Cedrick watched her enthusiastic manner and merely nodded, accepting her arrangements without a word.

Once home, Gwendolyn headed to the kitchen to prepare some oatmeal.

After they were done with breakfast, she said, “I have something on today and must return to the Harris residence. In the meantime, don’t head to Jenson Group if you have nothing important to attend to. If any paperwork requires your attention, have Nico bring it over.”

“No need,” Gwendolyn replied.

She served him another bowl of oatmeal, concealing the unease in her eyes.

“You just had an episode of angina yesterday. You’re still weak, so don’t go around wandering. Rest for a few days and gather your strength,” Gwendolyn said.

Cedrick was a little concerned, especially when he noticed her change of clothes upon returning to their villa.

Gwendolyn usually favored dresses. However, she had changed into a pair of sturdy jeans paired with a crisp white t–shirt. The attire accentuated her tall, slender figure. It was a simple and clean look.

Something about her sudden change of style felt off to Cedrick.

Gwendolyn chuckled. “Asher dotes on me the most. What could he possibly do to me?”
