The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 234

“Yes. I’m terribly sorry. This is my first time relaying a message. Please forgive me, Mr. Jenson, Ms. Harris.” Taking advantage of his identity as Yael’s subordinate, Charlie didn’t bother showing Cedrick and Gwendolyn any respect.

To Charlie’s surprise, however, Gwendolyn reprimanded him before Cedrick could speak. Startled by the woman’s aggressiveness, he immediately showed subservience.

Cedrick felt his heart leap with joy when he heard Gwendolyn defending him. Putting on an amicable expression, he said, “I’ll be done with my IV drip in two hours’ time. I’ll return by then.”

“Noted.” Before Charlie left, he added, “Since Ms. Harris is your fiancée, perhaps she should come with you to the ancestral hall.”

“Sure,” Cedrick replied flatly. He wanted to lean against Gwendolyn’s chest again after the door closed, but she pinched his cheek instead.

“Ouch! Gwenny…” Cedrick grimaced in pain but didn’t dodge her.

Amused and annoyed at the same time, Gwendolyn loosened her grip and said, “Well played, Cedrick. That was quite crafty of you. You made me the bad guy, didn’t you?”

“No. I’m just happy you defended me.”

Only then did Gwendolyn let go of him and rubbed his reddened cheek gently with her thumb.

Cedrick beamed, enjoying the affection he was receiving.

The next second, however, his expression turned serious instantly when he thought of the matter concerning Xander. “Gwenny, I’ll send you back to the Harris residence later. You don’t have to go to the Jenson family’s ancestral hall.”

“Why not?” Gwendolyn questioned, her tone placid. “Everyone on the internet knows I’m your fiancée. Besides, what happened last night was indeed my doing. I should be there, no? Though the Jensons won’t be able to do anything to me, I don’t want to miss a good show.”

Cedrick tapped her nose dotingly upon hearing that. “All right, then. If that’s what you want, we shall go there together.”

After the IV treatment was done, Gwendolyn helped Cedrick put on a shirt and a suit.

The love bites he had on his body were impossible to ignore, and the ones on his neck, in particular, were so obvious that they could not be concealed. He looked as if he had been taken advantage of.
