Cedrick agreed without hesitation. “Of course. It’s only right. I will marry Gwenny and take full responsibility!”

Kieran narrowed his eyes and gave the other man a scathing look. “Do you think everything will be solved if you just took responsibility?”

Gwendolyn knew her brother well enough.

He has a grudge against Cedrick. Knowing how vengeful he is, he’s not going to let it slide without teaching Cedrick a lesson he will never forget.

“I’m to blame too, Kieran,” she said hastily. “Ceddy had just recovered. Don’t torment him.”

Kieran was unmoved. “He wouldn’t learn to treasure you if I don’t teach him a lesson. Does he think that asking for your hand in marriage is all he needs to do to court the daughter of the Harris family?”

“Kieran…”

Gwendolyn took a step forward, but Cedrick stopped her. “I will do whatever you ask of me,” he said in a level voice. “Nothing is off limits!”

“Very well.”

Upon obtaining the man’s promise and regarding him with one last haughty glare, Kieran rose and turned to leave.

Gwendolyn called out to him nervously, “Does Asher know, Kieran? You didn’t tell him, did you?”

Kieran would not bear to hurt her, but it was Asher who had disciplined her ever since she was young; he would never let both her and Cedrick off the hook.

Pausing in his stride, Kieran said begrudgingly, “Own up on New Year’s Eve.”

Gwendolyn heaved a sigh of relief. Sounds like Asher doesn’t know yet.

Placating her racing heart, she was thankful that her legs would remain functional for another two days.

Noticing it all, Cedrick took her hand. “Are you that afraid of Asher?”
