Chapter 233
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 233 Giving Gwenny A Massage Cedrick sounded proud when he said that.
It seemed like he was in a good mood.
He made himself seem like a piece of artwork that Gwendolyn had carefully and attentively completed.
Nico stared at him in shock.
Cedrickâs gaze seemed to be saying⦠Look! My wife did this! Isnât she amazing? Khaff! Khaff! âIt looks wonderful!â Nico gulped before nodding and complimenting Cedrick.
âMs. Harris is indeed impressive!â Satisfied, Cedrick buttoned his gown to cover the love bites.
Seeing that Cedrick was in a good mood, Nico hurriedly tried to claim credit.
âBoss, shouldnât I get some credit since you were able to enjoy yourself? Ms. Harris mustâve been touched by everything that I told her.
Is that enough for me to redeem myself?â Nico was nervous.
Previously, he was deducted two yearsâ worth of salary.
âYou did well.
â Cedrickâs lips curved into a smile.
He emanated an elegant yet arrogant aura as he said, âIâll return the previously deducted salary.
On top of that, Iâll also give you a six-month bonus.
â Nico cheered inwardly.
Ahhhh! Boss is the best! Heâs the worldâs kindest leader! However, Nico was still worried about Cedrickâs condition.
âBut, Boss, please donât use such a dirty trick in the future.
Although you knew beforehand that you werenât shot in the heart, your life will be in danger from losing so much blood.
â Cedrickâs eyes darkened as he shot a look at Nico.
âAre you saying there will be a next time? Are you hoping that Gwenny and I will argue again?â Nico turned pale with fear.
âTouch wood! I was just spouting nonsense.
Boss, please donât deduct my salary.
You havenât even banked in the moneyâ¦â Sh*t! I take back what I said about the boss being the worldâs kindest man! Heâs so unpredictable, temperamental, and unreasonable! Cedrick could not see through Nico to discover the rage and curses the latter was thinking in his mind.
His expression turned hostile as he said, âLetâs get to business.
â Nico quickly regained his composure and straightened his back.
âTonight, Ms. Harris secretly brought me to the Jenson residence and claimed some benefits from Mr.
Xander for you.
â After knowing that Gwendolyn had not left, Cedrickâs expression softened.
âWhat did she do?â âSheâ¦â Nico paused momentarily as he tried to find the right words to say.
âShe stabbed a knife through Mr. Xanderâs chest and tied him up before pouring itching powder all over him.
She was quite vicious with her act!â Cedrick furrowed his brows into a frown.
His tone was icy as he replied, âShe even poured the powder onto his private parts?â âNo! Of course not! I helped her do that!â Nico hurried to wave his hand, denying Cedrickâs claim.
He tried to please the latter by buttering up to him and said, âBoss, you have such a nice figure.
How could Ms. Harris lay her eyes on a skinny man like Mr. Xander?â Cedrick scoffed but lost the frown on his lips when he heard that.
Nico continued, âHowever, this isnât a small matter since Mr. Yael is not one to back down from a threat.
He definitely wonât let this slide.
Iâm sure heâll throw a fit tomorrow morning.
â âWhat are you afraid of? Let them cause trouble if thatâs what they want, but allow them to only do it in the ancestral hall at the Jenson residence.
Send some people to stand guard.
Donât allow any of them to make a scene at the Harris residence.
â âYes, Boss.
â âAll right.
Run along now.
Iâll go back and accompany Gwenny.
â Cedrick waved his hand to dismiss Nico.
Without waiting for the latter to respond, he returned to the room.
Nico stared at Cedrickâs retreating figure and tutted.
My, my⦠Boss is in such a good mood after he got laid.
Cedrick disliked having a female nurse change his IV drip.
Hence, a male nurse entered the room the next morning with a stainless-steel medical tray.
When the nurse pushed open the door, he was greeted by a shocking scene.
Cedrick, who wore a hospital gown, was sitting beside the bed and carefully feeding Gwendolyn.
She had just woken up and was still in bed.
The nurse was confused.
