Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 636

Chapter 636 Value Girls Over Boys

Nico was stunned. “Why would you think that? I may respect Cedrick and Gwendolyn, but marriage is a big thing. Of course I thought it through carefully before agreeing.”

Seeing how serious he was, Summer accepted his answer and continued with the next question. “Do you think there’s something different about me today, Nico?”

She wiped her tears away, blinked, and intentionally leaned her delicately made-up face toward him.

In response, Nico studied her for a while but failed to discern any differences. “Did you… become more of a crybaby than usual?”

Annoyed, Summer punched his shoulder relentlessly. “I knew I shouldn’t have asked you that question. You’re so dense! Can you not see the effort I put into my makeup?”

Nico was a well-trained man. Hence, his body was tough. Summer’s punches were nothing but tickles from his perspective. It didn’t hurt him at all.

Resignedly, he clutched Summer’s restless fist and rubbed her knuckles out of habit. “All right, stop messing around. Otherwise, your hand’s going to hurt

At least he still knows to care about my hands. Self-comfort was the only thing Summer could do when dealing with a man as dense as Nico.

Nico often wielded weapons, so he had calloused hands.

Meanwhile, Summer’s skin was soft and tender. He wasn’t light-handed, so he used the back of his hand to wipe her tears away. Unfortunately, he wasn’t skilled enough and accidentally ruined her eyeliner.

He stifled his laughter as he stared at his handiwork of turning Summer’s eyes into a panda’s. “Your tears ruined your makeup, Princess. Should I ask an officer to send you back to wash your face?”

“Ruined?” Summer swiftly removed the small mirror in her pocket and examined her countenance with it I spent hours putting on this makeup, yet it’s all messed up before Nico can even admire it properly!

She was so devastated that she wanted to cry more. “My makeup’s wrecked, and you forgot you’re supposed to spend time with me! We’re about to be engaged, yet you can’t fulfill your promises! It doesn’t seem like you care about me at all. It’s not like I can’t get married if I leave you, Nico!”

Upon ending her sentence, she turned around and left in tears.

The officer stationed at the entrance approached Nico. “Your partner seems heartbroken, Mr. Nico. Aren’t you going to chase after her?”

Nico thought about the work he had to wrap up soon and ordered, “You chase after her and help me send her back to the Jenson residence. If she wants to join her classmates for fun, follow her.”

“Roger,” said the officer before chasing after Summer.

Nico gazed at Summer’s back as she trotted away with teary eyes and shook his head resignedly. Even though she’s already twenty, she’s still acting like a kid. Am I sheltering her too much? Back when I was twenty years old, I had already joined Cedrick on the battlefield at the border twice. I had to survive in that hostile environment, with bullets flying everywhere.

A sigh slipped from his lips as he recalled the issue of visiting Summer’s family before the engagement.

Once Cedrick returns from his vacation with Gwendolyn, he’ll likely mention the engagement to Summer’s family as the head of the Jenson family. I should contact her family as soon as possible. Despite having been together with Summer for so long. I didn’t investigate her family background because the doesn’t like it. I don’t think I can avoid doing that anymore, though.

On the way back to his office, Nico asked someone to investigate Summer’s family as soon as possible.

Since I failed to fulfill my promise to take Summer out for a fun trip due to work, I guess I’ll buy her a xylitol cake at night. Considering how much she likes sweet things, I think she’ll cool down after seeing the cake. With that thought in mind, he returned to his office.

Meanwhile, Charles had almost finished settling minor affairs in Newton Group at noon. After that, he visited Harrick Villa to meet with Benedict and Zendaya.
