Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 820

Chapter 820 The Mobius Ring 

Whitney fell silent, knowing that her meager income was something he would look down upon. Especially considering she hadn’t even finished her probation period yet, the assets she held were pitifully small. 

“Sleep on the bed tonight.” 

Charles knew she would sleep on the sofa whenever he didn’t return to their bedroom. 

Whitney stared at him, puzzled as to why he seemed so different that night compared to usual. 

After taking a bath, Whitney was hesitant to come out of the bathroom. She felt very nervous. 

Will Charles also be sleeping in bed tonight? 

After a long while in the bathroom, Whitney finally emerged, only to find that Charles was nowhere to be 

seen. 

He must have gone to rest in the study again. 

In the aftermath of her relief, a faint sense of loss lingered in her heart. 

In truth, she shouldn’t have harbored such expectations. However, human nature was inherently greedy. and one often yearned for more even after receiving a little. 

After standing by the bed, lost in thought for a while, Whitney finally climbed into bed and lay on the edge. 

After what felt like an eternity, she finally drifted off to sleep. 

At daybreak, the bedroom door opened, allowing the faint light from the hallway to seep in. The silhouette on the bed was barely visible. The man, who had just finished work in the study, stood by the door for a bit, a smile playing at the corners of his mouth. 

She finally listened this time around. 

In a state between sleep and wakefulness, Whitney felt a dip in the bed next to her. Groggily, she reached out and embraced whatever was next to her. It felt warm. 

She was under the illusion that she was actually hoping for Charles to share a bed with her in her dreams. 

Even if it was just an illusion or merely a dream, she wanted to indulge in it for now. 

Like a curled-up kitten, she snuggled up to him. Charles’ back stiffened. 

A sudden surge of warmth rushed to his lower abdomen. 

It made him gasp for breath. 

This uncontrollable feeling was making Charles irritated. He threw off the blanket, went to the bathroom, took a cold shower, and left. 

Early the next day, Whitney was awakened by her alarm clock. She stretched lazily. 

That night, she slept incredibly soundly, even dreaming of an intimate encounter with Charles.

1/4 

With these thoughts, she couldn’t help but blush a little. Quickly gathering her things, she headed out to 

work. 

She carefully kept all the roses Charles gave her. She planned to preserve these roses as dried flowers to keep them forever. 

After her birthday, their relationship gradually took on a subtle change. The man, who was usually cold toward her, surprisingly began to take an active interest in her work. 

Once her internship period was over, she could become a full-fledged employee of Newton Group and work alongside him. 

Even though their statuses were worlds apart, for Whitney, it was enough. 

Whitney didn’t receive any messages from Charles on her phone that day. After work, she went back to the Newton residence on her own. She planned to cook dinner for him that night to express her gratitude. 

No sooner had she returned home than Isaac arrived with a beautifully wrapped box. 

“Mrs. Newton, Mr. Newton has some matters to attend to tonight and will be back late. He has asked you to rest early and not wait up for him. This is something he asked me to give to you.” 

Taking the box from Isaac’s hand, Whitney wanted to ask something else, but Isaac had already left. 

The box in her hand was exquisite. It was adorned with a sky-blue gem. Whitney carried the box upstairs and opened it. 

It was a pair of rings! 

Both rings were designed in the style of a Möbius strip. The women’s ring was adorned with a circle of tiny diamonds around the edge, while the men’s ring was devoid of any additional embellishments but maintained a simple and dignified aesthetic. 

The Mobius strip symbolizes endless love!, 

Whitney was stunned.. 

Does he understand the meaning of the ring’s shape? 

Whitney’s heart raced. She was tempted to call him and ask what he meant. 

After a moment of calm, she regained her composure. Perhaps this matter was delegated to his subordinates and doesn’t necessarily represent his thoughts. 

Even so, she was delighted because he took her words to heart. 

After taking two deep breaths, she slipped on her ring, which, to her surprise, fit perfectly. 

Huh? 

It seemed she had never told Charles her ring size, and yet he knew. 

She took a picture of herself wearing the ring and sent the one she was most pleased with to Charles. 

Whitney: Thank you, Hubby.

2/4 

Charles, who was in the middle of a meeting, noticed a flash on the screen of his phone on the table. He picked it up immediately and saw the photo she had sent. 

In the photo, she was seen with her hand raised to her cheek, her smile blooming like a flower. 

The text she sent instantly lifted his previously gloomy mood, and a smile involuntarily spread across his face. 

The people in the meeting room widened their eyes in disbelief when they saw the smile on his face, 

Did Mr. Newton just smile during a meeting? 

The rule set by Charles was that no one was allowed to use their mobile phones during meetings. Of course, he was an exception. 

What they couldn’t believe was that Mr. Newton had received a message that made him smile so mysteriously. 

During the meeting, he scolded everyone, filling the entire conference room with a heavy atmosphere. 

Sensing the gazes of these people on him, Charles abruptly withdrew his smile and put down his phone. 

Everyone held their breath once again, waiting for his forthcoming reprimand. 

“This concludes today’s evening meeting. If anyone dares to make such a basic mistake again, pack your things and get out of Newton Group. We do not tolerate idlers.” 

Upon hearing those words, everyone breathed a sigh of relief. The challenging time had finally passed.
