Chapter 223 Nowhere To Hide
Suspicious thoughts raced through Gwendolyn’s mind.
Valentino was still speaking when she snapped out of her thoughts. “Cedrick’s really fallen for you. By the way, you’ve been back for a few days already, right? Have you two met yet? What’s your first impression of him?”
“I haven’t met him yet, Old Mr. Jenson,” answered Gwendolyn.
She then seized the opportunity to continue, “I’ve been sending people to meet him these days, but he’s been avoiding me. So, no. I haven’t met him yet.”
The look on Valentino’s face grew serious. “Did that really happen?”
He then asked Logan to enter and ordered, “Get Cedrick here this instant. What’s he avoiding her for?”
“Yes.”
In the meantime, Gwendolyn kept her smile while chatting and having coffee with Valentino.
Ten minutes later, Logan returned.
“Old Mr. Jenson, Mr. Jenson isn’t coming tonight. He’s on a mission.”
“What kind of mission’s so urgent that he has to bail his fiancée’s party? Ugh. This rascal!”
Valentino stomped his cane on the ground and tried to stop himself from being too harsh with his words. He assured her, “Don’t worry, Gwendolyn. I’m going to bring him here, even if it means kidnaping him.”
Instead of rejecting the suggestion, Gwendolyn smiled obediently. “We’ll follow your lead.”
Valentino cast her an affectionate gaze, but it darkened when he shifted his gaze to Logan.
“Tell that rascal to kneel in the ancestral hall for three whole days until his legs break if he doesn’t show up on time today.”
With that, Logan left.
Ten minutes later, he returned again to report gloomily, “Mr. Jenson says he’ll… carry out his punishment in the ancestral hall once he returns from his mission.”
