested in stuff like power. Back then, only Uncle Yael competed ruthlessly with Cedrick. That’s why Cedrick treats our family pretty well even after he took control,” replied Triss.

Gwendolyn patted her head with a smile of relief. “That’s good, then.”

“Cedrick’s quite pitiful, though. He was covered in blood and wounds when he returned from his mission half a year ago. Apparently, he vomited blood every day. It scared Grandpa to death. However, he’s pretty amazing. I didn’t expect him to snatch control of the family back from Uncle Yael. He has my respect.”

Gwendolyn’s response was silence. Even though I’ve just arrived at Salinsburgh, I’ve heard two people praising this Cedrick already. I admit, I’m curious to see what kind of person he is.

Just as Gwendolyn was deep in thought, Jasmine sneakily switched places with someone.

When Gwendolyn turned to her side, she saw Sherman sitting beside her with a wineglass, looking as elegant and dashing as ever.

He raised his glass at her. “It’s been a while since we last met, but you’re still as pretty as ever, Gwendolyn.”
