Chapter 814 Cedrick Could Not Stop Mumbling About His Wife
Those who recognized their identities were shocked to their core.
They never expected that such high-profile figures would send their children to such an ordinary kindergarten.
The intensity of the onlookers’ gaze compelled Cedrick to glare in their direction. His mere gaze had a chilling effect, causing them to lower their heads in trepidation.
The onlookers could not help but shudder. Someone who had authority over an entire conglomerate was surely not an ordinary person. A mere exchange of gazes left them feeling an overwhelming pressure.
Seeing Cedrick suddenly look elsewhere, Gwendolyn subtly nudged him.
Noticing his wife’s actions, Cedrick quickly averted his gaze, maintaining a serious demeanor.
“Zendaya, you did a great job today! Here’s your very own honor badge. It even has your caricature on it.” Hazel pinned a small golden medal onto Zendaya’s clothes, causing the little girl to chuckle immediately. Her eyes curved into crescents, making her incredibly endearing.
Subsequently, Hazel took another gold medal from the teacher and handed it to Benedict, saying gently, “Even though you’re not part of our kindergarten, you’ve shown such outstanding behavior that we’re awarding you this medal. We hope you’ll grow up to be healthy and happy.”
Hazel’s action took Gwendolyn by surprise, as she had not expected them to be so thoughtful.
Despite Benedict’s typically mature demeanor, he was only a five-year-old. Deep down, he was still just a child, but he concealed that aspect of his personality quite adeptly.
Benedict gazed at the medal adorning his chest, his handsome countenance displaying a subtle stiffness, while his eyes sparkled with astonishment.
After a moment, he politely said, “Thank you.”
This medal was meticulously engraved with a caricature of Benedict. It was prepared in advance by a teacher who noticed Benedict during an event.
Upon noticing that her older brother also wore the same medal, Zendaya could not contain her excitement. She exclaimed, “My brother and I both have medals! We are the bravest!”
Observing the children’s joyful expressions, Gwendolyn beamed a wide grin in the direction of Hazel and the teachers.
Hazel responded with a slight nod, then moved on to distribute prizes to other families and children.
Following the conclusion of the closing ceremony, the family day had drawn to an end. On the journey back to the Harrick Villa, Zendaya continued to chatter animatedly, playfully kicking the air with her stubby legs. Even Benedict’s face bore a radiant expression.
Gwendolyn and Cedrick trailed behind the two children, bathed in the gentle, warm hues of the setting sun. Their clongated shadows stretched across the ground, yet the distinctively short and chubby legs of the little ones remained visible.
“Hubby.” Suddenly, Gwendolyn called out.

Cedrick turned his head to look at her, raising an eyebrow in question. “What’s up?”
Gwendolyn leaned into his embrace, her waist encircled by his arms. She nestled against his chest, at blissful expression on her face. “It truly is amazing to be able to spend a simple day like this.”
With a husband, children, and no external disturbances to their family of four, these were the days that Gwendolyn had longed for.
The warm sunlight bathed Gwendolyn’s hair as if it had painted each strand with a golden hue, making her appear even more enchanting.
With a gentle chuckle, Cedrick’s fingers, with their defined knuckles, tenderly caressed her hair. He left a soft kiss on her locks, whispering in reply, “I’ll work tirelessly to preserve this happiness.”
Gwendolyn locked eyes with him and noticed that his eyes were filled with tenderness.
Just then, the two little children walking ahead suddenly turned around, each taking one person’s hand.
Zendaya swayed as she cooed, “Daddy, Mommy! Benny and I want to eat cotton candy, and we also want ice cream.”
Since Benedict was diagnosed with the S404 RNA virus, he has been on an IV drip almost daily. It had been a long time since he last enjoyed those snacks.
His health was so fragile and delicate that he could not afford a single mistake. As a result, these unhealthy foods were strictly off-limits.
Normally, Benedict would not actively request snacks, but perhaps due to the immense enjoyment he experienced that day, he asked for them for the first time.
Considering Benedict’s health, Cedrick had to reach out to Joshua to inquire about it.
After Joshua confirmed that it was okay to have some snacks once in a while, Cedrick slowly squatted down and gently rubbed Zendaya’s little face. “All right, Daddy and Mommy will accompany you to the shop.”
“Yay!” Zendaya was so thrilled that she almost jumped for joy, grabbing his brother’s hand and running outside.
Gwendolyn cautioned with a worried tone. “Slow down. Don’t trip and fall.”
Cedrick wrapped his arms around her waist, giving it a gentle squeeze. His dark, mischievous eyes were captivating, his voice magnetic. “Darling, is my performance today good enough to earn me a spot in
bed?”
Gwendolyn held her laughter and hummed in acknowledgment.
“Then I…” He paused briefly before continuing, “Can we do some exercises before bed?”
His
that.
request rendered Gwendolyn speechless, and she made a cross gesture with both hands upon hearing
The kids would be back home in the late evening, so any excessive noise would reach their ears.
Observing the unmistakable rejection on his wife’s face, Cedrick pouted and remarked. “Seems like my wife doesn’t want to be intimate with me, huh?”

Once again, Gwendolyn was bereft of words. Despite his age, he was still acting like a petulant child. Has he
no shame?
However, she could not help but fall for Cedrick’s tricks.
“Darling…” Cedrick followed behind Gwendolyn, calling out in a soft and gentle voice.
Gwendolyn’s cheeks were slightly flushed as she quickly walked over to the two children, disregarding the man’s playful behavior.
They also treated the children to some fried chicken. After spending the evening outdoors, the family of four eventually decided to head home.
Perhaps owing to the extensive physical activity they had engaged in throughout the day, the two children were nearly asleep before they even reached the car.
They had no choice but to each carry a child and get in the car.
It had been a while since Gwendolyn had returned to the Harrick Villa, so she had nearly forgotten the feeling of being home.
Carrying the two children upstairs, Cedrick could not wait to return to the master bedroom with Gwendolyn after settling the little ones.
The moment she closed the door after entering the room, he kissed her immediately, savoring the taste of her lips.
