Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 635

Chapter 635 Lose Oneself

With a sweep of his arms, Kieran pulled the covers over them.

Inez, still feeling uneasy, asked, “Mr. Kieran, Gwendolyn and Mr. Jenson are in the next room. Won’t they hear us if we’re too loud?”

“No. The walls of this hotel room are thick and well soundproofed.”

“But-

“No buts.” Kieran decisively sealed her lips with his, kissing her passionately.

“Don’t worry. Kiddo and Cedrick must be tired and will probably wake up late. They won’t say anything.”

Subsequently, Inez stopped asking questions, willingly succumbing to Kieran’s tenderness.

Meanwhile, in the room next door, the drapes were tightly drawn, blocking any light from filtering into the room and obscuring the intimate scene inside from view.

Gwendolyn’s waist was utterly sore from making love with Cedrick for most of the night. Only at that point did he relent out of compassion.

By morning, they had barely managed to sleep a few hours. Feeling extremely tired, they even planned to skip breakfast.

In the pitch-black, confined space, Gwendolyn nestled in the nook of Cedrick’s arm.

Their bodies were pressed again each other as their breaths intermingled while they slept soundly.

After resting for another hour, Gwendolyn was awakened by her phone on the bedside table, which rang as she received a video call invitation on WhatsApp.

Supporting her aching waist, she slowly sat up and reached for the device on the bedside table.

The video call was from Charles.

Before going on that trip, she had made a special arrangement with Charles. They would video call every morning so she could see her children. Only by knowing they were safe and in good health could she enjoy her vacation at Turlen with peace of mind.

Gwendolyn was still groggy but eager to see Benedict and Zendaya because of the incoming video call.

As she switched on the light and was about to answer the call, her phone was snatched away by Cedrick, who had just woken up beside her.

He sighed in resignation and signaled at Gwendolyn with his eyes, reminding her that she was only clad in a silk nightgown.

“Are you sure you want to video call Charles looking like this? Aren’t you afraid he’ll get aroused?”

His voice was laced with a hint of jealousy. He decisively rejected the call yet was sensible enough to text Charles: Give me five minutes. I’ll call you back.

After sending the message, he forcefully pulled Gwendolyn into his arms and carried her up from the bed.

Gwendolyn, feeling the sudden weightlessness, instinctively clung to his neck, seemingly seeking security. “What are you doing?”

“Freshen up,” he responded tersely and solemnly while striding toward the washroom with her in his embrace.

Knowing Gwendolyn’s waist was sore and her legs weak, he thoughtfully helped her wash up and change into a decent dress.

She took in his serious demeanor and sighed in contentment. “Hubby, if you continue to spoil me in this manner, I’m afraid I’ll be so pampered that I won’t even know how to eat by myself without you by my side.”

Cedrick’s eyes were gentle and full of indulgence. “Wouldn’t it be nice if that’s the case? You don’t have to worry about anything. Just let me handle all the difficulties while you focus on enjoying life.”

She shook her head firmly. “In my opinion, marriage doesn’t mean losing one’s self-worth. A happy, family requires contributions from all members, so I can’t be a good-for-nothing.”

In fact, she had bigger ambitions beyond caring for her family. She wanted to go from being the richest person in Chanaea to the wealthiest in the world.

Naturally, Cedrick knew her well. He was merely teasing her. “In that case, in the future, you’ll take care of the children while I am responsible for doting on you.”

Gwendolyn frowned. “Are you saying that you’ll neglect your children? If you do that, they may not acknowledge you as their father when they grow up.”
