Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 398

Gwendolyn’s expression became cold instantly.

At the thought of everything that happened at the Harris residence the day before, she sneered, “Even you don’t believe in this paternity test, but my brothers who have loved and cared for me for over twenty years believe it. Isn’t this ironic? As for Kieran…” The ironic look on Gwendolyn’s face intensified as she continued, “He was the first to believe the paternity test result after seeing Alban’s fingerprint on it yesterday.”

She couldn’t trust anyone in the Harris family now.

When Eloise was secretly released, she taunted Gwendolyn on her way out. “He has been acting all innocent and weak in that family of yours for so long now. I can’t wait to see the look on your face when he reveals his true nature! I’m pretty sure it won’t be a long wait, though! Hahaha! It must really hurt to be betrayed by the person you love the most, huh? I’ll look forward to the day you break down after learning the truth, Gwendolyn!”

Gwendolyn previously thought Eloise was referring to Cedrick, but now that she thought about it carefully, she realized that she must be referring to one of her brothers.

The more Gwendolyn thought about it, the more disappointed she was.

Cedrick fell into deep thought again.

Although he had only heard about yesterday’s incident at the Harris residence from Gwendolyn, he believed that her brothers were not foolish based on his previous interactions with them. It was impossible for them to overlook these doubtful aspects.

Especially Kieran, who was usually quiet and emotionless. Among the three brothers, he was the most cunning and smart.

Although Kieran wasn’t talkative, his love for Gwendolyn was no less than Asher and Treyton’s.

If Kieran didn’t truly care for Gwendolyn, he wouldn’t have gone through the trouble of giving Cedrick difficult tasks and making him experience the pain of childbirth to appreciate the pain that Gwendolyn would endure in the future.

Furthermore, Kieran and Treyton prepared the three toasts personally.

How could their love for Gwendolyn vanish just because of a paternity test report?

“Perhaps the news was too sudden for them to react, Gwenny. Once they understand it better, I trust that they will come to believe you.”

Cedrick and Sienna from yesterday shared the same thoughts.

Unwilling to discuss her brothers anymore, Gwendolyn changed the subject. “Regarding the incident of Dad falling down the stairs, I still feel that something is off even though Evelyn explained it clearly yesterday. Even if Dad was really furious upon learning about the paternity test, he wouldn’t lose his composure like that and fall down the stairs easily. Furthermore, Lorelai and Leif just so happened weren’t by his side.”

Cedrick thought about it seriously. “This will not be an easy investigation. After all, it happened at the Harris residence. If we summon the servants with an order from the Federal Bureau of Investigation, it will alert the perpetrator if there’s any.”

“You’re right. We can investigate this matter further when we have the opportunity in the future.”

A certain beautiful face emerged in Gwendolyn’s mind. “Let’s start by investigating Evelyn. Find out where she has been to recently, and who she has been close to.”

“Okay, I’ll instruct Nico to do it later.”

Clutching the paternity test report, Gwendolyn continued grimly, “We have to investigate Alban too. I don’t trust him either. We need to check his recent whereabouts, his family’s situation, and his financial records.”

“Don’t worry, we can trust Nico to handle this,” Cedrick replied.

Then, he cupped her face and gave her a kiss on her tender lips. “But for now… I want you to comfort me, Gwenny…”

He gently rubbed his nose against hers and fixated his gaze on her expectantly in an attempt to divert her mind from the trivial matters that were bothering her.

Gwendolyn raised an eyebrow, feigning ignorance. “Why do you need comforting? What are you unhappy with?”

Cedrick nestled into her embrace and rubbed against her playfully. “Gwenny, I’m so poor now that I must rely on you to support me in the future. I only have you, and I want to be pampered by you…” he said coquettishly.

If Gwendolyn abandoned him at that moment, he would be truly left with nothing.

However, he knew that she would never do that.

After holding his face in her hands and kissing him passionately, Gwendolyn rolled over and pinned him beneath her.
