Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 568

Chapter 568 A Quick Apology To Appease Inez 

Kieran followed Inez out of the conference room and back to the CEO’s office. 

Sensing her foul mood, he refrained from speaking throughout the entire journey. 

After entering the office, Inez walked over to her chair, sat down, and turned to Kieran. 

She lectured, “Mr. Kieran, it’s a basic requirement to put your phone on silent mode when you’re in a meeting. You- 

Before she could finish, Kieran extended his left palm toward her and apologized, “I’m sorry, it was my mistake. There won’t be a next time. If you’re angry, you can punish me with a ruler like last time.” 

Inez paused, unable to continue reprimanding him because his sincere attitude rendered her lecture useless. 

As she stared at Kieran behaving obediently, her anger dissipated. 

“Where did you learn to admit to your mistake right away? It’s so unlike your stubborn self from before.” “Being stubborn doesn’t get you anywhere. If a man has low emotional intelligence, he will be destined to be lonely because he won’t find a wife,” Kieran replied seriously. 

Inez stifled a laugh. 

During their time together, the more she spent time with him, the more she found him pleasing. 

Sometimes she thought he was adorably silly, and other times she admired his earnest pursuit of her. 

In truth, she was moved by his persistence in pursuing her for several months. After all, he was Kieran Harris, the second son of Salinsburgh’s wealthiest family and a man known for his aloofness and 

arrogance. 

As she pondered, Kieran remained obediently standing before her with his left hand extended toward her, ready to receive any punishment. 

If he hadn’t admitted his mistake and resorted to stubbornly defending himself, perhaps she would have chosen the simplest and most brutal way to educate her disobedient secretary out of frustration. 

However, his upright attitude made it impossible for her to punish him. 

At the thought of that, she gently tapped his palm with her hand. 

“Considering it’s your first mistake, I’ll deduct a week of your salary. Any objections?” 

It was only a week’s salary deductions. 

Besides, Kieran was never short of money. 

“No objections. Your punishment is fair, Ms. Mossey,” he replied. 

Inez was thrown off by Kieran’s praise. She blinked and refocused her gaze on the computer screen, casually saying. “Just now at the meeting, I noticed that you turned off your phone completely. The messages were quite urgent, so maybe there is something important. You should take a look.” 

Apology To Appease Incz 

i was then Kieran only membered that he had turned his phone off 

When he watched on her phone, he saw that all messages were from Gwendolyn 

Gwendolyn How are you Kieran? Did you manage to capture Iner’s heart? 

When are you bringing back to Salisburgh? 

To real you both to dinner as the head of the family! 

the way planning to have a paternity test done recently, but I don’t trust others to handle it. If you have some freely please come back and help me out. 

Bring we too you can! After all, I’m partly responsible for your successful engagement! 

Gwendolyn ended her flurry of texts with a smirking emoji. 

Amused by Gwendolyn, a smile appeared on Kieran’s usually stern face. 

Upon seeing him smiling at the phone. Inez couldn’t help asking, “If I may ask, what has brought you such joy, Mr. Kieran 

Kieran replied, “No need for the formalities, my dear fiancée.” 

Lately, he had been mentioning their engagement quite frequently, and he was becoming more comfortable exercising the privileges that came with it. 

Inez played along, saying, “Yes, I’m asking you as your fiancée. I’m just curious.” 

It was the quickest she had ever admitted to being his fiancée. Delighted, Kieran explained everything to her. 

“Kiddo texted, asking if I can return to Salinsburgh soon to help her with something.” 

As Inez listened to him attentively, her eyes dimmed. 

After only a little over a month of pursuing her, was he going back to Salinsburgh to resume his position as the esteemed Mr. Kieran of the Harris family? 

She felt a strange mix of emotions but couldn’t pinpoint exactly what she was feeling. 

After a moment of silence, she asked, “So, how soon do you plan to leave, Mr. Kieran? And… will you be coming back to Fairlake?” 

Kieran approached her and handed her his phone to show her the messages. “Kiddo wants you, her futur sister-in-law, to come with me. She’s inviting you to a meal.” 

Inez was stunned. Pointing at herself, she asked, “Me going with you to Salinsburgh?” 

Inez finished reading Gwendolyn’s messages soon enough. 

She was surprised by Gwendolyn’s acceptance of her because she had always thought that the Harris family had very high standards for their descendants’ spouses. A girl from a small affluent family in Fairlake wouldn’t catch the attention of such a prestigious family like the Harris family, and their engagement only happened because of Kieran’s stubbornness. 

However, it turned out that Gwendolyn was willing to accept her, which made her quite delighted. 

“Will you come with me, Inez? Just treat it as a short vacation and an opportunity to relax for a few days.” Despite feeling happy, Inez didn’t immediately agree. “Didn’t we agree that you would pursue me for a year? If I go to Salinsburgh to meet your family now, doesn’t it mean that I accept the engagement?” 

“It’s just a meal; it doesn’t represent anything. Our family is not as traditional as you think, especially now that Kiddo is the head of the family. Her decisions are more open-minded. Even if you go back with me, I will continue to pursue you,” Kieran replied earnestly. 

At that point, Inez had nothing to worry about. 

However, she still didn’t agree right away. “If I go, things may get complicated at Mossey Corporation. I’m afraid I have to consult my parents before making a decision.” 

Kieran understood and nodded. Then, he returned to his desk opposite hers in the CEO’s office. 

Since it wasn’t time to knock off yet, he quickly immersed himself in handling the unfinished documents on his desk. 

Once it was time to leave, they went back to the Mossey residence together. 

Daring dinner, Kieran informed Jerome and Madelyn about his plan to go to Salinsburgh with Inez.
