Wooing My ex-wife (Gwendolyn and Maverick) novel Chapter 856

“You’ve worked hard today, so why don’t you stay for dinner tonight?”

Charles instinctively reached out and gently held Winona’s wrist. He stared at her meaningfully, causing Winona to feel a bit flustered, and her cheeks flushed red.

She managed to free her wrist from his grasp. With a coy glance, she lifted her skirt, turned, and playfully ran off into the distance.

Observing her retreating figure, a faint smile played at the corners of Charles’ lips as he followed her.

Under the guise of a life-saving favor, all of Winona’s advances became reasonable.

When dinner time arrived, Winona prepared a large table filled with exquisite dishes.

Since they were in a fishing village, the table featured an array of dishes made from fish. prepared in various ways.

As Charles surveyed the feast, he recalled Winona mentioning that she and her grandmother were all each other had. However, during his few days here, he had not yet seen the elderly woman, sparking his curiosity.

“Winona, doesn’t your grandmother live here?”

Winona, who was in the middle of serving food, paused for a moment. She replied, “My grandmother often treats sick fishermen in the village. If she hasn’t finished helping a family yet, she won’t return home. Is there a reason you want to meet her?”

With a sweet smile, Winona deliberately let her hair graze against Charles’ cheek as she served him food.

“I was just curious. It’s been a while since I last saw her.”

Winona changed the subject, asking, “Now that you’ve tasted my cooking, what kind of impression do you have of me?”

Charles smiled. “You’re as pure and innocent as Cinderella in the fairy tales.”

Winona blushed slightly at the compliment.

“You have a way with words. But you’ve been here for quite some time. Aren’t your family worried about you? What do you do for a living?”

In response to Winona’s probes, Charles replied, “You know, you took my phone for repairs

If I leave now, how will you find me later?”

Winona was slightly taken aback, not expecting Charles to notice that she had secretly taken his phone.

However, she quickly regained her composure and explained, “I only took your phone for repair because I saw it was broken. It might take some time to fix. You’re not mad at me, are you?”

Charles picked up a piece of fish and offered it to her. “Why would I be mad at you?”

Winona lowered her head in guilt and mumbled, “I’m sorry for meddling with your phone without permission.”

Charles shook his head, his gaze warm. “There’s no need to apologize. You were just trying to help.”

The two continued their conversation during dinner, getting to know each other better.

As time passed, Charles and Winona spent more time together in the fishing village.

One day, they found themselves dressed in the same traditional fishing village attire, standing by the seaside.

If it weren’t for the fact that this was the uniform attire of the fishing village, people might have mistaken them for a couple.

They playfully teased and frolicked, just like a young couple in love.

Charles splashed water at Winona, and she chased after him.

They played until they were completely exhausted, lying on the beach, panting heavily, and feeling utterly exhilarated.

Charles looked at the panting girl beside him, a flicker of unusual emotion flashing in his eyes.

The hair at the temples of the girl next to him was dampened by the seawater, sticking to her face, stirring an indescribable urge within him.

He suddenly asked, “Winona, have you ever considered being in a relationship?”
