Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 517

Chapter 517 A Honeymoon In A Foreign Land

Without having to think about it, Gwendolyn knew who exactly was the mysterious gentleman the flight attendant was referring to.

She heaved a sigh of exasperation.

Unexpectedly, Cedrick still made such a fanfare when I was all set to travel in a low profile.

“Please thank the gentleman on my behalf, but I don't think I'll take the first-class cabin. After all, I bought the business class. I'll take my own seat.” Brandishing the flight ticket in her hand at the flight attendant, she stepped into the cabin in her high heels.

A conflicted expression showed on the flight attendant's face. She wanted to persuade Gwendolyn further, but the latter had already gone a distance away.

Left with no other recourse, she could only make a call and report the matter to the mysterious gentleman.

Meanwhile, Gwendolyn found the seat she had bought in the empty cabin.

She stayed up late last night to amend the business proposal and was put through the wringer by Cedrick into the wee hours, so she had not slept much.

In the habit of catching up on sleep during a flight, she asked the flight attendant for a blanket no sooner had she taken her seat.

She draped it over her knees and switched her phone off. Within seconds, she had fallen asleep.

A while later, she vaguely sensed the pressure of the plane taking off. Groggy, she was so sleepy that she merely turned her head to the other side and continued sleeping.

She remained unmoved until gusts of warm breath hit her cheek, making her itch.

“Cut it out.”

Her brows furrowed, and she habitually huffed at Cedrick in her sleep.

Even so, her mind gradually cleared.

Cedrick reserved the entire plane, and I'm the only passenger. How could there be someone sitting beside me?

She instantly opened her eyes in alarm, only to be greeted by the sight of a handsome yet familiar face staring at her with a grin mere inches away.

There was a besotted look in the man's ebony eyes.

“Why are you here?”

It was none other than Cedrick.

“Darling, I... Ouch!”

Pinching the lobe of his ear, Gwendolyn twisted it hard. “How naughty of you, Ceddy. We agreed that you'd stay home and take care of Benny and Zendy. How could you leave all work and family matters behind and secretly board my plane?”

Cedrick's brows creased in pain, but he did not dare dodge, obediently taking the wrath of his wife.

“I've made arrangements for both. As Benny and Zendy's godfather, Charles will be taking care of them with Summer. For Jenson Group, I gave full authority to Nico. Subsequently, matters at the Federal Bureau of Investigation will be handled by Nico and Neville jointly. Truly, I only dared to leave with you after making all the arrangements. Take it easy, Darling. My ear hurts. It'd be awkward later if the party Neal sent to pick us up at the airport were to see my ear all red.”

Gwendolyn released her grip on him. Her expression remained stony, but her fingers naturally massaged his earlobe.

“You really can't behave. I told you not to come after me, but that's exactly what you did.”

Although he had made all the arrangements, she still could not shake off the uneasiness within her. “You know full well that you're the only person I can trust most. Benny and Zendy would be in danger with you away.”

Cedrick swiftly planted a kiss on her cheek. “It's been a long time since I've spent time alone with you after getting married because of the kids. This time, treat it as a honeymoon apart from work. Don't think about other things.”

Wrapping his arms around her slender waist, he continued, “Rest assured about the kids' safety. Charles is their godfather at the end of the day. Then, there's Summer keeping an eye on things at the side. Nothing would happen.”

Gwendolyn sighed.

Now that things have come to this, the plane has already taken off, and he has left Chanaean land with me. Nothing I say will be of any more use.

“Fine, then. I'll believe you this once. The kids must remain safe and sound before we return to the country. Otherwise, I'd never forgive your willful behavior this time and teach you a lesson that you'd remember forever.”
