Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 658

Chapter 658 Hating On The Rich

Cedrick pulled the quilt over her body and helped her lie down properly. He said in a gentle tone, “Sleep tight. I will stay up tonight. If Benny wakes up, I will prepare his milk for him. Don't forget that I did all these things when you had just given birth to him. I'm more familiar with this than you are.”

Since he had said so, Gwendolyn nodded. “All right. This can help to exhaust your energy as well.”

Cedrick bent down and kissed her soft lips. He couldn't seem to get enough of her.

Gwendolyn closed her eyes and slept peacefully.

Cedrick stayed by her side for a while. Once he was sure she had really fallen asleep, he went to Benedict's crib.

Time flew by for those who were sound asleep.

But for Cedrick, who was wide awake now, the night felt very long.

Sometimes, he even wondered if their lives would be more relaxed if he and Gwendolyn weren't from wealthy families, he didn't have a military background, Gwendolyn didn't have to bear the responsibility of being Ms. Harris, and they were just a normal married couple with a pair of adorable fraternal twins.

However, these were all just his fantasies.

Both he and Gwendolyn had too many responsibilities that couldn't be avoided.

Cedrick slowly fell asleep when he was in his own thoughts.

At five o'clock early in the morning, he was woken up by Benedict's cries.

Alerted by years of military training, Cedrick woke up as soon as he heard Benedict's faint cry. He quickly carried Benedict and gently soothed him.

Then, he turned around carefully and glanced at Gwendolyn, who was on the bed.

Thankfully, Darling is still sound asleep.

He carried Benedict and left the baby's ward to the nursery next door to prepare milk for Benedict.

The next day, Cedrick had only slept for two hours when Nico arrived.

As Gwendolyn was still asleep, Cedrick gestured for Nico to stay quiet and walk softly.

Nico was about to talk when he saw Cedrick stern's expression. He nodded and waited at the door.

When Cedrick came out, Nico raised his voice and said, “Cedrick, regarding the baby formula in other wealthy households, I've secretly collected a can from each family. I didn't specify the exact reason to avoid unnecessary panic and simply made up an excuse to brush it off. The cans of formula have been sent to the testing department of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, and we should receive the results soon.”

“Okay.” Cedrick patted his shoulder. “You must be tired. Go home and have a good rest. Ask Swain to come over.”

Nico smiled like a naïve boy.

“It's nothing. I don't mind helping my adorable little nephew. We must find the culprit soon, or I won't be able to relax.”

Cedrick pinched Nico's handsome face. “When you go back, have Summer apply a face mask for you. Look at how dark your skin has become. It's been quite a while since you returned from the border, and yet your complexion hasn't improved. You're about to get engaged. It's time to focus not only on official matters but also on Summer.”

Nico was grinning happily, but when he heard Cedrick say that he was a tad bit tanned now, he looked a little displeased.

“Okay. Our relationship is still going strong, so don't worry.”

Cedrick nodded. “Bye.”

Nico turned to leave the hospital. Before he left, he called Swain.

Cedrick went to the bathroom and simply freshened up to remove the fatigue from his body.

When Swain reached in a hurry, Cedrick had just finished freshening up. “Let's head to the Federal Bureau of Investigation.”

“Sure!” Swain followed him into the elevator.

In the elevator, he stood up straight while Cedrick was thinking about something with a serious face.

After a moment of thinking, Cedrick said, “There are a lot of people in the hospital. Get a few more people to guard Benedict's ward just in case.”

Swain nodded. “Okay, Boss.”
