Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 429

Back then, admiration, fondness, and affection were written all over Inez’s face whenever she saw him.

However, her expression appeared complicated this time.

After struggling internally for a long time, she lowered her eyes and finally said, “Mr. Kieran, I’m very sorry for bothering you for half a year back then.”

Staring at her quietly, Kieran said nothing and waited for her to continue.

“I might never bother you again from now you because my dad decided to marry me off to the Campbell family. I’m engaged now.”

Kieran’s expression froze. Pursing his lips and contemplating for a while, he uttered, “Well, congratulations.”

His words stabbed into Inez’s heart like a dagger, the agony so intense that she could feel it all over her body.

Resisting the urge to cry, she acted tough and said, “I know you never liked me. I was being hopeful for so long. From now on, I will wash away my feelings for you bit by bit until I can completely let go of them and never bother you ever again.”

As she reached the end of her sentence, her voice grew thicker, while her eyes couldn’t help but redden as tears welled up in them.

Although she was an independent career woman in the business world, she was a fool longing for the person she loved to reciprocate her feelings when it came to love.

However, Kieran’s congratulations had snapped her back to reality.

Noticing her sorrow, Kieran slowly reached out his hand to comfort her.

However, in the next instant, his arm hung in mid-air as he didn’t know what right he had to do so.

While he was still in a dilemma, Inez had already decided.

“Goodbye, Mr. Kieran.”

After leaving him with those final-sounding words, she turned around and ran away.

Kieran’s hand was still frozen in the air. He stood transfixed for a long time without budging, unable to discern how he felt. Strangely, his heart was filled with complicated emotions.

It wasn’t until an arm rested on his shoulder that he regained his senses.

It was Treyton. He had seen Inez leaving while sobbing when he came over.

Sighing, he spoke up for Inez and grumbled sternly, “Kieran, listen, you’re at fault here. She pursued you for half a year. Now that I see the disappointed look on your face, you don’t look like someone who has no feelings for her at all. In a relationship, things will end miserably if your partner is always the giver while you keep being passive. You should know your true feelings. If you really like her, you should win her back. If not, then give her your blessings.

Adjusting his luxurious wristwatch, Kieran said without hesitation, “She’s engaged now. There’s no need for me to meddle in her life. From now on, we will go our separate ways and live our own lives.”

“Does that mean you truly do have feelings for her?” Treyton pressed.

After pondering for a while, Kieran gave a short response in a cold tone, “No.”

Then, he turned around and left.

Treyton hurriedly chased after him. “No? I don’t believe you! Keep pretending. You were hesitant! Kieran, others might not know you well, but certainly not me. If you keep being a blockhead, you will lose a precious wife to someone else soon!”

Even then, Kieran’s lips remained sealed. He wore an icy look, maintaining his cold attitude.

Treyton was worried about him from the bottom of his heart. “Kieran, you have to act fast if you want to win her back. You won’t stand a chance if you keep being like this. I hope you don’t end up in misery by then!”

Meanwhile, Cedrick shooed the chattering crowd in the ward away.

Silence finally returned to the room.

Cedrick blew on the oatmeal and fed Gwendolyn each spoonful patiently. His deep dark gaze made him look like something was weighing on his mind.

After being together for a long time, Gwendolyn could sense something was bothering him with just one glance.

“Cedrick, what’s wrong?”

Before he could say anything to brush her off, Gwendolyn quickly added, “Don’t forget how you suffered for keeping a secret from me back then. I will teach you a good lesson after I finish my postpartum confinement if you dare lie to me again!”