Who the heck is the actual patient? He stood rooted to the ground, dumbfounded.
He stared at Cedrickâs large and muscular back and was impressed by the latterâs adoration for Gwendolyn.
This is a master class level of spoiling oneâs wife! Cedrick could not be bothered if anyone saw them.
The only thing on his mind was that Gwendolyn was tired from their activities at night and needed to replenish her energy.
Besides, it had taken him much effort to win back his sweetheart.
It was only natural that he would spoil her.
He was going to pour all his love and attention onto her so that she would never leave him.
He wanted to make sure he spoiled her so much that she would not be able to handle her daily affairs.
On the other hand, Gwendolyn thought differently.
She stopped Cedrick from continuing to feed her when she noticed the male nurse standing at the door.
âAre you here to change his IV drip? Come over.
â The nurse carefully brought the tray over.
Cedrick instinctively held out his left hand to let the nurse insert the needle.
Gwendolyn was about to get out of bed and let Cedrick sit in a more comfortable position to receive the IV drip.
As soon as she got up, Cedrick placed a hand on her shoulder and pushed her back down.
He fondly said, âYou worked hard last night.
Lie down a little longer.
Is your waist sore? Iâll help you massage it later.
â Gwendolyn immediately flushed a bright red.
Thereâs still an outsider here! How can he say something so shameless and misleading? âB*gger off!â
Gwendolyn gently pushed his chest as her face got redder in embarrassment.
In the end, she pulled the blanket over her head and hid herself.
How cute.
Cedrickâs lips tugged into a grin as he stared at her.
In the next second, his gaze shifted to the thousand-watt âlight bulbâ beside him.
He glared at the male nurse and coldly said, âHurry up.
â âY-Yes, Mr. Jenson.
â The nurse quickly changed the IV drip and left the room.
Cedrick glanced at Gwendolyn, who was still under the blanket.
His right hand disobediently reached into the blanket and gently massaged her slender waist.
âAre you feeling better from the massage? Now you know how hard it is to be a man.
â His deep voice was magnetic.
Still hidden under the blanket, she remained silent yet inwardly agreed to Cedrickâs words.
Those few hours last night almost broke her waist.
Until now, her legs were still trembling from how weak she was.
However, women who sought sexual pleasure could not lose to their male other halves.
Gwendolyn lifted the blanket and struggled to sit up.
Not admitting defeat, she pouted and exclaimed, âOh, hush! Wait until you get better! Iâll make sure you beg me to stop! Besides, I was very fierce last night!â Cedrickâs smile widened as he reached out to pull her close to him.
He lightly rubbed his nose against hers and acted coy.
âWell, then⦠If youâre that fierce, why donât you finish breakfast, and we can have some dessert? I want moreâ¦â Gwendolyn reached up and pushed his face away.
âYou shameless b*stard! Canât you be more aware of the surroundings?â Cedrick was unfazed by her cursing as he leaned forward and snuggled against her chest.
If I were shameful, I wouldnât have been able to chase after you.
I wouldâve been brutally murdered and burned to ashes instead! Gwendolyn could not help thinking that he was really pushing his luck.
She grumpily ruffled his hair before smoothing it down.
She repeated her actions and laughed as she had her fun.
The two were messing around when someone suddenly knocked on the door.
In walked Yaelâs bodyguard, Charlie Yandell.
He solemnly said, âMr. Jenson, Mr. Xander was injured last night.
Ms. Harris seems to be involved in that incident.
Sheâs your fiancée, so naturally, youâre deemed her accomplice.
Iâll have to ask you to please make a trip to the ancestral hall.
â Cedrick did not reply.
As though he had not heard what Charlie said, he remained silent in Gwendolynâs arMs. On the other hand, Gwendolynâs expression turned grim as she glared at Charlie.
âAre you blind? Canât you see that Ceddy is injured badly? How dare Xander sends his lackey to invite Ceddy to the ancestral hall? Is he courting death? Besides, whoâs the leader of the Jenson family right now? Is this the attitude a subordinate should have when talking to the head of the family?â
