Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 426

With that, Cedrick’s wish to have an “unforgettable” wedding night was finally fulfilled.

The pleasure he experienced after being “tortured” was like a heavenly gift.

That night, Gwendolyn, too, had an unforgettable wedding night.

In contrast to her ecstatic experience, Cedrick had one that left a lot to be desired.

When morning arrived, rays of the morning sun bathed the room as they pierced through the half-opened curtains. The light clearly illuminated Gwendolyn’s and Cedrick’s exquisite-looking faces.

Cedrick was sprawled on the bed with his hand wrapped around Gwendolyn’s chest.

Even in his sleep, he had already made it a habit to avoid putting any pressure on her abdomen.

After spending the entire night consummating their marriage, both of them were so exhausted that they fell into a deep slumber.

It wasn’t until Gwendolyn’s phone rang that she reached out for it groggily.

It’s Ezra again.

Ezra had called to report that he and William had allowed Evelyn to escape.

“I’m sorry, Ms. Harris. We let our guard down for a moment when she seemed to be cooperating. We didn’t expect her to team up with Margaret’s son, Norman, to drug us and flee. We’re ready to accept any punishment you mete out.”

Ignoring his comment about the punishment, Gwendolyn inquired languidly, “Where is she now? Have you found her?”

“No, we trawled the river downstream the entire day but found nothing. We even searched the few villages downriver too. Since she was suffering from a gunshot wound, could she have been killed by the river’s bone-chilling cold?”

“Even then, we still need her body as proof.”

Gwendolyn’s voice took on a frosty tone as she instructed, “Continue the hunt and search the villages downriver again. She wouldn’t have gotten far and must be hiding in one of them.”

“Understood.”

With that, Gwendolyn ended the call. After she was interrupted by the report, her sleepiness had long dissipated. Thus, she sat up with her back against the headboard.

Behind her, Cedrick felt a sudden rush of cold air when she lifted the sheets. As Gwendolyn had slipped out of his grasp, his brows furrowed as he subconsciously reached out to grab her.

Underneath the blanket, Gwendolyn realized that he was holding on tightly to her nightgown.

Only when she lowered her eyes did she realize he was sleeping on his stomach.

Turning on her side, she twirled Cedrick’s hair with her fingers before leaning in to blow in his ear.

“Hubby, why are you sleeping in this position? Do you need me to give your back a massage?”

Narrowing his groggy eyes, Cedrick grunted in acknowledgment.

With that, Gwendolyn slipped back underneath the duvet and began rubbing his back with her fingers and palm.

While doing so, a mischievous glint flashed across her eyes.

The tip of her fingers began to reach down without warning, only stopping when she reached his groin.

As she stroked her fingers over his thin silk boxers, she could feel the obvious lump underneath it.

However, she felt him grab her wrist just when she was about to give it a rub.

With a sleepy expression, Cedrick raised his gaze to give her an affectionate look. “Stop fooling around. I’m still sleepy.”

Only then did Gwendolyn release her hand.

“Fine. You’ve done a lot the entire night, so sleep in while I head over to the Harris residence.”

She then leaned in to plant a kiss on his forehead.
