Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 233

He made himself seem like a piece of artwork that Gwendolyn had carefully and attentively completed.

Nico stared at him in shock. Cedrick’s gaze seemed to be saying… Look! My wife did this! Isn’t she amazing?

Khaff! Khaff! “It looks wonderful!” Nico gulped before nodding and complimenting Cedrick. “Ms. Harris is indeed impressive!”

Satisfied, Cedrick buttoned his gown to cover the love bites.

Seeing that Cedrick was in a good mood, Nico hurriedly tried to claim credit. “Boss, shouldn’t I get some credit since you were able to enjoy yourself? Ms. Harris must’ve been touched by everything that I told her. Is that enough for me to redeem myself?”

Nico was nervous. Previously, he was deducted two years’ worth of salary.

“You did well.”

Cedrick’s lips curved into a smile. He emanated an elegant yet arrogant aura as he said, “I’ll return the previously deducted salary. On top of that, I’ll also give you a six-month bonus.”

Nico cheered inwardly. Ahhhh! Boss is the best! He’s the world’s kindest leader!

However, Nico was still worried about Cedrick’s condition.

“But, Boss, please don’t use such a dirty trick in the future. Although you knew beforehand that you weren’t shot in the heart, your life will be in danger from losing so much blood.”

Cedrick’s eyes darkened as he shot a look at Nico. “Are you saying there will be a next time? Are you hoping that Gwenny and I will argue again?”

Nico turned pale with fear.

“Touch wood! I was just spouting nonsense. Boss, please don’t deduct my salary. You haven’t even banked in the money…”

Sh*t! I take back what I said about the boss being the world’s kindest man! He’s so unpredictable, temperamental, and unreasonable!

Cedrick could not see through Nico to discover the rage and curses the latter was thinking in his mind. His expression turned hostile as he said, “Let’s get to business.”

Nico quickly regained his composure and straightened his back. “Tonight, Ms. Harris secretly brought me to the Jenson residence and claimed some benefits from Mr. Xander for you.”

After knowing that Gwendolyn had not left, Cedrick’s expression softened. “What did she do?”

“She…” Nico paused momentarily as he tried to find the right words to say. “She stabbed a knife through Mr. Xander’s chest and tied him up before pouring itching powder all over him. She was quite vicious with her act!”

Cedrick furrowed his brows into a frown. His tone was icy as he replied, “She even poured the powder onto his private parts?”

“No! Of course not! I helped her do that!”

Nico hurried to wave his hand, denying Cedrick’s claim. He tried to please the latter by buttering up to him and said, “Boss, you have such a nice figure. How could Ms. Harris lay her eyes on a skinny man like Mr. Xander?”

Cedrick scoffed but lost the frown on his lips when he heard that.

Nico continued, “However, this isn’t a small matter since Mr. Yael is not one to back down from a threat. He definitely won’t let this slide. I’m sure he’ll throw a fit tomorrow morning.”

“What are you afraid of? Let them cause trouble if that’s what they want, but allow them to only do it in the ancestral hall at the Jenson residence. Send some people to stand guard. Don’t allow any of them to make a scene at the Harris residence.”

“Yes, Boss.”

“All right. Run along now. I’ll go back and accompany Gwenny.”

Cedrick waved his hand to dismiss Nico. Without waiting for the latter to respond, he returned to the room.

Nico stared at Cedrick’s retreating figure and tutted.

My, my… Boss is in such a good mood after he got laid.

Cedrick disliked having a female nurse change his IV drip. Hence, a male nurse entered the room the next morning with a stainless-steel medical tray.

When the nurse pushed open the door, he was greeted by a shocking scene.

Cedrick, who wore a hospital gown, was sitting beside the bed and carefully feeding Gwendolyn. She had just woken up and was still in bed.

The nurse was confused.
