Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 336

Chapter 336 Must Not Say 

Suddenly, Charles dashed toward Gwendolyn from the palace. 

When he saw she was still there, joy returned to his countenance. Immediately, he grabbed her wrist. 

“What are you doing?” Gwendolyn was dumbstruck for a second as she stared at her hand. When she raised her head, she saw his teary blue eyes. I’ve never seen him sad before. He seems surprisingly genuine like this. It’s like he’s a different person from his usual self. 

Charles didn’t even care Nico was around as he pleaded in a choked voice, “You’ve opened my eyes with your words earlier, Gwen. I promise I’ll reflect on my actions and do better. You gave Cedrick a chance before. Can you do the same with me?” 

Gwendolyn gazed at him in silence. 

With a sincere look, he continued, “I’ll show you that I’m the man who loves you the most in this world. Since we’re already here, please don’t leave, okay? Mother is still waiting for us to join her for lunch.” 

She glanced at Nico as she thought about the duke. 

Moments later, she softened her tone. “What about your injury?” 

Charles grinned nonchalantly. “I’ll press a bag of ice on it later. If the mark is too obvious, you can help me cover it up with makeup.” 

“Sure.” Gwendolyn sighed with relief in her mind. I didn’t expect to get away with doing that so easily. “I still don’t like the blue gown, though. If you insist I wear that, I’ll still leave.” I’ll never wear a matching outfit with him. 

Charles relented, “Fine. As long as you don’t leave, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to.” 

After she nodded, they reentered Alzer Palace. Nico and Jonah followed behind in silence. 

Back in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Craig narrowed his eyes while sitting at his desk. 

His face was hidden behind a cloud of thick smoke as he held a cigar. 

Upon listening to his subordinate’s report, he grabbed the ashtray on the table and smashed it on his subordinate without warning. “Useless!” 

The subordinate silently lowered his head and endured the pain. 

Craig growled, “Why is Asher at Cedrick’s house? It’s a huge problem if even Cedrick’s direct subordinates aren’t allowed to enter the building! Continue to investigate until you figure out what’s going on with Cedrick!” 

The subordinate replied with a shaky voice, “Our men have been staking out at the Jenson residence, though. We’ve also contacted Mr. Yael, asking him to send people to monitor Mr. Jenson’s villa. I think a few male members of the Harris family have been staying there recently. We can’t find any opportunities

Without warning, Craig lobbed a coffee cup at his subordinate. “Don’t take your eye off the building! Sooner or later, Asher will have to leave! If he doesn’t, break into the villa by force! I need to know Cedrick’s condition!”

“Understood!” the subordinate replied before leaving the room. 

Meanwhile, Craig brushed his finger on the nameplate sitting on his desk with thoughts swirling in his mind. After I rescued Charles from Cedrick, he told me what the guy was contracted with. Once the S404 RNA virus invasion reaches late–stage, it’ll cause severe complications. I hope Cedrick will be crippled for life! 

“Oh, Mr. Jenson. You’ve been in that position for far too long. It’s time for someone else to take over,” he uttered sinisterly while his eyes shone with ambition. 

Kylie Lund was the most distinguished woman in Erihal. 

At noon, Gwendolyn and Charles headed to Kylie’s palace after dressing appropriately. 

Before they arrived at the entrance, they saw Gerhardt exiting the palace in dignified attire. 

Following behind him was a fair, blue–eyed young man with a dashing countenance. 

Gerhardt was smiling when he spoke to the young man. However, the instant he saw Charles, his expression darkened icily. 

Scoffing, he pretended not to see Charles, shifted his gaze away, and prepared to leave in another direction. Annoyance was scribbled all over his bearded face. 

“Sir.” Gwendolyn smiled and exclaimed in fluent Epean, “Why are you leaving the moment you see us, sir?” 

Charles was originally planning to ignore Gerhardt as well. After she drew Gerhardt’s attention, he had no choice but to greet Gerhardt. 

He introduced the duke to Gwendolyn in a soft tone, “This is Lord Gerhardt, Gwen. Behind him is his son, Caesar Rotundum.” 

“I see.” She mimicked Charles‘ movements and bowed at the men before her. “Nice to meet you, Lord Gerhardt, Mr. Caesar.” 

Just as she finished speaking, Caesar chuckled. “You’re doing it wrong, miss. In this country, men and women greet others differently.” 

Gwendolyn glanced at Charles with a clueless look and smiled. “Is that so? It’s my first time here, so I’m unfamiliar with the culture.“. 

“It’s your first time here? For you to be able to speak Epean this fluently is amazing, miss.” Upon ending his sentence, Caesar approached her, picked up her hand gentlemanly, and kissed its back. He found her stunning. “You’re so beautiful and smart, miss. I like you.” 

“Caesar!” Charles slapped Caesar’s hand away. “You mustn’t utter that word casually. Besides, she’s my-” 

“It’s fine!” Interrupting Charles, Gwendolyn stepped forward and stretched her right hand toward Caesar. “You greeted me according to your country’s etiquette. In Chanaca, we do so with a handshake.” 

Excitement glimmered in Caesar’s blue eyes as he beamed innocently. 

He politely shook her hand after stretching his right toward her. 

“Nice to meet you, Mr. Caesar. I’m Gwendolyn Shalders Harris. I hope I’ll have the chance to visit you the duke at your residence next time.” Lifting her eyebrow slightly, Gwendolyn stared into his eyes.

Caesar peered at his hand, puzzled. Seconds later, he seemed to have comprehended something.
