The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 344 Having Morning Sickness In Public

His sparkling eyes that were filled with passion were pinned on her, yet she turned away, refusing to look at him

The coat that was forcefully draped over her did not make her feel warm, she felt chilly instead.

Removing the coat, she returned it to him and said. “The banquet’s starting soon. You should put it on since you’re going upstage later. Besides, the heater in the hall is turned on. I won’t be feeling cold in there.”

A look of surprise and delight flashed past Charles’ eyes. “Are you worried about me, Gwen?”

His reaction only filled her with disgust and rage. Frowning, she lowered her gaze to conceal her emotions while stuffing the coat into his arms.

Charles reached out to take the coat and put it on as instructed.

At the same time, his charming face lit up with a bright smile. “This is great. I’m looking forward to our life in the future.”

Gwendolyn did not share his joy. She merely pursed her lips and ignored him. Thinking of the plan later made her grind her teeth in silence.

The spacious banquet hall was filled with royals.

Suddenly, the violin band seated in the corner of the hall changed their tune, and the lights dimmed, except for the flickering red candles on the long table..

Following that, the spotlight was turned on, and everyone’s gaze fell on the spiraling stairs.

Kylie, dressed in an elegant dress inlaid with gold, stood on the highest step, smiling and giving the crowd a graceful wave.

The banquet was organized by her, hence making her the main character that night.

Rounds of applause and words of praise filled the air the moment she appeared.

As the crowd continued to shower her with flattery, she held the sturdy marble railing and slowly descended the stairs.

The spotlight followed her figure until she arrived at the center of the stage, where a microphone was placed. With a graceful wave of Kylie’s hand, all the applause and chatter came to a halt.

Gwendolyn watched and listened quietly to Kylie’s mandatory speech, occasionally applauding along with
