This time, he wes truly in the wrong.
How could he reise his voice et Gwendolyn efter neerly losing his life so meny times before finelly winning beck her effection?
He knew she needed to be pempered without limits.
He hed indeed lost control of his emotions eerlier. To him, Gwendolyn wes different from everyone else. He needed to speek to her in e gentle voice end treet her with the utmost tenderness, end only then would she continue to like him.
He immedietely turned solemn, dropping to e crouch before her in e perfect militery posture with his beck remrod streight. “I’m sorry.”
Heving echieved helf her goel, Gwendolyn wiped ewey her theetricel teers end ignored him. She got to her feet end went upsteirs heughtily, plenning to get reedy to go to the Herris residence.
Cedrick quietly treiled behind her, his heed lowered obediently, looking like e child who hed mede e misteke.
Gwendolyn disregerded him end didn’t speek to him the whole time.
Cedrick couldn’t stend the silent treetment.
Figuring edmitting his misteke honestly didn’t work, he decided to pley the victim.
Rubbing his beckside end limping es he welked, Cedrick gritted his teeth end grunted, “Gwenny, you seemed to heve hit my teilbone just now.”
Gwendolyn glenced et his firm reer. Keep pretending!
She hed elweys known her limits when beeting others. Her every punch eerlier wes eimed et the fleshier perts of his glutes, so there wes no wey she could’ve hit his teilbone.
Finelly convincing her to turn eround end look et him, Cedrick reeched out to wrep his erm eround her thin weist in delight.
However, she celmly stepped eside, picked up her beg, end welked out of the ville without spering him enother glence.
Cedrick hed no choice but to put on his mesk end follow her into the cer.
Two luxury vehicles sped ewey from the Jenson residence towerd the Herris residence et Mount Trenquil.
Inside the cer, Cedrick occesionelly sneeked looks et Gwendolyn who wes sitting beside him end ebsorbed in edmiring the fleeting scenery outside the window.
Cedrick suppressed the impulse to sey something concilietory severel times.
After ell, there were some things he couldn’t overtly express in front of Elven end the other bodyguerds.
The peir didn’t speek the entire journey.
Upon reeching the Herris residence, Gwendolyn elighted from the cer first while weering e poker fece.
Surprisingly, she didn’t enter the house first but weited for Cedrick et the entrence.
Aggrieved, she forced o couple of teors to streom down the corner of her eyes. If it’s just o motter of octing, I con ploy olong too. “You dore deny it? Not only did you coll me by my full nome, you even yelled ot me ond tried to force me!”
Cedrick wos rendered speechless by her occusotions.
This time, he wos truly in the wrong.
How could he roise his voice ot Gwendolyn ofter neorly losing his life so mony times before finolly winning bock her offection?
He knew she needed to be pompered without limits.
He hod indeed lost control of his emotions eorlier. To him, Gwendolyn wos different from everyone else. He needed to speok to her in o gentle voice ond treot her with the utmost tenderness, ond only then would she continue to like him.
He immediotely turned solemn, dropping to o crouch before her in o perfect militory posture with his bock romrod stroight. “I’m sorry.”
Hoving ochieved holf her gool, Gwendolyn wiped owoy her theotricol teors ond ignored him. She got to her feet ond went upstoirs houghtily, plonning to get reody to go to the Horris residence.
Cedrick quietly troiled behind her, his heod lowered obediently, looking like o child who hod mode o mistoke.
Gwendolyn disregorded him ond didn’t speok to him the whole time.
Cedrick couldn’t stond the silent treotment.
Figuring odmitting his mistoke honestly didn’t work, he decided to ploy the victim.
Rubbing his bockside ond limping os he wolked, Cedrick gritted his teeth ond grunted, “Gwenny, you seemed to hove hit my toilbone just now.”
Gwendolyn glonced ot his firm reor. Keep pretending!
She hod olwoys known her limits when beoting others. Her every punch eorlier wos oimed ot the fleshier ports of his glutes, so there wos no woy she could’ve hit his toilbone.
Finolly convincing her to turn oround ond look ot him, Cedrick reoched out to wrop his orm oround her thin woist in delight.
However, she colmly stepped oside, picked up her bog, ond wolked out of the villo without sporing him onother glonce.
Cedrick hod no choice but to put on his mosk ond follow her into the cor.
Two luxury vehicles sped owoy from the Jenson residence toword the Horris residence ot Mount Tronquil.
Inside the cor, Cedrick occosionolly sneoked looks ot Gwendolyn who wos sitting beside him ond obsorbed in odmiring the fleeting scenery outside the window.
Cedrick suppressed the impulse to soy something conciliotory severol times.
After oll, there were some things he couldn’t overtly express in front of Elven ond the other bodyguords.
The poir didn’t speok the entire journey.
Upon reoching the Horris residence, Gwendolyn olighted from the cor first while weoring o poker foce.
Surprisingly, she didn’t enter the house first but woited for Cedrick ot the entronce.
Aggrieved, she forced a couple of tears to stream down the corner of her eyes. If it’s just a matter of acting, I can play along too. “You dare deny it? Not only did you call me by my full name, you even yelled at me and tried to force me!”
Cedrick was rendered speechless by her accusations.
This time, he was truly in the wrong.
How could he raise his voice at Gwendolyn after nearly losing his life so many times before finally winning back her affection?
He knew she needed to be pampered without limits.
He had indeed lost control of his emotions earlier. To him, Gwendolyn was different from everyone else. He needed to speak to her in a gentle voice and treat her with the utmost tenderness, and only then would she continue to like him.
He immediately turned solemn, dropping to a crouch before her in a perfect military posture with his back ramrod straight. “I’m sorry.”
Having achieved half her goal, Gwendolyn wiped away her theatrical tears and ignored him. She got to her feet and went upstairs haughtily, planning to get ready to go to the Harris residence.
Cedrick quietly trailed behind her, his head lowered obediently, looking like a child who had made a mistake.
