Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 552

Chapter 552 You Should Feel Guilty Instead

It was Jennifer's first time seeing Treyton in such a crestfallen state since she regained consciousness.

Recalling that she was indeed at fault in the matter, she gentled her tone. “Never mind, I'll forgive you this once. I was wrong to secretly leave without informing you today, making you worry. I apologize.”

Following her apology, Treyton forced a smile. “What a good girl, Jennifer. You can't do it again next time. Take two bodyguards with you and text me, okay?”

Jennifer said nothing.

If I were to take two bodyguards with me, they'd dog my every step, and there'd always been two pairs of eyes watching me. Such a feeling is awful, making me uneasy all over.

Nonetheless, she relented upon glimpsing the man's eyes that dimmed once more. “I'll definitely text you and inform you about where I'm going. But as for the bodyguards... can that depend on the situation? In an instance like today whereby I went gaming with Gwendolyn, I'd be perturbed to have two people watching at the side.”

In other words, she conceded to one of the requests and declined the other.

That would necessitate them both compromising.

To Treyton, he was already satisfied that she agreed to text him. “Okay, whatever you say, Jennifer.”

When they had reached a consensus, Jennifer remained standing at the side. She felt somewhat unsettled by his intent stare.

Remembering the matter they had yet to do that night, she cautiously asked, “Are you still going to test me tonight, Mr. Treyton?”

Treyton held her gaze. Clocking the discomfiture and trepidation in her eyes, he countered, “Do you want me to do so, Jennifer?”

Jennifer wavered for a moment before ultimately choosing to speak her mind. “I hadn't been in the mood the entire day, so I wasn't concentrating much when I studied. Little stuck to my mind. If you were to test me, I'd undoubtedly flop.”

All of a sudden, Treyton recalled Gwendolyn saying that Jennifer's academic foundation was weak and urging him to be more patient.

Thus, he understandingly pulled her over to him.

“Then, I won't test you tonight. Consider it as your day off, Jennifer.”

Hearing that, Jennifer breathed a sigh of relief, feeling like a heavy weight had been lifted off her. She beamed at him. “Thank you, Mr. Treyton. I'll try my best to memorize everything tomorrow.”

Treyton turned the matter over in his mind briefly. “How about this? Starting tomorrow, I won't test you right upon returning home from work at night. I'll tutor you for half an hour before doing so. What do you think?”

At that, Jennifer looked at him worriedly.

“You already have your plate full in the morning, Mr. Treyton. Would it be too tiring for you to tutor me in my graduate studies when you come home at night?”

Treyton held her hands tightly. “If you feel bad that I'm too tiring myself out, don't resist sleeping on the same bed with me at night. Let me hug you and have a restful sleep every night. Is that okay?”

Uh...

From Jennifer's perspective, it had only been a little over a month since she regained consciousness. That was to say that she had only been acquainted with the man for the same amount of time.

Hence, he was considered a friend she did not know that well.

Never mind that I'm living under the same roof with him despite only having known him for a handful of days, but he even wants to hug me to sleep every night now. The mere thought of it is strange and gives me goosebumps!

Although Treyton was incredibly handsome, and she was irrefutably tempted in the face of a perfect specimen of a man right before her, she could not get over the fact that they were practically strangers.

At her prolonged silence, Treyton knew that she was opposed to the idea inwardly. Smiling bitterly, he coaxed, “Sorry, that was overly presumptuous of me. I asked for too much, too fast. Never mind if you don't want it. Forget I ever said that.”

Jennifer swiftly went along with it. “Thank you, Mr. Treyton. I'm truly grateful. I'll definitely repay your kindness to me when I'm financially independent.”

That startled Treyton.

Does she mean repaying me with money? How could I possibly be strapped for cash when I hold half of the entertainment industry in the palm of my hand and am a son of the Harris family, the wealthiest family in the city?

“Forget about repaying me with money, Jennifer. I much prefer...” You repaying me with your body.
