Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 540

Chapter 540 Mania Acting Up Again

Cedrick stopped blowing on the soup, stunned for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his senses.

“Darling, did you forget? Last night, you said the bedside lamp was too bright and asked me to take it away. You also told me not to put something like that near the bed anymore.”

Gwendolyn was dumbfounded.

“Why can't I remember anything? Besides, that lamp wasn't even that bright. Why did I think it was blinding?”

Cedrick smiled warmly as he continued to blow on the spoonful of soup. He brought it to her mouth and asked, “How should I know? A woman's mind is an unfathomable thing. You've been exhausted from work lately, so you might not have cared about small matters like these. It's normal to forget about it after waking up.”

Is that normal? I don't think so! Gwendolyn felt it was strange. Although deep in thought, she obediently opened her mouth to let Cedrick feed her.

Cedrick stared at her fondly and tenderly while his hands continued to stir the soup to cool it down.

While Gwendolyn ate, her gaze drifted over to the other side of the bed. The strange feeling in her heart increased. “Hubby, why is your bedside lamp still there?”

To a perfectionist like her, if she were to remove the bedside lamp on her side, she would also have Cedrick's removed since the bedroom would look weird with only one lamp. Why would I remove only one bedside lamp because it was blinding?

Cedrick remained calm as he coaxed her, “Darling, I'll take it away later if you don't like it.”

I will not put any more dangerous items on the bedside tables. If possible, I want to move Gwenny's dresser out of the bedroom too. We don't need anything else but this bed.

However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself.

Seeing that Gwendolyn was still ruminating over the unusual situation in the room, Cedrick held out another spoonful of soup. “All right, Gwenny. It's just a small matter. You don't have to get worked up over it. You have a lot of work to complete today, right? It's almost one in the afternoon. I'll send you to Harris Group after you're done eating.”

“It's almost one?”

At that point, Gwendolyn was beginning to grow doubtful about her life. Why do I sleep until noon every day? Why would I either have a headache or feel exhausted when I wake up? Why don't I wake up in between?

Cedrick quickly fed her more food to stop her from further thinking of the recent mysterious events.

Gwendolyn obediently finished the bowl of food. After that, she laid down on the bed while Cedrick gave her a massage.

The soreness she felt all over her body was soon relieved. She sat up and wrapped her slim arms around Cedrick's slender waist.

Since his waist had injuries from the whipping last night, Cedrick trembled slightly in pain as he scrunched his eyebrows.

Afraid that Gwendolyn would notice his odd demeanor, he forced himself to keep a neutral expression. He straightened his back and endured the pain as she hugged him.

Gwendolyn gently pecked his lips. “My husband is so considerate. If you continue to spoil me like this, I'll become a spoiled brat who doesn't know how to do anything herself.”

Cedrick leaned forward and lightly rubbed the tip of his nose against hers. Smiling sweetly, he said, “It's nothing. My Gwenny is ambitious and wants to do great things. As your husband, it's only natural that I help you with these trivial matters.”

Gwendolyn was touched. She tightened her arms around him and hugged him. “Thank you for being willing to support my career, Hubby.”

Cedrick's eyelashes quivered. He quickly adjusted his breathing before whispering into her ear, “It's the least I can do.”

After being in each other's embrace for some time, Gwendolyn finally got out of bed and went to wash up.

Only when she entered the bathroom did Cedrick's calm exterior crack. He furrowed his brows and hissed in pain.

Luckily, he had already changed into a suit, so Gwendolyn did not notice anything. Since she was sharp-witted, she would've found out about his injuries if he were still in his thin pajamas.

Twenty minutes later, Gwendolyn was changed into her usual working attire and had also put on some light makeup. Holding hands, they left the house together.

Cedrick drove Gwendolyn to the entrance of Harris Group himself.

When she disappeared into the company, his expression turned solemn as he wound up the window.

He took out his phone and called Joshua to tell him everything that happened the night before.

Joshua remained calm after listening to Cedrick's story.

“When Gwendolyn's mania acts up, she will lose her ability to think logically. Last night, instead of stopping to think, she chose to grab the bedside lamp and smash it. This is considered a normal form of venting when her mania acts up. When she wakes up, she won't remember what she did, either.”

Cedrick understood Joshua's explanation. He was a little disappointed, but at the same time, he felt relieved.

Thank goodness Gwenny isn't using her illness to purposely torture me.

Cedrick was silent while Joshua continued, “Cedrick, you should drop by the lab. Let me have a look at your injuries and make sure they're not serious. You can also take home a few strong sedatives in case of any emergencies.”

“Okay,” Cedrick agreed. He turned the car around and drove to the lab.

At the lab, Cedrick took off his shirt and let Joshua check his wounds.

Joshua sighed in relief. “Thank goodness. They're just superficial injuries. You didn't injure any muscles or bones. But... for your body to be whipped to this extent, it must hurt a lot, huh?”

Cedrick stared at him strangely. “Why don't you try getting whipped a few times and see if it hurts?”

Previously, Joshua said that taking too many potent sedatives would affect the nervous system, which isn't conducive to future treatments. It might even have an impact on curing Gwenny's mania.

Regardless, I'll keep these sedative shots, just in case. I won't consider using them unless I have no other choice.
