Chapter 318
Wooing My Ex-Wife
Chapter 318 Go Easy Gwendolyn reached up to cover her face when she sensed the anger in his tone.
She stopped resisting, allowing him to carry her into the house.
Elven, on the other hand, was stunned.
âMs. Gwendolynâ¦â What am I supposed to do? Do I go into the villa to perform my duties as a thirdâ
wheeler or do I go to Angle? âGo to Angle and get William to see if Nico needs any help.
â âYes, Ms. Gwendolyn!â With Elven gone, the alley became silent while Cedrickâs unusual aura hung in the air.
âSo, you know about it already?â asked Gwendolyn uneasily.
Cedrick merely walked forward in silence.
+25 Bonus Cr*p.
Heâs really furious.
I knew heâd be mad when he learns about the truth.
I just didnât expect him to find out about it so soon.
Geez.
I didnât even have time to prepare myself mentally.
It did not take long for them to arrive at Harrick Villa.
Gwendolyn wanted to get down and walk on her own, but Cedrick had other plans.
He proceeded to carry her upstairs without saying a word.
As they entered the bedroom, Cedrick thought of dumping her fiercely onto the bed like how she had treated him the last time.
However, he could not bring himself to do so when he felt her slender waist.
He feared it would hurt her.
Finally, he chose to place her upright on the bed.
All the carrying had made him feel hot.
He loosened his tie with one hand and threw his coat on the bed.
Rolling his sleeves, he asked, âAre you going to explain it yourself, or should I do the questioning?â
âIâ¦â Gwendolyn inhaled deeply as she watched his actions.
If he were Asher, that action paired with the same expression meant he was going to beat up someone.
Nonetheless, Gwendolyn was sure Cedrick would never dare to hit her.
I am sure he wouldnât dare.
Therefore, she quickly regained her confidence and said, âYes.
I was the culprit.
Itâs your fault for drinking alone without informing me, though.
You were even alone with Evelyn.
This is to teach you to be careful and not get drunk so casually.
â Cedrick looked grim and questioned, âWhoâd dare to do anything when I have Nico on guard? I shouldâve known.
Nico would never let another woman apart from you doodle on my body.
â Propping her chin up with his slender finger, he growled, âDo you know why I went out to have a drink 1/4 Chapter 318 Go Easy alone? Itâs because you made a deal with Charles.
You were even planning to marry him!â The thought of that filled him with frustration.
There had been many instances where he wanted to give in during the past two days.
+25 Bonus However, the thought of Charlesâ proposal to marry Gwendolyn kept bugging him.
In fact, it would keep bothering Cedrick as long as he did not hear Gwendolynâs answer.
T Avoiding his gaze, Gwendolyn muttered, âWhy are you bringing this up again? Are you not going to let this go?â âNever! I want you to promise me youâd never agree to his last two conditions!â Gwendolyn fell silent.
When there was no answer from her, Cedrick gripped her shoulders and said sternly, âGwenny, you can marry anyone except Charles if I fail to live past winter.
â Frowning slightly, she decided to compromise, âOkay.
I give you my word.
â She then glanced at her shoulders and demanded, âLet go.
Youâre hurting me.
â Only then did Cedrick quickly loosen his grip and massage her shoulders.
At the same time, the look in his eyes softened.
Gwendolyn chuckled.
He canât even hide his true feelings.
How is he going to counterattack? Stifling her laugh, she asked, âAll right.
Werenât you planning on making me pay back? What do you have in mind?â Cedrickâs hands stopped, the stern gaze returning to his eyes.
âDo you admit you worked with Nico to set me up and even let him come up with such a rotten idea to cuff myself to the bed?â âI admit it, but Iâll still do it again,â said Gwendolyn with a casual smile.
âYou!â Cedrickâs fury was ignited once again.
âLooks like you had fun setting me up, eh? Very well.
Iâll make you pay you pay back for all of it today.
â âAre you going to cuff me?â Her voice was gentle.
At the same time, she placed her delicate wrist before him.
âThe handcuffs are a little heavy since theyâre made of metal.
Please be gentle, Ceddy.
â Cedrick eyed her wrist, which appeared as though it could snap easily because of how skinny it was.
Well, the handcuffs from last night were quite heavy⦠Realizing his resolve was weakening before he had even taken action, he steeled himself and snapped, âI wonât go soft on you this time!â Gwendolyn merely smiled, indirectly exposing him.
ä¸ 2/4 Chapter 318 Go Easy +25 Bonus Her stares made him feel awkward.
Regaining his stern countenance, he stated, âThatâs for another day.
forgot to bring the handcuffs today, but Iâm going to make you pay for the times you hit me.
Give me your hand!â Gwendolyn opened her palms obediently, her eyes twinkling.
âDo you need a ruler? Thereâs one in the drawer.
â Her teases annoyed him.
âWho says Iâm going to use a ruler? Iâm not going to use that!â While saying that, he moved his arms to his waist as though he was about to unbuckle his belt.
With her palms still exposed, she said nonchalantly, âAre you really going to hit me? Youâd better think this through.
What goes around comes around.
Youâd better not let me catch you making a mistake next time.
â Sure enough, Cedrick paused in his tracks.
Gwendolyn smirked mischievously at his reaction.
âIâm a petty person.
I might make you pay back a hundred or even a thousand times more when Iâm in a bad mood the next time.
Youâd better prepare yourself.
â The look on Cedrickâs face did not change, but his hand simply hung by his belt.
Fck! Neither buckling nor unbuckling it seemed appropriate.
Frustration swelled within him as he stared at the mischievous woman.
Ugh! This woman knows how to control me.
âDonât just stand there, Ceddy.
My hands are getting tired.
Be quick with it.
â âHow dare you hurry me? Whoâs the one getting punished now? You should behave like me when Iâm in the wrong!â he hissed.
Gwendolynâs brows creased into a frown as she glared at him.
âIâm already behaving myself! Stop dilly- dallying and finish this quickly!â For some reason, Cedrick felt as if he was getting pushed into a corner.
Gwendolyn had already said she would accept the punishment, yet his hand would not move.
However, her arrogant attitude put him on the spot.
Nothing he did seemed right.
Amidst the standstill, someone knocked on the door.
It was Ezra, âMs. Gwendolyn, a deliveryman dropped by just now.
Apparently, itâs confidential and urgent, so I took it for you.
Do you need it now?â Cedrick took advantage of the situation to buckle his belt and cast Gwendolyn a curious look.
âA secret parcel? What did you buy?â Gwendolynâs face turned pink instantly.
There was only one thing she had bought recently, It was originally meant to make Cedrick yield, but she had forgotten to track the parcelâs delivery status.
3/4 BB.
Chapter 318 Go Easy What bad luck! Why does it have to arrive now? âUh⦠You can just leave it in my room next door.
I donât need it now.
â âWait.
â Her flushed cheeks and even ears caught Cedrickâs attention.
Why is she so flustered? 51% +25 Bonus That only fueled his suspicion.
Hence, he opened the door and accepted the exquisiteâlooking box from Ezra.
âDonât open it!â 1 14 14 *** 11 ** 141 14 43 75 12 4/4
