Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 760

Chapter 760 Fake Affectionate Look

Charles hung his head low in dejection.

There was nothing he could say in the face of Benedict's statements.

No words could express his raging guilt. His thin lips trembled, and in the end, he could only say, “I'm sorry.”

Benedict scoffed, “If saying sorry is enough, why do we need the police?”

Standing beside the bed, Charles was on the verge of tears.

Upon noticing the man's expression, Benedict pouted and said arrogantly, “I'm not that petty, actually. I know it's been a long time, and you never wanted to hurt me. I'm telling you all this because I want you to be willing to spend money on me and keep me happy.”

Charles nodded resolutely and stared at the oceanarium renovation plan calmly. “You're right. As long as I can make you happy, I will complete your plan for the oceanarium even if I go bankrupt. It's what I should do.”

Benedict waved his hand. “Go about your business now, and quit bothering me.”

“All right. Take care, Benny.” Charles recollected himself and left with the plan in his hand.

Just as he walked out of the ward, he met Cedrick, who had returned from buying durian.

Cedrick noticed Charles' reddened eyes from afar and teased, “Why do you look like you're on the verge of tearing up? Did my son make you cry? I can't believe you can't even handle the words of a five-year-old. When did you become so emotionally weak?”

Instead of explaining anything, Charles folded the paper in his hand and carefully placed it into his pocket. “If there's nothing else, I'll resume cleaning the restroom now.”

Cedrick nodded.

After walking around Cedrick, Charles heard him say, “Now that you're in a relationship, you should get your act together and don't let the woman down.”

Charles turned around abruptly. “What do you mean by that, Mr. Jenson?” Did Whitney tell Gwendolyn something?

“Whatever the words imply. The last time I went to the oceanarium, I noticed you barely spoke to that woman beside you and treated her coldly. She, on the other hand, had her eye on you. As a fellow man, there's no way I don't understand.”

A sigh escaped Charles' lips. It seems Whitney isn't stupid enough to spill the beans behind my back. “Worry not, Mr. Jenson. I chose to be with her. I will be responsible for her.”

There wasn't any expression on Cedrick's face. He didn't ask too many questions because another man's relationship was none of his business. The only reason he asked was because he spotted Gwendolyn having a wonderful time chatting with Whitney.

At the Newton residence, Whitney spent the day in her room, bored out of her mind.

Jasmine kept her company for the whole day, chatting and playing with her.

At night, when Charles arrived back home, he saw Lucas, Jasmine, and Whitney waiting for him at the dining table.

Upon recalling the kiss from last night, Whitney stared unblinkingly at Charles.

However, he ignored her presence while settling down at the head of the table. He picked up his cutlery and said, “Let's eat.”

No one spoke a word in the dining room.

After dinner, Whitney and Charles walked up the stairs together.

They remained quiet until they arrived at the bedroom because they kept running into the housekeepers.

When they walked to the bedroom door, he said, “I still have company matters to attend to, so don't wait for me.”

“Huh?” Just as Whitney turned to him, wishing to ask him a question, he had already arrived at the stairs.
