The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 334 Ugly Nico

Gwendolyn was slightly stunned. It’s not like I came specifically to meet with my future mother–in–law. Why do I have to dress fancily?

As she still needed to deal with Charles, she replied aggrievedly, “I didn’t bring a lot of clothes with me during this trip, and none of them are more appropriate than what I’m already wearing.”

The disappointment in Charles‘ eyes gradually transformed into regret when he heard her explanation. “I’m sorry. It was my oversight. I should’ve prepared an appropriate dress for you beforehand. Please don’t get angry at me, Gwen. It won’t happen again.”

Gwendolyn shifted her sight away. (It’s fine. You don’t need to apologize.”

“Let’s go. We’ll head in first and stroll around. I’ll get someone to send a dress here before noon. After that, we’ll have lunch at Mother’s place.” Looking rather obsessive while smiling at Gwendolyn, Charles tried to

hold her hand.

Before he could, she furrowed her eyebrows and reflexively avoided him.

That action provoked Charles immensely as he stepped forward and gripped her chin. “We’re about to get married, so why are you still resisting me? Why is Cedrick allowed to princess carry you and kiss you in public, but I can’t even hold your hand?”

“We’re not married yet, so we’re not a couple. What made you think you had the right to hold my hand in public?” Gwendolyn stared back at him firmly.

Nico, who was exiting the vehicle, witnessed that scene and promptly bolted forward to grab Charles‘ wrist. “Let her go! Don’t hurt my employer!”

In response, Charles released Gwendolyn’s chin, though his wrist was still tightly clutched by Nico. He tried flinging the latter’s hand away twice, though he failed both times. “Are you the bodyguard Gwen brought here this time?”

Nico was in an ugly disguise today. There was a large red birthmark on his left cheek and a giant mole on the edge of his right eye. Additionally, his face was covered in red spots, and his nose was highlighted with makeup.

The deception was’successful as Charles didn’t recognize him.
