Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 808

As his wife held him, Cedrick felt an indescribable sense of satisfaction. Suppressing the urge to cough, he spoke softly. “You’re right to scold me, Darling. I should’ve been more considerate tonight. If it will appease your anger, I don’t mind accepting some domestic punishment.”

“I can’t believe you’re still in the mood for jokes right now.” Irritated, Gwendolyn playfully punched him.

At that moment, Cedrick frowned, unable to resist drawing in a sharp breath.

Noticing his unusual reaction, Gwendolyn quickly expressed concern. “What’s wrong? Did I hurt you? Or are you feeling uncomfortable somewhere? Nico! Hurry, get the doctor to come over and check on

Cedrick!”

Cedrick took her hand, smiling faintly, and leaned his face closer. “I’m fine. All I need is a kiss from my wife.”

Gwendolyn stared at him. Still uneasy, she called for a doctor to examine him.

Upon examination, the doctor found that Cedrick had only suffered minor superficial injuries.

Knowing he was all right, Gwendolyn was completely relieved and left with him in the same car.

She had been on edge all night, and only then did her heart calm down. Leaning on Cedrick’s shoulder. she fell asleep.

Nico turned around and called out Cedrick’s name, but Cedrick immediately made a quiet gesture. My wife has been tired all night. She needs to rest well.

Seeing the concern in Cedrick’s eyes, Nico merely shrugged.

Sensing the warmth between the couple, Nico tactfully raised the partition between the front and back seats. He turned on the air conditioning, adjusting the temperature inside the car to a comfortable level.

They had the situation under control there, but over at the lab, all hell broke loose.

Zendaya woke up in the middle. Upon not seeing Gwendolyn, she burst into tears, giving Charles quite a scare.

“Are you having a nightmare? I’m here. There’s no need to be afraid,” reassured Charles.

Zendaya looked around but couldn’t find Gwendolyn. Her crying intensified. “Where’s Mommy? I want Mommy. Does Daddy and Mommy not want me and Benny anymore?”

The little girl had been feeling insecure ever since Gwendolyn disappeared a few days ago.

As such, she would become unbearably anxious if she couldn’t see her mother.

Benedict was awakened by the sound of crying. He sat up and looked at Charles with a cold expression. questioning, “Charles, tell me, has something happened again?”

Earlier, Gwendolyn quietly stepped outside to make a phone call. He noticed it and was certain that something must have gone wrong.

Charles shook his head. “Don’t overthink it. They’ll be back soon. It’s only halfway through the night. Why don’t you sleep a bit more? By the time you wake up, they’ll definitely be here.”

It failed to reassure Benedict. “Stop treating me like a child. If you don’t tell me the truth, I’ll go out and find it myself.”

Zendaya also chimed in. “Yes. If you don’t tell us, my brother and I will go out and look for our parents ourselves.”

Faced with the relentless questioning of the children. Charles could only sigh in resignation.

“Tell us the truth, Uncle Charles. Did something happen to Mommy and Daddy?” asked Zendaya.

Unable to withstand the persistent questioning from the two, Charles finally gave in and called Nico.

When the call connected, Nico lowered his voice and answered, “What’s the matter? We’re on our way back.”

“Benny and Zendy are awake again, calling for their parents. I really can’t soothe them. You should talk to them.” Charles switched his phone to speaker mode.

Nico said, “Listen to Charles’ words and go to sleep. When you wake up, you’ll be able to see your mommy and daddy.”
