Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 548

Chapter 548 The Basement Plan Failed

Gwendolyn brushed off her concerns about Annie and refocused on her work.

Time seemed to pass faster when she was engrossed in her tasks.

Just as she was about to sign the final document, her phone alarm sounded.

It was the alarm she had set half an hour earlier, a reminder of her plans with Cedrick.

They were scheduled to have dinner with Valentino at his villa; it was also an opportunity to check if Benedict and Zendaya were well cared for.

If things didn't go according to plan, Gwendolyn held onto the hope that Cedrick's strategy would succeed, allowing her to bring the children back home at the earliest opportunity. The presence of her little ones would bring a much-needed sense of security and comfort to their lives.

As she pondered these thoughts, Gwendolyn tidied her desk and prepared to leave for the day.

As soon as she stepped out of her office, her phone buzzed with a call from Cedrick.

“Darling, I'm already in the parking lot.”

“That's fast.”

Cedrick chuckled softly. “When it comes to picking up my wife, I'm always prompt.”

His response warmed Gwendolyn's heart as she quickly made her way downstairs.

In the underground parking lot, Cedrick leaned casually against the car, his face as strikingly handsome as ever.

Upon seeing Gwendolyn, he opened the car door and, as usual, covered the roof with his hand to ensure she didn't bump her head while getting in. He then leaned down and helped her fasten the seatbelt.

Taking advantage of the proximity, Gwendolyn playfully pecked his cheek.

“My love, you've pampered me to the point of helplessness. If I were ever to leave you, I don't think I could even take care of myself.”

Cedrick cupped her cheek with one hand and kissed her lips, savoring her sweetness.

“We shall never part. My love for you is irreplaceable, and no one can take you away from me.”

Gwendolyn couldn't help but feel a little dissatisfied. “And what about Zendy? They say daughters are their father's little sweethearts from a past life. Are you not going to spoil her too?”

Unfazed by her response, Cedrick locked his gaze with Gwendolyn's, his dark eyes filled with an eternal, romantic sweetness.

“Zendy has a big brother, Benny. He will be responsible for doting and taking care of her.”

Gwendolyn nodded contentedly as the arrangement seemed reasonable.

After indulging in their tender moments, Cedrick returned to the driver's seat, fastened his seatbelt, and drove off.

They soon arrived at the Jenson residence's garage, and as Gwendolyn was about to get out of the car, Cedrick had already moved to the passenger side, opening the door for her. His arm slipped behind her knees, and he carried her out of the car.

Amidst the soft glow of the evening's rosy hues, Cedrick strolled through the winding alleyways with Gwendolyn in his arms.

She whispered in the man's ear, “We are having dinner with Grandpa. Isn't this a little too intimate?”

“Don't worry, Gwenny. Grandpa won't mind such a display of affection. Nobody can stop me from doting on my wife.”

Since he insisted on carrying her, Gwendolyn had no choice but to go along with it.

A few minutes later, they entered the courtyard.

Valentino had been eagerly waiting at the front gate upon hearing they were coming for dinner.

When Logan saw the couple approaching, he wheeled Valentino toward them.

“My precious grandson and granddaughter-in-law have arrived. How wonderful.”

They were delighted to see Cedrick carrying Gwendolyn like a cherished princess. It was a heartwarming and affectionate scene.

“Cedrick has finally learned how to care for others. My precious granddaughter-in-law deserves all the love and care.”

Valentino's and Logan's laughter filled the air, their hearts brimming with uncontainable happiness.

Cedrick echoed with enthusiasm, “Grandpa is right. Being able to marry Gwendolyn is the greatest blessing of my life. I must cherish and adore her for the rest of my life.”

Heartened by his words, Valentino's and Logan's smiles widened, their faces radiant with pure bliss.
