The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 336 Must Not Say

Suddenly, Charles dashed toward Gwendolyn from the palace.

When he saw she was still there, joy returned to his countenance. Immediately, he grabbed her wrist.

“What are you doing?” Gwendolyn was dumbstruck for a second as she stared at her hand. When she raised her head, she saw his teary blue eyes. I’ve never seen him sad before. He seems surprisingly genuine like this. It’s like he’s a different person from his usual self.

Charles didn’t even care Nico was around as he pleaded in a choked voice, “You’ve opened my eyes with your words earlier, Gwen. I promise I’ll reflect on my actions and do better. You gave Cedrick a chance before. Can you do the same with me?”

Gwendolyn gazed at him in silence.

With a sincere look, he continued, “I’ll show you that I’m the man who loves you the most in this world. Since we’re already here, please don’t leave, okay? Mother is still waiting for us to join her for lunch.”

She glanced at Nico as she thought about the duke.

Moments later, she softened her tone. “What about your injury?”

Charles grinned nonchalantly. “I’ll press a bag of ice on it later. If the mark is too obvious, you can help me cover it up with makeup.”

“Sure.” Gwendolyn sighed with relief in her mind. I didn’t expect to get away with doing that so easily. “I still don’t like the blue gown, though. If you insist I wear that, I’ll still leave.” I’ll never wear a matching outfit with him.

Charles relented, “Fine. As long as you don’t leave, I won’t force you to do anything you don’t want to.”

After she nodded, they reentered Alzer Palace. Nico and Jonah followed behind in silence.

Back in the Federal Bureau of Investigation, Craig narrowed his eyes while sitting at his desk.

His face was hidden behind a cloud of thick smoke as he held a cigar.
