Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 241

Gwendolyn wore a blank expression and look entirely bewildered.

She had overheard the two men’s conversation from afar when she came upstairs after concluding her phone call. Due to the distance, however, she did not manage to make out everything, merely catching a somewhat unfamiliar keyword.

“Well?”

Receiving no response from either man, she alternated her gaze between them both.

Nico whirled around. Seeing that her expression seemed genuinely calm, he reckoned that she did not hear much and fibbed with a smile, “A suppressant is a type of drug found in laboratories. But Mr. Jenson and I were discussing a Federal Bureau of Investigation’s confidential mission just now, so I might not be able to disclose much to you, Ms. Gwendolyn.”

“Really?” Gwendolyn cast her gaze at Cedrick, tilting her head a fraction.

Cedrick nodded without any change in expression. “You want to know, Gwenny? If you really want to know, I don’t mind telling you.”

Gwendolyn pondered for a moment. “Never mind. Since it’s confidential, you’d best not tell me about it. I’m not that interested in knowing anyway.”

Nico and Cedrick furtively breathed a sigh of relief at that.

“I’ll leave you two to talk, then, Ms. Gwendolyn. Please excuse me.”

Gwendolyn dipped her head in acknowledgment. Once Nico left, she sat down on the edge of Cedrick’s bed and checked his chest wound. After two days, it had healed significantly.

In truth, she had not been mad at him for real for the past two days. She had merely used it as an excuse to sleep in a different room for fear that he would misbehave at night and employ everything in his arsenal to entice her into being intimate with him.

I can’t touch him to ensure that he recovers as soon as possible! But why are the hickeys on him still so distinct? How strange.

A frown marred her countenance. Unbidden, she swung her gaze at Cedrick, only to notice the shifty and peculiar look in his eyes.

“It’s been a few days. Why haven’t the hickeys on you faded at all? Did you pinch yourself for the effect?”

“Of course not! How could I possibly do such a strange thing? But it was the first time you initiated things. Isn’t it nice to have them as a token of remembrance?” Cedrick denied it to the bitter end.

Gwendolyn’s brows furrowed, making it evident that she was still skeptical.

“I want to have a shower, Gwenny.”

Interrupting her musings, Cedrick stared at her with unfathomable ebony eyes that glinted slightly.

Without even thinking about it, Gwendolyn objected, “No way! Your wound hasn’t healed completely, so it can’t come into contact with water. How about I have Nico come in to help wipe you down?”

Despondency swamped Cedrick, and he gave Gwendolyn an accusatory look. “You said you’re the only person who can see me unclothed henceforth. Yet, you want to have Nico come and sully me?”

Aw, look at his forlorn expression! Gwendolyn caressed his handsome face.

Out of the blue, a flash of craftiness flittered across her crystalline eyes that sparkled like stars. Her ruby-red lips curved into a seductive arc.

She slowly leaned close to the man, her soft voice incredibly mesmerizing. “I have no issue about serving you, Ceddy. But before that, I have a surprise for you. You’ll definitely like it.”

Cedrick’s eyes lit up, and his heart skipped a beat.

“After I’ve given you the surprise, your body will be sticky. At that time, I’ll help to wipe you down. Then, I don’t have to do it twice,” Gwendolyn added.

Stifling the anticipation brimming in his eyes, Cedrick replied calmly, “Okay.”

“Wait for a moment, then. I’m going to get something from the adjacent room.”

Get something?

Cedrick vaguely felt that something was not quite right.

By then, Gwendolyn had already raced to the adjacent bedroom like lightning before trotting back.

When she returned again, she had her hands behind her with a mysterious expression on her face.

Slipping off her shoes, she climbed into bed and slowly straddled him, resting her knees against the mattress.

She started unfastening the remaining buttons on his shirt patiently with her fair fingers, one after another.

While doing that, her cool fingers would inadvertently brush against his warm muscles every so often.

It felt like she was deliberately teasing him, making him tremble violently. At the same time, his breathing sped up.
