The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick’s expression became stern all of a sudden. “Are you saying you nearly drowned when you were fifteen, and someone might’ve pushed you?”

Gwendolyn nodded. “I lost my memory until the night I married you. You intentionally worked overtime at the office and didn’t come back. Natasha came looking for me that night and said a lot of things to hurt my feelings. She caught me off guard and pushed me into the pond from behind. I hit my head on the corals and regained my memory.”

Cedrick’s heart broke when she mentioned the events from three years ago. Overwhelmed by guilt, he hugged her tighter.

Gwendolyn didn’t notice the change in his mood, so she continued, “However, I can’t remember anything about what happened to me. Occasionally, fragments of my memory would pop up in my mind when I get triggered. That being said, I could never connect those fragments of memory together.”

Cedrick mulled over it for a while and came up with a theory. “Gwenny, could you have lost your memory because you were injected with some substance?”

“That’s possible.” She put her hand over her chest and felt her heartbeat before burying her head in Cedrick’s chest. “Ceddy, I’ve been feeling uneasy since I started having nightmares. I keep feeling as though something bad is going to happen.”

Cedrick couldn’t help feeling anxious upon hearing that. “Maybe it’s because you’ve been too tired from work recently, and you’re under too much pressure. Don’t overthink. Why don’t you just take a few days off and relax?” he consoled her.

Gwendolyn gave it some thought and replied, “Forget about it. I have too many things on my hands. If I don’t finish my work, I’ll feel agitated.”

With that, she got out of Cedrick’s embrace and sprawled on his cross-legged lap. She then brushed her hair aside, revealing her back and fair neck, folded her arms, and rested her head lazily on her arms.

In a weary tone, she uttered, “Ceddy, I had a nightmare, and I’m feeling weak all over. Please give me a massage.”

Cedrick froze momentarily when he laid eyes on her posture and saw how plump her bottom was.

While feasting his eyes on her, he gulped and felt his body heating up.
