The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 318 Go Easy

Gwendolyn reached up to cover her face when she sensed the anger in his tone.

She stopped resisting, allowing him to carry her into the house.

Elven, on the other hand, was stunned. “Ms. Gwendolyn…”

What am I supposed to do? Do I go into the villa to perform my duties as a third–wheeler or do I go to Angle?

“Go to Angle and get William to see if Nico needs any help.”

“Yes, Ms. Gwendolyn!”

With Elven gone, the alley became silent while Cedrick’s unusual aura hung in the air.

“So, you know about it already?” asked Gwendolyn uneasily.

Cedrick merely walked forward in silence.

It did not take long for them to arrive at Harrick Villa.

Gwendolyn wanted to get down and walk on her own, but Cedrick had other plans. He proceeded to carry her upstairs without saying a word.

Finally, he chose to place her upright on the bed.

All the carrying had made him feel hot.

He loosened his tie with one hand and threw his coat on the bed. Rolling his sleeves, he asked, “Are you going to explain it yourself, or should I do the questioning?”

“I…” Gwendolyn inhaled deeply as she watched his actions.

If he were Asher, that action paired with the same expression meant he was going to beat up someone.

Nonetheless, Gwendolyn was sure Cedrick would never dare to hit her.
