Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 228

How thoughtful of you? It seems like you’ve prepared yourself to get beaten up. Cedrick, do you think that I don’t dare to hurt you now that you have a high status?”

Cedrick lifted his head up to fix his eyes on her. His eyes were red as he voiced, “I don’t care about the status. I’m merely an ordinary guy in front of you. If I’ve made you angry, I don’t mind getting beaten up by you.”

His words sounded genuine compared to what he said yesterday.

“If that’s how you want it, so be it.”

As she raised her horsewhip, her gaze looked hostile.

At that moment, she was overcome with the urge to beat Cedrick up badly. I can’t wait to see Cedrick covered in blood. I’ll beat him up until he’s unable to get up and beg me for mercy!

Nevertheless, she held herself back, taking only half of her strength to whip two times on his left arm.

“Does it hurt?” Her gaze remained indifferent.

Cedrick furrowed his brows slightly, attempting to control his arm from trembling too hard.

Taking a breath silently, he lied with a beam, “Not at all.”

Gwendolyn didn’t use all her strength and assumed his worst condition was getting a swollen wound on his arm. However, those two whips were powerful enough to hurt Cedrick. The spikes on the whip snagged his shirt and torn his flesh open, leaving two bloody cuts on his arm. It was a ghastly sight to see Cedrick’s white shirt drenched in blood.

Noticing something was not right, Gwendolyn looked down at the whip in her hand.

The horsewhip was a rough job, and there were sharp prickles on it. Watching the horsewhip covered in blood, Gwendolyn came to a realization and felt the pain for him.

Just when she felt that way, a wave of fury crashed through her abruptly, causing her to lose her rationality.

He’s acting well by pretending to be hurt!

With that thought, Gwendolyn lifted his chin lightly and sneered, “Cedrick, I can’t believe that you’re putting on a pitiful act to garner sympathy from me. Is it fun to fool me with your tricks?”

Feeling aggrieved, Cedrick said pitifully, “I have no intention to fool you! It’s my fault for making you sad. I’m willing to accept any form of punishment from you. However, can you please let me explain after you’ve calmed down later?”

Gwendolyn narrowed her eyes and replied harshly, “Sure. Wait till I finish whipping you. We’ll talk later if you still have the energy to explain!”

Then, Cedrick shut his eyes with his teeth gritted and waited obediently.

Once again, Gwendolyn raised the horsewhip shakily.

Cedrick waited for a long while to hear that loud sound of a whip-crack but nothing happened.

Knowing the lethal force of the horsewhip, Gwendolyn wasn’t hard-hearted enough to land another strike on him.

Cedrick had been putting on an act to lie to Gwendolyn. Because of that, she harbored guilt for the past six months. Nevertheless, she was washed over by the urge to beat Cedrick to death after knowing the truth.

Although feeling extremely angry, Gwendolyn felt sorry to inflict a serious injury on Cedrick.

At that instant, she couldn’t help but feel a sense of defeat for falling for Cedrick’s dirty tricks.

Feeling upset, Gwendolyn released her anger by whipping the floor vigorously.

The ear-splitting sound reverberated through the air. It was so loud that Nico and William could hear the whipping sound outside the villa.

After she was done, Gwendolyn threw the horsewhip away. She didn’t bother to look at Cedrick who was still kneeling on the ground. Walking toward the door, she pushed it open and left without saying a word.

Nico was standing outside the villa and didn’t expect Gwendolyn to come out that fast. At that time, he was holding a medical kit.

He wanted to hide the kit from Gwendolyn, but it was already too late.

Nico’s attempt to hide the kit made the situation worse instead. Gwendolyn was under the impression that he was playing along with Cedrick to put up an act to fool her.

Gwendolyn scoffed, “What a well-prepared arrangement! It’s a waste of talent for him to fool a silly me with his smart tricks.”
