Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 239

Cedrick kissed her on the neck and, with a weak voice, whispered in her ear, “I like hearing you call me Ceddy, Gwenny.”

Gwendolyn cradled his face with both hands and kissed his bloody lips. “Sure thing. I’ll keep calling you Ceddy for as long as you like.”

Cedrick’s pale lips curled into a satisfied smile when he heard that.

“Are you able to walk?” Gwendolyn asked while carefully adjusting her posture to support him.

“Yeah.”

Just like that, the two of them clung tightly to each other as they slowly made their way toward the car.

Nico was frozen in place as he watched the two of them from behind.

He couldn’t help but feel as though he was being a third wheel there.

After returning to the Jenson residence, Gwendolyn began removing Cedrick’s clothes the moment he lay on the bed.

“Take it easy, will you? Nico can handle this stuff.”

Gwendolyn shot him an annoyed glare. “What, are you afraid that I would ravage your body? Don’t worry; I’m not so desperate that I would take advantage of a severely-wounded man!”

“Oh? In that case, I guess I’m still not charming enough.”

Cedrick sounded a little disappointed when he said that.

Holding back her laughter, Gwendolyn smiled and gave him a peck on the lips as a reward.

That was clearly not enough for Cedrick, though.

Is that all I get?

Gwendolyn flashed him a sweet smile when she saw the resentful look in his eyes.

Her sparkly eyes were then filled with seriousness as she spoke. “I’d feel bad for taking advantage of you while you’re injured, Ceddy! We can’t do it just yet, so stop seducing me!” Frowning slightly, she puffed her cheeks.

Nico, who was standing at the corner of the bed, simply stared at the lovey-dovey couple in awkward silence.

Tsk, tsk, tsk… Taking advantage? Seducing? What an interesting way to use those words! Well, given how Boss is all weak from his injuries, I suppose those words would fit the scenario perfectly!

He was snapped out of his train of thought when the two of them glared coldly at him and shouted in unison, “Get out!”

Nico let out an awkward chuckle and scratched the back of his head as he said, “And here I thought you would need my help applying the medication, Boss. Well, I suppose I have no reason to stick around now that Gwendolyn is here. Very well, then. I shall take my leave now, so you two can carry on.”

He then put the medication and first-aid kit down on the nightstand before stepping out of the bedroom and closing the door behind him.

Gwendolyn waited until he was gone before she continued taking Cedrick’s clothes off.

Sure enough, the wound had ripped open, and blood had seeped through the bandages, staining it red along with his dress shirt.

“I knew it! You were lying to me again! How could you call this a minor injury?” she exclaimed, her eyes reddening.

“Don’t worry; it’ll take a lot more than this to kill me,” Cedrick comforted her calmly.

“Shut up! You’re such an idiot! Asher loves me a lot, so I’d be fine even if I did go home with him! Dad and Sienna are very protective of me, so Asher would just give me a few smacks at best! It’s a different story with you, though. Why did you have to stop him?”

Cedrick gently caressed her ears that Asher had pinched earlier. Although they were no longer red, he was still heartbroken to see her get hurt, even for a little bit. “Just think of it as me being impulsive. I won’t do it again next time.”

He had fallen deeply in love with Gwendolyn before he even realized it.

She was the one woman he wanted to love and spoil for the rest of his life.

Even I can’t bring myself to hurt her, so I won’t let anyone else do so, including her brother!

Gwendolyn knew he wasn’t actually listening to her, so she simply let out a sigh and shifted her attention toward the medication Nico had left them with.
