Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 384

When she saw Cedrick kneeling in repentance despite the fact that she was in the wrong, the anger within Gwendolyn was quickly replaced by guilt and sympathy.

Hence, she walked over to his side and gently poked him on the shoulder in an attempt to reconcile.

“Let’s stop fighting now, all right?”

Even though Cedrick snorted coldly and ignored her, Gwendolyn didn’t give up coaxing him.

“I didn’t eat anything after you dragged me back here, so I’m feeling a little hungry. Why don’t you be good and make me something to eat, Ceddy?”

“I’m not free. I’m being punished right now!”

Without budging an inch, Cedrick pulled out his phone from his pocket and prepared to send a message. “I’ll get Summer to prepare food for you.”

Nevertheless, Gwendolyn continued poking him on the shoulder. “But I prefer your cooking. Besides, if Summer comes over, Nico would definitely tag along. Don’t you have to get up by then? Otherwise, Nico would be sniggering at you behind your back, wouldn’t he?”

Cedrick’s typing fingers suddenly froze, but the solution quickly dawned upon him.

“I’ll tell her in advance that Nico isn’t allowed to come and she just needs to drop the food at the gate. After that, Ezra will bring it into the dining room for you.”

Gwendolyn was rendered speechless.

What a stubborn man. Getting through to him is just impossible.

With that, Gwendolyn bent down and wrapped her arms around him from behind. After taking his phone away from his hands, she nuzzled her face against his.

“Stop making a fuss. What will I have to do for you to get back up?”

Biting his lip, Cedrick could feel the anger within him diminished by the tenderness of Gwendolyn’s face.

After a quick deliberation, he suggested grumpily, “Admit that you’re wrong and promise not to lie to me again. Also, never allow another man to kiss you, even if it’s only your hand. Lastly, you’re forbidden to dine with another man alone!”

His demands annoyed Gwendolyn. “But that’s my job! I was discussing a business partnership with him over dinner. On top of that, didn’t I explain to you that kissing a hand is a custom in Erihal? It’s not a big deal at all!”

“Why don’t you feel any remorse? In fact, you still think that you’re right!”

Enraged by her words, Cedrick peeled her slender arms away from his waist. “Just let me be. I want to repent alone.”

In the end, Gwendolyn returned to her bed in exasperation and watched him from afar.

“It looks like you really need to reflect upon your actions. Have you grown arrogant because it has been a long time since I have given you a dressing down? I don’t mind you kicking up a fuss and beating someone up tonight, but why are you spurning the olive branch I’m extending to you? Also, let’s not forget the number of times you yelled at me tonight!”

Gwendolyn’s tirade caused Cedrick to freeze. “I don’t remember. I wasn’t counting.”

She continued, “In that case, I’ll punish you for not remembering. Kneeling for a single night isn’t enough. You should do it for an entire day instead. What do you think?”

The growing bitterness within Cedrick filled his chest with pain. With his nose burning intensely, he fell silent amidst the tears welling up in his eyes.

Sitting crossed-legged on the bed, Gwendolyn took a deep breath.

This was the first time she and Cedrick had a big fight ever since their reconciliation.

At the thought of the baby she was carrying, Gwendolyn breathed in deeply again as she tried hard to contain her emotions. She subsequently decided to stop looking at Cedrick and allow him to suffer a little.

When she picked up her phone and got back to work, silence descended upon the room despite the tension in the atmosphere.

After an argument that lasted more than ten minutes and being ignored by Gwendolyn for more than half an hour, Cedrick could feel the pain in his knees intensify.

Cedrick wrinkled his brows when his breathing grew increasingly heavy and cold sweat broke out across his forehead.

Although Gwendolyn appeared to be looking at her phone, she was cognizant of his suffering from the intermittent glances she snuck at him.

In the end, she let out a sigh when she couldn’t bear to see him suffer any longer.
