Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 647

Chapter 647 I Have Returned

An hour later, Cedrick and Gwendolyn arrived at the Wright residence.

The butler and housekeepers had just woken up and started their work. However, the tranquility was shattered by the piercing cries of a baby echoing through the halls.

Sheralyn and Ajax had their hands full.

The cries had also disturbed Frida, who stormed over to investigate, her scathing remarks ready on her tongue.

“Ajax, what kind of father are you? You may excel in managing a company, but what good is that if you can’t even handle your own child?”

“Yes, you’re right, Mom. I’ll be more attentive next time.”

“What’s the use of being more attentive next time? I’ve heard that line eight hundred times, and you haven’t changed a bit,” Frida snapped, her words dripping with frustration.

Ajax, who was focused on soothing the crying infant, merely offered a placating response. “Yes, Mom. You’re right.”

Huh?” Frida, still groggy from waking up early, was instantly provoked. “Did you even hear what I said? All you know how to do is brush me off!”

“Mom, you’re right.”

Sheralyn couldn’t help but chuckle at the scene. When she realized her mother was about to unleash her anger, she swiftly intervened, “Mom, instead of standing there arguing, why don’t you come and help us soothe the baby? He’s been crying all morning. We can’t figure out what’s wrong.”

Annoyed with her seemingly incompetent daughter and son-in-law, Frida begrudgingly walked over and muttered, “You two are such terrible parents! If your brother was still around, he and Gwendolyn would certainly handle all this effortlessly. I wouldn’t even have to worry!”

When Gwendolyn and Cedrick arrived at the entrance of the Wright residence, carrying bags filled with gifts, they were greeted by a cacophony of noise.

The butler hurriedly emerged from the villa, his eyes widening in astonishment when he spotted the man standing beside Gwendolyn.

“M-Mr. Wright?”

His face was filled with disbelief, and he rubbed his eyes to confirm who he was looking at.

They look so alike! Even their aloof demeanor is similar. Yet, upon closer inspection, they seem to be slightly different.

The butler vividly remembered that Maverick had passed away a year and a half ago.

It was impossible for Maverick to be standing in front of him.

Mixed emotions filled his heart as he mustered a smile and greeted Gwendolyn, “Ms. Harris, have you returned from Salinsburgh to visit Mrs, and Ms. Wright?”

Gwendolyn nodded and smiled. “I guess you can say that.”

“It’s truly an honor that someone as important as you still remember us. The Wright family is deeply grateful. The late Old Mr. Wright would surely be pleased. He was right about you, Ms. Harris.”

The butler quickly summoned the servants to assist with carrying Gwendolyn and Cedrick’s gifts.

“May I go to the ancestral hall later and pay respect to Old Mr. Wright? I want to share this news with him.”

“Of course,” the butter replied. He then turned to the man next to Gwendolyn. “May I know who this is, Ms. Harris?”

Gwendolyn cast a sidelong glance at Cedrick, a mischievous sparkle in her eyes. “He’s my husband.”

“Oh, I see. You must be Mr. Jenson from Salinsburgh. Your name precedes you, and I must say the resemblance is striking! Sorry, I mean handsome!” The butler was drawn to Cedrick’s captivating face and almost blurted out the wrong words.

Gwendolyn stifled a laugh, while Cedrick remained silent and aloof by her side.

“Ms. Harris, Mr. Jenson, please wait in the living room for a while. I’ll inform Mrs. and Ms. Wright of your arrival.”

“Thank you.”

Gwendolyn hooked her arm around Cedrick’s, and together they entered the Wright residence.

It had been over a year since they last visited, and they couldn’t help noticing the changes.
