Chapter 213
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 213 Most Popular Man In Salinsburgh While Madelyn was slightly startled by the news, she knew Gwendolyn was determined, so she didnât try to persuade the latter.
âItâs not a bad idea to go somewhere else.
Maybe itâll help lift your mood.
How long are you planning to stay there? Will you return?â Gwendolyn contemplated momentarily and replied, âNot sure, but Iâll probably come back.
â Once Iâve ferreted out all those in the Harris family who want to harm me, Iâll likely return and live in Fairlake.
After all, Iâll be able to stay a little closer to Maverick that way.
They chatted a little longer until it was time for the wedding ceremony to begin.
Sheralyn slowly stepped onto the red carpet in the church with a high-end white wedding gown and the most beautiful makeup.
Ajax, standing next to the priest, gazed at her.
They met each otherâs eyes with a look of great affection.
In the presence of a priest, the couple completed the most important ceremony of their lives.
Frida was so touched that she sobbed.
Even Gwendolyn couldnât help but tear up a little.
Back then, when I married Maverick, there was no wedding.
No one witnessed our union.
After we registered our marriage, Old Mr. Wright forced him to take a wedding photo with me.
I wonder if Iâll ever have the chance to wear a wedding gown again.
The day after the wedding, Gwendolyn picked a few beautiful white roses and visited Maverickâs grave to say goodbye.
As always, she cleaned his grave first, removing the fallen leaves and dust.
Her finger traced over the picture on the tombstone as she etched his face into her mind.
âIâm leaving now, Mavy.
Thereâs no telling when Iâll visit you next.
Iâm almost done with the matters in Fairlake.
Since the people who harmed me have learned Iâm here, Iâm afraid theyâll continue to trouble me as long as I breathe.
If thatâs the case, Iâd rather return to Salinsburgh and deal with them once and for all.
â A violent look flashed past her eyes.
Then, she softly laid her head on Maverickâs tombstone.
âI really miss you.
I feel like tearing up every time I visit you.
However, because you said you hope Iâll live a happy and carefree life as the princess of the Harris family, Iâve held them back every time.
Iâve been dreaming less and less about you recently.
I donât know why, but donât worry.
Youâll always be the only one in my heart.
â Then she fell asleep again.
After an unknown amount of time passed, she woke up when Treyton arrived to pick her up.
âItâs time to go.
â Gwendolyn nodded and stood with his help.
As he held her shoulders affectionately, they left the cemetery.
The same day, an explosive headline was spread throughout the internet.
Not only was the Harris familyâs youngest daughter confirmed to be alive, but she also publicly announced her return to the family.
Additionally, she claimed she was kidnapped back then.
Gwendolyn appeared on Angleâs livestream with a proper gown and makeup.
Upon greeting the viewers with a smile, she summarized the incident from six years ago, when the Harris family abruptly announced her death.
Meanwhile, screams could be heard inside the Wright residence, the Wright mansion, and the Mossey residence.
Sheralyn zoomed upstairs and knocked on her motherâs door.
âMom! Gwendolyn is actually from the Harris family! Thank goodness I listened to her! Otherwise, the Harris family wouldâve killed me! I feel so lucky to have someone of her caliber be my sister-in-law!â
Downstairs, Ajax coughed and reminded, âEx-sister-in-law, Dear.
â Sheralyn grimaced with regret.
If I had known she was the daughter of the Harris family, I wouldnât have bullied her, no matter what! In fact, I wouldâve buttered her up! Frida heard everything in the room, but she didnât react to it.
Instead, she was sitting on the balcony and staring at the scenery, distraught.
The tears on her countenance were still wet as she brushed her fingers over a picture frame.
The picture depicted her hugging a baby Maverick.
During the funeral, she read Maverickâs letter.
It told her he wasnât related to the Wright family by blood and also Gwendolynâs true identity.
Furthermore, he advised her to maintain a good relationship with Gwendolyn to protect the Wright family.
Before, all she knew was that her son was sent to Salinsburgh by Declan when he was a child.
Then, when Maverick was ten years old, he was sent to the Federal Bureau of Investigation to be trained.
Once he was fifteen years old, he returned to Fairlake.
She never once suspected her son was a fake and had genuinely loved him.
Even though Maverick wasnât Fridaâs son, he still fulfilled his filial responsibilities to her, which she was grateful for.
That was why she was still devastated by his death.
Concurrently, in the Wright mansion, Dexter slapped his thigh with remorse.
No wonder I kept losing to that woman and couldnât investigate her identity! It turns out sheâs the Harris familyâs daughter! At the Mossey residence, Madelyn and Jerome felt relieved upon learning the news.
Thank goodness we struck up a friendly relationship with Gwendolyn and that Inez didnât burn bridges with her over Kieranâs matter.
Otherwise, weâd end up in the same situation as the Wright family in the past and the Lane family in the present.
Two days later, Gwendolyn was on a plane back to Salinsburgh.
She had booked the entire first-class cabin, no longer hiding her identity.
As she twirled the wineglass in her hand elegantly, she stared out the window, watching Fairlake getting further away.
She felt her heart clenching when she thought about Maverick.
Elven and the other bodyguards were sitting behind her.
Some played mobile games while others conversed with their friends on the phone.
âDo you know whatâs the hottest topic in Salinsburgh over the past six months?â asked Quinton.
Gwendolyn shook her head.
Iâve never enjoyed surfing the internet.
At most, Iâll check up on how Angleâs artists have been doing recently.
âDo you know, the Jenson family has done some incredible things during that time.
They have surpassed the Harris family and become the richest family in Salinsburgh.
â âI see,â uttered Gwendolyn expressionlessly.
It seems my old pops isnât doing so well, considering how quickly the family was dethroned from the top spot so quickly.
âItâs fine.
Since Iâve returned, Iâll help my father regain that spot.
â Quinton gave her a thumbs up in admiration.
âAccording to the news, the eldest grandson of Old Mr. Jenson suddenly returned from the army half a year ago.
In a single month, he wrestled back control of the Jenson family and became its head.
Under his leadership, Jenson Group rose at a meteoric rate.
Now, heâs the most popular figure in SalinsburghâMr. Cedrick Jenson, the man who stands atop the pyramid and garners respect from everyone.
â Gwendolyn ceased her hand movements as her expression changed.
âWhat did you say his name was?â âCedrick Jenson.
â Quinton was curious about her reaction as it was the first time she had shown any interest in other men in six months.
âDo you think heâs impressive, too?â Gwendolyn remained silent as she emptied her glass.
Why did I react like that? Their names sound similar, but thatâs all.
Although⦠âThe Harris and Jenson families arenât on bad terms, so why have I not heard of this Cedrick before?â âApparently, his parents died in an accident when he was young.
In order to protect him, Old Mr. Jenson sent him to be trained in the army,â answered Quinton.
She sighed slightly.
His parents are dead? It must be quite difficult for him to survive in the Jenson family alone.
I pity him.
