Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 458

Kieran was slightly stunned. His eyes soon fell on the two cups of coffee that she had brewed.

He didn’t expect her to prepare one for him too.

Picking up a cup, he took a sip of the coffee.

The water temperature was carefully controlled. After Inez poured away the first round of coffee that she had brewed, the bitterness of the coffee had been reduced.

Every sip of the rich and delicate flavor melted in his mouth. Inez had clearly brewed the coffee from her heart.

He finished it and said, “It’s good.”

Inez gave him a sidelong glance. “Is that all? You sound so half-hearted, Mr. Kieran. Don’t be stingy with your words when you’re praising a woman.”

“This is the most aromatic coffee that I have ever drank. Moreover, it’s brewed by my superior. I will never forget the taste for the rest of my life,” Kieran said again.

She chuckled, amused by how hard he was racking his brain to sing her praises.

Back then, she had always felt that he was a chaste cold fish. It had never struck her mind that he could be so adorable.

She offered him another cup. “We’ll go back after drinking this.”

Kieran accepted it. He liked it so much that he couldn’t seem to put it down.

The next morning, Cedrick called Craig over for a talk in the name of his superior. Craig could not avoid it.

He appeared in front of the entrance of Harrick Villa at ten sharp.

The security guards let him in quickly. His eyes were narrowed. There was no telling what he was feeling at that moment.

Cedrick and Gwendolyn were sitting in the living room, waiting for his arrival. Their expressions were solemn.

Craig adjusted the collar of his military attire before entering.

“Mr. Jenson, Mrs. Jenson.” He stood in front of them with the coffee table sitting in between.

Cedrick cast him a glance, signaling him to sit on the couch at the side. “Sit.”

“Thank you, Mr. Jenson.” As soon as he sat down, he could sense that Gwendolyn was about to say something, so he immediately spoke first. “I came here today for the matter regarding the Federal Bureau of Investigation. Let’s not talk anything about my family’s personal affairs.”

Right after he finished saying that, the temperature in the living room plummeted in an instant.

Gwendolyn’s face was dark. Clearly, she was holding back her fury.

While fixing his eyes on Craig, Cedrick reached out and held her hand to make her feel better.

“Well, as a superior, I think caring about my deputy director’s family affairs can be considered an official matter,” Cedrick said.

Craig froze. It took him a while to reply. “You’re right, Mr. Jenson.”

Cedrick went straight to the point. “Jennifer didn’t seem to be in good fettle yesterday. She only appeared once at the banquet. Is she better now?”

“Thank you for your concern, Mr. Jenson. She just caught a cold. It’s nothing serious. She’ll be fine after a few days,” Craig replied with a smile.

Cedrick continued asking, “When did you agree to the Abbot family’s engagement proposal?”

“Just before the banquet started. It was after Mrs. Jenson and Mr. Treyton asked about the engagement.”

In that case, he made his decision after comparing the engagement gifts from the different families.
