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.

Cr*p. He’s really furious. I knew he’d be mad when he learns about the truth. I just didn’t expect him to find out about it so soon. Geez. I didn’t even have time to prepare myself mentally.

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.

As they entered the bedroom, Cedrick thought of dumping her fiercely onto the bed like how she had treated him the last time.

However, he could not bring himself to do so when he felt her slender waist. He feared it would hurt her.

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.
