Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 613

Chapter 613 Embarrassed

“Good day, Mr. and Mrs. Jenson,” greeted the police officers who passed by Cedrick and Gwendolyn politely.

Their gazes were all filled with envy.

Gwendolyn responded with a warm smile.

That left a gentle and friendly impression on everyone.

Even though Gwendolyn tried to play it cool, she thought Cedrick's choice was a little bizarre.

She had presumed they would be eating packed meals in Cedrick's office privately.

Little did she expect Cedrick to drag her to the cafeteria instead.

Gwendolyn was initially a little apprehensive about making such a high-profile appearance in the cafeteria of the bureau. Even though she was unsure what was going through the man's mind, she respected his decision after seeing how firm he was.

Cedrick grabbed a tray and took two sets of packed meals that came with a good mix of meat and vegetables.

Along his way, he called the leader of Team Nine, Jasper, who was collecting his meal, over. He whispered something into his ear before returning to the table where Gwendolyn was seated at.

Despite maintaining a calm expression, the man kept observing the police officers, who were having lunch, from the corner of his eye.

The food at the cafeteria was light and simple. It was nowhere comparable to Cedrick's cooking.

Then again, Gwendolyn figured she could make do with that since she had the chance to eat with Cedrick instead of eating alone back at the villa.

After she reluctantly finished half the food on her plate, the couple left the cafeteria hand in hand.

Before leaving, Gwendolyn vaguely heard some police officers discreetly talking about her and Cedrick. Of course, they were mainly praises and compliments of the two.

“Hubby.”

She tilted her head to the side, only to notice Cedrick staring dead ahead. A cold and solemn expression clouded his face, and it seemed that he was in a daze, lost in his thought.

Gwendolyn stood on tiptoes to lean closer to Cedrick's ear and called out to him again, “Hubby?”

Only then did the man snap back to his senses and turn to look at her. “What's wrong?”

“I should be the one asking that.”

Cedrick was, in truth, thinking about how Valentino knew about his every move in the Federal Bureau of Investigation.

I've tested the waters earlier. I believe I'll get an answer in no time. But how long has Grandpa been spying on me? Was he forced to utilize his connection this time because of Xander and Yael? Or did he plant a spy to watch me all along? It's no big deal if it's the former. But if it's the latter, that'll spell a big problem.

Deep down, he wished it was the former. After all, he only had Valentino by his side as far as his memory served.

Grandpa is very strict with me, but I know he loves me very much. Hopefully, there won't be anything that'll ruin our kinship.

“Hubby?”

Cedrick was lost in his thoughts again and only snapped out of it after Gwendolyn's voice rang out.

He was deeply apologetic. “I'm sorry, Darling. I—”

Gwendolyn lightly pressed her index finger on his thin lips, cutting him off.

“It's okay. There's no need to explain. I know what you're worrying about.”

The sense of trust in those words was so strong it made Cedrick feel much more secure than any other sweet-nothings.

He scanned the surroundings of the corridor, then slightly bent over and quickly planted a peck on Gwendolyn's cheek.

His black orbs lit up mischievously, almost as if he had secretly tasted sweet candy.

The tip of Gwendolyn's ear reddened slightly. She gently gave his shoulder a nudge. “Are there no surveillance cameras along this corridor? Won't you feel embarrassed if the guards in the surveillance room see that?”

“Why should I feel embarrassed for kissing my wife? They should be jealous of me for not having a wife like you to kiss.” Cedrick sounded proud.
