Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 609

Chapter 609 Waiting Is Not A Problem

He can only last two days?

Yael's heart throbbed with pain. He could not imagine how his precious son was being tormented in another cell.

“Cedrick, he's your cousin and Dad's grandson for goodness' sake. You're a heartless b*stard!”

As Cedrick emerged from the cell, he could still hear Yael's faint swearing from inside. With a grim look on his face, he continued walking along the corridor and pretended not to hear it.

Instead of returning to his office, Cedrick walked to the other end of the corridor where Xander was locked up with a group of prisoners.

Just as an officer took out the key to unlock the door, Cedrick stopped him.

“It's fine. I'm not planning to go in.”

He stood right outside and observed the condition inside through the cell bars.

Raoul and the others were sitting by the wall, some asleep, while others resting.

After scanning everyone in the cell, Cedrick—not wanting to startle the others—asked the officer softly, “Where's Xander?”

The officer took a quick look around. “I remembered him being ostracized by the others and ordered to stay in the toilet at the back. Mr. Xander slept there last night.”

Xander had always prided himself as the elegant son of the Jenson family and was a clean freak. Yet now he had to sleep in a dirty toilet and did so without protest.

He has been spoiled all this while by the family. There's no way he'll behave if he isn't taught a lesson.

“Mr. Jenson, would you like to have a cigarette?”

The officer pulled out an expensive-looking cigarette case and offered it to Cedrick with both hands.

Cedrick didn't bother to look, let alone show any intention of taking one. “Send more men to keep an eye on this cell. Make sure no one is killed or seriously injured. I'll be back tomorrow.”

“Understood, Mr. Jenson.”

Kieran brought Inez to Salinsburgh a few days ago and took her everywhere in the city.

They visited the largest horror theme park in Chanaea and experienced many terrifying games.

The most thrilling ride of all was none other than its famous Ferris wheel.

Inez finally felt reinvigorated after a fun-filled couple of days. Never before in her life had she dropped everything at work and had fun without any reservations.

On that day, she and Kieran visited the most luxurious commercial area in the city which Harris Group was located within.

Since they were already in the neighborhood, it would be rude not to drop by Gwendolyn's office.

After shopping till they dropped, the two of them visited Gwendolyn with their hands filled with bags.

Gwendolyn, who happened to have finished a meeting and was taking a break in the CEO's office, was delighted to receive the engaged couple.

“You must be in a really good mood to have bought so many things, Kieran. You didn't make Inez pay for them, did you?”

“Do I look like a stingy man to you, Kiddo?” Kieran replied in a calm yet monotonous voice.

Gwendolyn covered her mouth to hide her laughter. “I'm just worried that your cluelessness would scare Inez away.”

Inez, too, couldn't help but chuckle along with her. “Mr. Kieran insisted on paying for everything. When I offered to do so, he took my bag away and just refused to let me.”

Gwendolyn nodded in approval and flashed a thumbs-up at her brother. “Well done, Kieran.”

Thereafter, she went to the bookshelf to retrieve her equipment for making drip coffee. She wanted to make some for her two guests.

Kieran quickly followed her and took the equipment from her hands. “Let me do it. It's been a long time since you tasted the coffee I made.”
