Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 238

Oh no! I should’ve been more disciplined. This is getting out of control!

Nevertheless, Cedrick continued to maintain a defiant stance with his eyes showing no fear at all. In fact, he looked as if he would do it all over again even if given a second chance.

Asher perceived Cedrick’s demeanor as provocation.

Overwhelmed by rage, Asher prepared to pull the trigger.

“No, no! You’re making a mistake, Asher! It’s me. I’m the one who came onto him!” Gwendolyn mumbled as her toes clenched in embarrassment.

When forced to choose between sacrificing Cedrick’s life versus her legs, it made more sense to go with the latter.

Asher was baffled.

“If you don’t believe me, you can check his neck. It was I… who couldn’t hold myself back.”

Gwendolyn’s voice grew increasingly faint toward the end of her sentence. Covering her cheeks in embarrassment, she could feel a burning sensation spread from her cheeks to her neck.

Filled with skepticism, Asher gradually approached Cedrick with the gun still in his hand.

In the meantime, Cedrick remained motionless as he allowed Asher to unravel his woolen scarf.

Finally, Asher was stunned by the sight of the other man’s hickey-covered neck.

This is f*cking outrageous…

As the air seemed to be frozen still, a strange atmosphere surrounded them.

With her face buried in her hands, Gwendolyn wished for the ground to open up and swallow her whole.

D*mn it. This is just great. Now everyone knows how daring I was at the hospital! Argh, this is so embarrassing!

Just as she was screaming inwardly, she suddenly felt someone twist her right ear forcefully.

It was so painful that her already reddened ear took on a deeper hue.

“Ouch! It hurts! We’re in public right now, Asher! Can’t you save me some face?” she exclaimed. Cedrick and Nico are watching!

Asher was overwhelmed by anger. “Well done, Gwendolyn! Should I then sing your praises for the glory you have brought me?”

“Oh, you don’t have to praise me. I’m, after all, someone who keeps a low profile,” she replied mischievously. Just don’t punish me too harshly.

“Hmph! Still spouting nonsense, eh?”

With a dangerous glint in his eyes, Asher released Gwendolyn’s ear and grabbed the back of her collar like he was scruffing a kitten.

“You’re coming home with me! Also, you have three minutes to say goodbye to your legs!”

With her face buried in her hands, Gwendolyn was in despair.

Asher is really mad. Is he going to kill me when we’re home?

Exuding an icy air, Asher turned around and walked back to his car with Gwendolyn in tow. All of a sudden, he felt someone grab his wrist.

Cedrick’s narrowed eyes emitted an aura that was equally frosty. “Mr. Asher, Gwenny is an adult who has the right to make her own choices. On top of that, she’s my fiancée. Nothing about what she has done is inappropriate.”

“Outsiders aren’t allowed to interfere with how I discipline my sister!”

Asher gave him the side-eye as he sneered, “I heard that the Jenson family is strict with their upbringing. Little did I expect them to have raised such an unscrupulous failure of a man like you. Don’t think I’ll forget how you cheated on her just because she’s defending you! I’ll first break her legs before coming to kill you!”

As both men were locked in a staredown, sparks could be seen flying in the air.

Just as Asher turned to leave again, Cedrick tightened his grip on the former’s wrist, refusing to back down.

In a fit of rage, Asher released Gwendolyn and swiftly shoved Cedrick back with his palm, exerting considerable force.

Cedrick didn’t fight back and allowed Asher to strike his chest.

Groaning in pain, he staggered backward as his face turned pale from the excruciating pain. Asher had inadvertently struck his gunshot wound.

He tried his best to swallow the blood that rushed up his throat but to no avail. The blood ended up trickling down the corner of his lips.

“Ceddy!”
