The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 335 You Are Too Selfish

Charles had asked people to prepare everything while they journeyed to Alzer Palace.

Inside the room was a chaise lounge with a blanket made from a white fox’s fur. Delicate desserts, coffee, and fruits were seen on the coffee table.

Three wardrobes sat at the side, all containing various styles of exquisite dresses. The fluffy carpet had two lines of high heels sitting on it.

The stylist and makeup artist had been waiting for a while.

When they saw Gwendolyn and Charles, they greeted the duo with standard courtly etiquette. Gwendolyn was unhappy. “I’m not used to people helping me change and putting makeup on me.”

Without delay, Charles waved at the stylist and makeup artist. “Leave.”

He stepped toward the coffee table, grabbed a plate of cake, and presented it to Gwendolyn. “This is a special cake from Erihal, Gwen. It’s very delicious. I had it made and sent here. Give it a try.”

Gwendolyn peered at it with disinterest. For some reason, not only was she lacking any appetite, she even felt slightly nauseous. “I don’t feel like eating anything sweet lately. Eat by yourself if you want.”

Then she approached the dresses and began picking which one to wear.

Immediately, Charles settled the plate on the table and helped her pick an outfit earnestly.

He eventually selected a high–quality, silver–blue winter silk gown. “This one looks great. The blue’s pleasant to the eye. It also has long sleeves. If you pair it with a white fur shawl, you won’t feel too cold.” Most importantly, it pairs well with the blue suit I’m wearing, making us look like a couple. I’m excited to wear a matching outfit with her since we’ve yet to do it.

Excitement swirled in his eyes.
