Chapter 646 If I Lie
Gwendolyn turned around upon hearing the voice and saw it was Sheralyn.
It was such a coincidence for them to stumble into each other at a hotel.
Sheralyn grasped Gwendolyn’s wrist with both hands and gazed at her with eyes filled with admiration and joy. Her past arrogance before she learned of Gwendolyn’s identity had vanished without a trace.
“Gwendolyn, it’s been over a year since we last met. I saw online that you had twins with Mr. Jenson. Congratulations. I’m so envious that you can still maintain such a stunning figure even after having kids.”
Gwendolyn responded with a courteous smile, patted Sheralyn’s shoulder, and explained, “My brother, Kieran, and Inez from the Mossey family are getting married soon, so I came here to prepare the arrangements for the wedding ceremony.” She paused and turned to glance at Cedrick. “I thought I would also take this opportunity to visit you and Mrs. Wright.”
Sheralyn was taken aback. Hearing how Gwendolyn addressed Frida, she felt a hint of melancholy and suddenly remembered her brother and Gwendolyn’s ex-husband, Maverick, who had passed away.
“Congratulations on your new life, Gwendolyn. I heard that you and Mr. Jenson have a very good relationship.”
Gwendolyn shot another quick look at Cedrick and chirped, “Indeed.”
Keeping up his cold and aloof demeanor, Cedrick stood behind in silence, not initiating conversation with members of the Mossey family despite being in their presence.
Madelyn and her family didn’t know that Cedrick used to be Maverick previously. She found the situation unsettling now that Gwendolyn’s current husband had met with her ex-husband’s younger sister.
Fearing Gwendolyn would feel awkward and Cedrick might be jealous, Madelyn took the initiative to smooth things over. “It’s getting late now. Are you here for a business meeting, Ms. Wright?”
Sheralyn nodded. “Yes. Wright Construction Group is looking to seal the deal on a new collaboration.” “In that case, we won’t occupy more of your time, Ms. Wright. I still have some details about the wedding ceremony to discuss with Ms. Harris, so we’ll be taking our leave first.”
Sheralyn let go of Gwendolyn’s wrist. “Okay. I’ll let you get back to your conversation.”
Perhaps Gwendolyn’s strict discipline before that had left a deep impression on Sheralyn. She behaved well in front of Gwendolyn, not daring to act even a little haughtily.
Before leaving, she stole a glance at the man behind Gwendolyn. He’s so handsome and gives off such an oppressive and overwhelming aura. Is this Chanaea’s famous Mr. Jenson?
Sheralyn couldn’t help but take a few more looks at Cedrick. For some reason, she was unable to shake off the feeling that he resembled her brother, who had been dead for over a year.
However, she quickly dismissed that thought. The Wright family is incomparable to the renowned Jenson family from Salinsburgh, Chanaea. It must be my imagination.
Sheralyn lowered her head, not daring to look at Cedrick anymore as she walked past Gwendolyn and the others to leave.
Gwendolyn suppressed her amusement after taking in Sheralyn’s reaction when she saw Cedrick.
After exiting the hotel and bidding farewell to Jerome, his family, and Kieran, Gwendolyn and Cedrick got into the car to return to the hotel to get some rest. Gwendolyn said, “Did you see the surprised and incredulous look on your sister’s face earlier? What do you think she was thinking? Will she think I can’t get over her brother, so I deliberately found a man who looks like him?”
Cedrick drawled expressionlessly, “I did. I thought she would recognize me right away, so I was wondering how to brush it off in front of the Mosseys. However, she left without saying anything. I overthought it, I guess. I assumed she would recognize me just by looking at my physique like you did even when I wore a mask.” He couldn’t help but shake his head. He then domineeringly wrapped his arms around Gwendolyn’s slender waist. “It looks like they’re living quite comfortably. I lived in the Wright residence for over ten years, yet she failed to recognize me after I was gone for just over a year. Only my darling treats me the best and cares about me the most.”
Gwendolyn contained her urge to laugh. “If Frida were to know the fake son she had cherished for over ten years is actually the eldest grandson of the Jenson family and the person in charge of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, I suppose her reaction would be bigger than Sheralyn, right?”
Cedrick pondered briefly and leaned in to kiss her tender cheek. “Perhaps. Maybe we’ll know how they’ll
react tomorrow.
