Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 359

Charles died with a smile on his face.

He seemed to have died with no regrets.

Gwendolyn’s knees went weak, and she shut her eyes because she couldn’t bear to see the pitiful sight.

The memories she had with him when they were children came rushing into her mind, and she was overwhelmed with sorrow.

She had killed the man who had loved her dearly for the past decade.

While leaning against Cedrick’s chest weakly, she uttered between her sobs, “Take me away, Ceddy. I’m never stepping foot in Erihal ever again.”

Cedrick kissed her forehead tenderly and comforted her, “It’s all over now. He gave you his blessing, and you gave him yours. This is how he wanted things to end.”

Cedrick knew Charles had planned things out all along. Charles was a stubborn and prideful man. He lost everything when he lost Gwenny. He had nothing left to live for. I did him a great favor by letting her kill him. As for Her Highness, I guess I’ll have to take things one step at a time.

Cedrick hugged the emotional Gwendolyn tightly and ordered his men to deal with Charles’ body before sending it back to the Newton family in Chanaea.

After dealing with the aftermath, Cedrick carried Gwendolyn in his arms and left Flola Grand Cathedral without looking back.

Nico woke up on the private plane on their way back, and Nicole was the one who bandaged his wounds.

The Super Antiviral was kept safely in a freezer, and they planned to hand it over to the laboratory to check the composition upon arriving in Chanaea.

Gwendolyn had already removed her wedding gown and changed into a fur coat. However, she was still wearing the flats Charles had helped her put on.

At that moment, she looked devastated as she stared at the clouds outside the plane.

Cedrick was hugging her, but he kept silent because he knew she was still bothered by what had happened in the cathedral.

Nico and Nicole were also in the first-class cabin with Cedrick and Gwendolyn.

Unlike Cedrick and Gwendolyn, Nico and Nicole were rather cheery.

“Nico, the soldiers were all saying you were their captain! You’re so amazing!” Nicole exclaimed.

Nico felt awkward because Cedrick and Gwendolyn were present. “The most amazing person on this plane is Ms. Gwendolyn, followed by Boss. I’m nothing compared to them.”

“Is that so?” Nicole glanced at Gwendolyn and flashed a friendly smile. “Nico, you never told me your full name. What’s your last name?”

Nico was stumped. Neville and Swain are code names. Neville’s real name is Finn Johnson, and Swain’s real name is Jason Yablon. I never had a real name because Boss picked me up near the borders when I was ten. Nico is the only name I have…

“About my name—”

Before Nico could finish his sentence, Cedrick answered, “His last name is Jenson.”

Nico turned toward Cedrick instantly and looked at him puzzledly. “Boss?”

Cedrick flashed a faint smile and uttered in a deep voice, “I’m planning to welcome you to the Jenson family once we arrive at the Jenson residence. You’ll be considered as my dad’s adopted son. In other words, you will not only be my subordinate, but you will also be my younger brother, Nico Jenson.”

Nico’s eyes reddened, and he was tearing up. “You’re so nice to me, Boss…”

His frown deepened when he heard Nico telling him that Gwendolyn experienced pregnancy symptoms such as morning sickness and drowsiness as early as two and a half weeks into the pregnancy. Why did she experience those symptoms so quickly? That can’t be a good thing… I hope the child will be born into this world in a healthy state so that Gwenny won’t suffer from this.

Meanwhile, the entertainment industry in Chanaea was welcoming the new year with all sorts of awards shows.

The movie Jennifer starred in, Ancient Legend, was well-received and rated highly. As a result, she won the Best Actress Award.

After the awards ceremony, Jennifer, her assistant, and her manager brought Jennifer’s trophy back to their lounge.

As they entered the room, someone from outside held the door to prevent the assistant from closing the door shut.

“Wait!”

It was a pleasant voice of a man.

The smile on Jennifer’s face vanished at once. That voice is so familiar. That’s definitely Walter.

Walter was nominated for an award, but he didn’t win it.

With a gleeful smile on his face, he walked in and looked at Jennifer, who was sitting in front of the dressing table. “Jennifer, you’ve improved a lot over the past few months! Congratulations on winning the Best Actress Award!”

Jennifer touched up her makeup expressionlessly and ignored his presence.

The assistant and the manager weren’t friendly toward Walter either. His presence ruined the mood!

As someone who was as bold as brass, Walter seemed to be immune to the awkward atmosphere. He approached Jennifer and squatted down next to her. While looking at her passionately, he apologized, “I made a mistake back then, Jennifer. I was blind, and I took you for granted. I only realized how deeply I care about you after you left me. Would you please forgive me?”
