Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 236

Her mind was a jumbled mess, and she was in a daze when she left the Jenson residence while holding Cedrick’s hand.

Like a frightened little bunny, her eyes reddened after they got into the car.

Cedrick then pulled her into his embrace, kissed her forehead, and uttered guiltily, “You’re scared, aren’t you? It’s my bad. Such a gory scene isn’t for the faint of heart. I should’ve asked Nico to bring you away.”

Choking back on tears, Gwendolyn buried her face in his neck and sobbed. “I should be the one apologizing. I’ve only realized the severity of the punishment you went through. Instead of comforting you back then, I even scolded you. I’m such a terrible person.”

“Don’t say that.” Cedrick cradled her tear-streaked face and said in a serious tone, “You scolded me because you cared about me. Therefore, I couldn’t be happier when you scolded me.”

What nonsense is he talking about? With tears shining in her pretty eyes, Gwendolyn knew he was trying to console her and make her feel better. However, it didn’t make her feel less guilty.

“That’s all in the past now. My wounds are all healed, and none of them left a scar. It doesn’t hurt anymore.” Cedrick leaned in and kissed her tears away. “Your tears are as precious as gems to me, so stop crying, okay? Otherwise, I might go bankrupt.”

“Who taught you all these sweet nothings?” Gwendolyn chuckled, amused.

Nico was focusing on the road when he noticed Gwendolyn looking in his direction. “It wasn’t me! I’ve never even been in a relationship. I’m a pure and innocent boy!” Nico quickly explained, trying to clear his name.

Fine, then. He hasn’t even fallen in love before. What a poor guy. Perhaps I shouldn’t make things difficult for him. Gwendolyn chose to believe Nico.

Afterward, Cedrick grabbed her hand and placed it over his chest. “I’m speaking facts. Can you feel my heartbeat to know that I’m being honest?”

Gwendolyn leaned in carefully to feel his heartbeat as a blissful sensation washed over her.

“Ceddy, let me shower you with love from now on!” Gwendolyn smiled mischievously and kissed him on the lips.

In response, Cedrick closed his eyes and deepened the kiss. The two soon engaged in a passionate and intimate session, and the atmosphere in the car grew sickly sweet.

Nico tightened his grip on the steering wheel and stole occasional glances at the rear-view mirror, feeling devastated. What the f*ck? They’re tormenting me with their public display of affection! This is so hurtful… Can’t they consider my feelings? I’m still single, after all.

Cedrick finally pulled away from Gwendolyn after a few minutes of making out in the car.

She then touched his cheek and noticed something was amiss. “Why is your face so pale? Your body is icy-cold! Are you feeling unwell?”

“I’ve just gone through surgery, remember? It’s only normal that I look pale.” Cedrick shook his head.

“But—”

Gwendolyn wanted to question further, but Cedrick cut her off by asking, “Are you going back to the Harris residence?”

Nico took a glance in the rear-view mirror and noticed Cedrick’s hint. “By the way, Boss, you have to attend an important meeting at Jenson Group today,” Nico immediately voiced before pretending to check the time. “We have two hours before the meeting starts. When will we be heading over?”

Hearing that Cedrick had business matters to attend to, Gwendolyn had no choice but to say, “I see. I’m not going back to the Harris residence, though. Please send me to Angle Corporation. The ribbon-cutting ceremony is in two days’ time. I need to make some arrangements.”

Nico turned the car around and drove to Angle Corporation.

Cedrick kissed Gwendolyn on her forehead before she exited the car. “Don’t leave the office right after work. I’ll come fetch you, and we’ll have dinner together.”

Gwendolyn nodded obediently and hopped off the car. Wearing a sweet smile, she kept looking back and waving Cedrick goodbye as she made her way into the building.

Cedrick rolled down the window and waved back at her, beaming as he watched her enter the building.

As soon as she disappeared into the building, Cedrick could no longer suppress the metallic taste in his throat.
