The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 225

Cedrick’s mind went blank.

Mavy?

He had never expected that name to come out of Gwendolyn’s mouth. Is she talking to him as though he was still Maverick?

Does this mean she actually still has the slightest hint of feelings for him?

The man’s heart was in utter confusion, and after mulling for a long while, he finally mustered up the courage to speak.

“Gwendolyn, I—”

Before he could finish, the red-faced woman tugged at his sleeve furiously.

“Maverick! If you dare lie to me again, I’ll dig up your coffin, destroy your gravestone, and drag your corpse out!”

She’s so brutal…

The man instantly swallowed his words.

He sat by the bedside in a daze, deep in thought.

Gwendolyn didn’t love him anymore. He had always known that.

As her ex-husband, the only use he had for her now was if she needed him as a scapegoat.

If she ever finds out about all the huge lies I made up, she’ll hate me and never forgive me, right?

Wallowing in distress, he sat next to her and watched the woman deep in slumber.

He had spent a great deal of effort on this engagement, for his biggest regret in life was divorcing her in the past. In fact, he was now terrified of losing her again.

If coming clean to her will only make things worse, then it’s better if she just accepts the fact that Maverick is gone forever. I’ll start afresh with her as Cedrick Jenson.
