Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 640

Chapter 640 Has A Formidable Rival

After visiting the few renowned tourist attractions in Turlen, Gwendolyn, Cedrick, and the others took a flight to Moranta.

Having traveled for several days in succession, Gwendolyn and Inez were exhausted. They fell asleep as soon as they got onto the plane.

Cedrick and Kieran were men at the end of the day, so they had much more energy. Despite working overtime at night, they were still as energetic as ever after getting some shut-eye.

Cedrick draped a thin blanket over his wife before gathering her in his arms.

Not to be outdone, Kieran, who had learned how to pamper his woman over the past two days, did the same for Inez. On top of that, he thoughtfully requested a glass of orange juice for fear that she would be thirsty upon waking up.

Cedrick noticed that small attentive act. Mirth danced in his ebony eyes.

“Not bad. You’ve improved a lot these two days, Kieran. You even thought of having orange juice at the ready.”

However, Kieran coldly shot him a glare. “Look at Kiddo. She’s resting no sooner had she boarded the plane. You should’ve restrained yourself for the past few nights and taken mercy on her instead of tiring her out to such an extent.”

With a faint smile on his face and in his eyes, Cedrick calmly took a sip of coffee. “Right back at you, Kieran.”

At once, Kieran’s expression darkened. Animosity and hostility between the two men brewed in silence.

The fact that Inez had been paying much attention to Cedrick and had a high opinion of him throughout their recent vacation the past few days upset Kieran.

Thus, he desperately wanted to surpass his brother-in-law in all aspects to obtain her approval,

Although Cedrick was oblivious to the man’s thoughts, he could distinctly sense his hostility in the past two days. Hence, he squared up with the man without backing down.

As they stared daggers at each other, Cedrick’s nose abruptly itched. Without warning, he sneezed several times in a row.

For once, a flash of something different flittered across Kieran’s frosty eyes. “It looks like you’ve overtaxed yourself these two days, leading to a drop in your stamina and immunity, resulting in you having caught a cold, Cedrick.”

Gracefully rubbing the tip of his nose, Cedrick retorted forcefully, “Contrarily, I think someone must be criticizing me or speaking ill of me instead of an issue with my physical condition. Compared to you, Kieran, I’ve been in the military for many years, so my stamina is much better.”

Kieran narrowed his eyes into slits and fixed them onto the man, not bothering to respond anymore.

“Why are you two at odds now?” Gwendolyn asked while rubbing her eyes after having been awakened by Cedrick’s sneezing.

Both men remained silent at the same time, surprisingly in sync.

At that, Gwendolyn giggled evilly. “A battle between men is pointless if it’s mere talk. Let’s find a boxing ring to have a fight when we get off the plane and see who emerges victorious.”

In a low voice. Kieran chided. “As a lady, it’s best for you to be more gentle. Don’t speak about such violent things all the time. The aim of learning jiu-jitsu is for you to have the ability to protect yourself, not for you to go around fighting.”

Following her brother’s lecture, Gwendolyn pursed her lips and nestled back in her husband’s embrace, instantly transforming into a docile kitten.

Cedrick planted a kiss on her forehead and patted her on the back with his gigantic palm. He sounded as airy as ever. “I think your suggestion is pretty great, Darling. Anyway, I never lose in fights.”

Kieran’s chilly eyes narrowed a fraction in displeasure.

As the leader of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Cedrick was the king in the military field then. Back at the training camp, he was one of the cream of the crop born of the grueling training.

While Kieran appeared like a gentlemanly professor obsessed with research, his fighting skills were actually impeccable as well.

Nonetheless, if he were to fight with Cedrick for real, he might not necessarily be the latter’s match.

He still remembered the man going berserk after losing control due to the S404 RNA virus back then because Gwendolyn was absent from his side. He had to team up with Treyton before they managed to subdue Cedrick, who was behaving like a rabid dog.
