Marcus patted his shoulders in relieve.
He wasn’t trying to torture his daughter. In fact, his wife had had a leash on him until she died.
Gwendolyn resembled her mother as they were both arrogant and unafraid of anything.
He didn’t want Gwendolyn to take the same path as her mother. Instead, he hoped she could be submissive and controlled by someone so she wouldn’t end up risking her life. His ultimate goal was for her to lead a peaceful life.
Cedrick’s expression was grim as he pondered over Marcus’ request while walking out of the study.
Gwendolyn was waiting for him in the corridor and sensed something amiss through his expression. “What did Dad tell you? Why do you look troubled?”
Cedrick gathered his thoughts and held her hand. “Nothing special. He reminded me to take care of you. It’s getting late. Let’s go.”
They held hands and made their way to their car to return to the Jenson residence.
In the car, Gwendolyn noticed his lips were ashen, and he looked unwell.
Feeling worried, she asked, “Are you sure you’re okay? Do you need me to get a doctor to take a look at you?”
