Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 305 Argument Gwendolynâs heart ached.
415 Bonus So, thatâs how he sees it all this while.
He thinks that heâs going to die and feels guilty for being a burden to me.
Letting out a sigh, Gwendolyn reached out to comfort him.
âCeddy, listen to me-â For the second time, Cedrick pushed her hand away and turned his back to her.
Soft sniffles soon accompanied his trembling shoulders.
Unable to contain his emotions anymore, he came to a decisive decision.
âI know that heâs your first love and both of you have history.
If you⦠still love him and are firm in choosing him, I will not stand in your way!â With that, he headed back upstairs without looking back.
The outburst left Gwendolyn shocked and furious at the same time.
Upon regaining her senses, she ran after him.
âCedrick, what the hell are you talking about? Did hit your head somewhere?â you Cedrick quickened his pace and flew to the third floor like the wind.
He then slammed the door before locking it from the inside.
As Gwendolyn was right behind him, she managed to stop in the nick of time.
Otherwise, her head wouldâve been at the receiving end of the closing door.
The sight of the tightly shut entrance caused her blood to boil.
âWhatâs wrong with you, Cedrick? How dare you slam the door in my face? What are you throwing a tantrum for? Whatâs so difficult about hearing my explanation? Open the door right now!â Two minutes later, there was still no indication that the door was going to open anytime soon.
As it was already late and Gwendolyn had busied herself the entire day, exhaustion began to take its toll on her.
Coming home to be at the receiving end of Cedrickâs temper drained the very last of her patience.

Weâll talk only after All she heard in reply was a long silence.
+15 Bonus you calm down.
â Without another word, Gwendolyn turned around and headed to the room next door.
Once he heard the door from the room next to his close, Cedrick slumped to the ground with his back against the door.

With the room lights still off, he simply sat alone in the darkness.
Fortunately, his chest pain didnât act up, a sign that the medication he had consumed for it was working well.
Yet, he could feel pain everywhere else in his body.
The air in the surroundings was so still that it triggered a sense of dread within him.
With his ear to the door, he listened carefully for any movement outside.
It seems quiet.
Has Gwendolyn fallen asleep so quickly? Just as he was lost in thought, the room lights were turned on with a click.
The sudden burst of illumination was so jarring that he couldnât open his eyes at all.
He suddenly felt his wrists tied up with a belt within the few seconds he was caught off guard.
Thereafter, Gwendolynâs beautiful face emerged right before his eyes.
âItâs you?â Staring right into his eyes, Gwendolyn flashed a taunting smile.
âYou left the balcony door open, so I snuck in from next door.
Am I a genius or what?â Exasperated at having his hands bound, Cedrick struggled desperately to free himself.
âUntie me!â âAre you still trying to calm down? If I donât show you any attention, do you think you can actually fall asleep? Or were you planning to sit by the door the entire night?â Gwendolyn gently lifted his chin with her finger.

Why should I continue to tolerate your bullsh*t? The only thing I trust is the result of my investigation.
â Gwendolyn was incensed by his words.
âHave I been spoiling you too much lately? Why are you kicking up a fuss over nothing? Must you make me force you to listen instead?â The frustrated Cedrick snorted as he refused to look at her.
Unfazed by his defiance, Gwendolyn grabbed a shirt from the wardrobe and stuffed it into his mouth.
STROME She then carried him up by his waist before hurling him onto the bed with all her strength.
Due to how soft the bed was, the impact didnât hurt Cedrick at all.
After rolling across the bed, Cedrick glared at her while making muffled sounds.
Ignoring his protests, Gwendolyn grabbed another belt from the coat stand and tied his kicking feet up.
She lifted both his hands above his head and tied them to the bedpost.
âStop moving! Youâll hurt yourself if you struggle, and then Iâll have to apply medication for you!â Her actions continued to outrage Cedrick.
With his chest heaving intensely, he stared daggers at her.
Never in his life had he been so angry at Gwendolyn.
Sitting by the bed, Gwendolyn was a sea of calm as she watched him struggle fruitlessly.
She stroked his chest in an attempt to calm him down but didnât pass up the opportunity to tease him.
âLooks canât kill, so donât waste time.
If you refuse to listen to my explanation, Iâll have to force it upon you my way.
I hate it when thereâs a misunderstanding, especially when itâs one you have about me!â Finally, Cedrickâs breathing began to steady.
Nonetheless, he continued to struggle with his wrists.
Gwendolyn let out a sigh before putting on a serious expression.
âListen well, Iâll only say this once.
Youâre absolutely not a burden to me.
Since Iâve made my decision to be with you, Iâll never leave you regardless of how hard the path ahead is.
Charles is just someone I admired when I was young.
Those feelings have disappeared a long time ago.
Now, all I feel for him is á Chapter 305 Argument +15 Bonus you hatred and the urge to rip him apart after the torment he has caused you with the virus.
Weâve been through so much together.
Is my love for you not obvious enough? Why do still doubt me and assume that I chose Charles? Am I that disloyal to you? Itâs true that I got Asher to bail him out and met with him tonight, but thatâs because he has the cure to your virus.
Saving your life is the only reason Iâm doing all this!â The moment she finished, Cedrick finally stopped struggling.
As he lowered his gaze, teardrops could be seen at the tip of his long eyelashes.
Due to the fact that he was being tied up, his expression looked inexplicably pitiful, especially when juxtaposed against the domineering Gwendolyn.
Caressing his face, Gwendolyn gave him a gentle and tearyâeyed look.
âAre you still angry?â Cedrick shook his head.
Gwendolyn removed the shirt she had stuffed in his mouth and gave his sore jaws a massage.
âIs there nothing you want to ask me?â Cedrick swallowed the lump in his throat and replied, âIâm sorry.
â His apology elicited an affectionate smile from Gwendolyn.
âDonât be a fool.
I forgive you.
Itâs normal to say things we donât mean in an argument.
â It would be unreasonable for her to hold it against a sick patient.
As the rage within him eased, Cedrick felt like snuggling up to her.
It was then that he remembered that he was still tied to the bedpost.
âUntie me, Gwenny.
â Once he was free from his bonds, he wrapped his arms around her waist and climbed greedily into her arMs. âDo you really have no more questions?â Gwendolyn repeated.
Cedrick gave it some thought, then freed himself from her embrace and locked gazes with her.
âI learned that you visited Charles in prison half a month ago.
Was he the one who told you about my sickness?â Gwendolyn was stunned, Nico had told her that Cedrick had ordered the matter to be kept a secret.
Since it was a breach of discipline to reveal it to her, terrible consequences awaited whoever did it.
4/5 Chapter 305 Argument With that thought in mind, she gave him a firm look.
âYes.
â Bonus Furrowing his brows, Cedrick began to analyze the situation.
âEven Joshua was at his witsâ end when it came to the S404 RNA virus, so how did Charles know about the cure? Even if he did, he would never give it away for nothing.
Did he use this to demand something in return from you?â Gwendolyn took a deep breath after being put in the spot.
Just as expected from my man.
Heâs capable of cornering me with just a few words.
