The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 280 She Loved It When He Was Vulnerable

Gwendolyn widened her eyes in shock.

For a sick man like Cedrick, his mind was incredibly sharp.

As Gwendolyn allowed him to lead her back to the master bedroom, she pondered on how to deal with

him.

As soon as they sat down on the edge of the bed, he leaned closer to her and extended his bony fingers toward her to unzip her jeans.

Staring at him in disbelief, she asked, “Are you planning on undressing me completely to examine my injuries?”

“What do you think? I have to check your calves, thighs, and butt.”

He would not be at ease until he personally confirmed that she was unharmed!

Clutching her pants firmly, Gwendolyn moved her backside away from Cedrick, keeping a distance.

Then, she mustered up her courage and glared at him accusingly. “Cedrick, you pervert! I don’t believe for a second that you simply want to examine my injuries. I can’t believe you’re not behaving yourself even when you’re sick!”

On the contrary, Cedrick actually didn’t have other thoughts because his mind was solely focused on whether she had been hurt when she went back.

“No, it’s not what you think. Besides, I’ve seen every part of your body. What’s wrong with letting me take a look? Are you feeling guilty about something?” he retorted.

Gwendolyn furrowed her eyebrows. Seems like he’s not going to let this rest until I let him check me.

She bit her lower lip as her eyes filled with resentment, as though his words had hurt her.

“I have nothing to be guilty of! I told you, Asher didn’t make things difficult for me. I can’t believe that you don’t trust me!”

Gwendolyn’s anger intensified as she argued. In retaliation, she pushed him down onto the bed, straddled his body, and pinned down his wrists, rendering him unable to move.

Honestly, she quite enjoyed Cedrick in his vulnerable state. He was easy for her to overpower, which made it fun to tease and bully him.

It allowed her to gain the upper hand instantly.

“How audacious of you to question me! Is your trust in me so fragile? Think about what happened yesterday when you said so many hurtful words to me. I didn’t leave you out of spite because I believed in you, didn’t I? But what about you? How dare you suspect me of lying over such a small matter?”

Cedrick was startled by her beratement. If there was any color remaining on his already pale face previously, it drained away now.

He just didn’t trust Asher.

However, he couldn’t bear to look at Gwendolyn’s wounded expression and listen to her questioning tone.
