Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 225

Mavy?

He had never expected that name to come out of Gwendolyn’s mouth. Is she talking to him as though he was still Maverick?

Does this mean she actually still has the slightest hint of feelings for him?

The man’s heart was in utter confusion, and after mulling for a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

“Gwendolyn, I—”

Before he could finish, the red-faced woman tugged at his sleeve furiously.

“Maverick! If you dare lie to me again, I’ll dig up your coffin, destroy your gravestone, and drag your corpse out!”

She’s so brutal…

The man instantly swallowed his words.

He sat by the bedside in a daze, deep in thought.

Gwendolyn didn’t love him anymore. He had always known that.

As her ex-husband, the only use he had for her now was if she needed him as a scapegoat.

If she ever finds out about all the huge lies I made up, she’ll hate me and never forgive me, right?

Wallowing in distress, he sat next to her and watched the woman deep in slumber.

He had spent a great deal of effort on this engagement, for his biggest regret in life was divorcing her in the past. In fact, he was now terrified of losing her again.

If coming clean to her will only make things worse, then it’s better if she just accepts the fact that Maverick is gone forever. I’ll start afresh with her as Cedrick Jenson.

Gwendolyn didn’t appear to be sleeping well, her knitted brows giving her a grim expression.

Cedrick massaged the space between her brows carefully and planted a gentle kiss on her forehead.

Then, he grabbed a towel from the bathroom to wipe her face and hands before grabbing himself a blanket from the closet, curling up on the sofa, and calling it a night.

With his mind remaining fuzzy, he slept all night.

The man was eventually awakened by the sound of the door unlocking from the outside.

Seeing that Gwendolyn was still asleep, he walked toward the door quietly and found Logan standing outside.

“Did you have a good chat with Ms. Harris last night, Mr. Jenson?” the older man asked with a grin. “Did you both…”

He made a gesture with his two thumbs pressing against each other.

Cedrick’s expression remained cold as he ignored Logan’s question. “When Ms. Harris wakes up, tell her to have breakfast with Grandpa before she leaves. If she refuses, don’t force her to stay.”

“Yes, Mr. Jenson.”

Cedrick went to the room next door to wash up before walking out of Valentino’s villa.

Then, he heard some noises from a corner as soon as he arrived at the entrance to the building.

Upon paying close attention, it sounded like Nico.

The other person sounded like William.

“You’re early, William. Ms. Harris probably hasn’t woken up yet. You might have to wait a while longer.”

“That’s fine, but she didn’t drink last night, did she? She’d already drunk so much during the party, so I’m guessing she got wasted. Does she seriously think she can hold her liquor and drink all she wants like before?”

William heaved a deep sigh.

“What’s wrong with Ms. Harris?” Nico asked, curious.

William paused momentarily. “It’s all in the past. Ms. Harris doesn’t want anyone to talk about it. I’ll get a pay cut if she finds out I blabbed.”
