The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 425

As Cedrick took a deep breath, he couldn’t help but feel a burning sensation in his nose.

Over the last half a year, he had escaped from the jaws of death many times and went through hell and high water with Gwendolyn.

Only God knew how much he desired and was looking forward to finally receiving the marriage certificate.

As tears clouded his vision, he bit his lower lip and curled into Gwendolyn’s arms before burying his face in her shoulders.

With her arms wrapped around his broad back, she patted him gently to comfort him.

Cedrick kept his head down as he sobbed inaudibly.

It wasn’t until a short while later that he regained his composure and uttered in a deep voice, “The strong wind has caused sand to enter my eyes.

Let’s hurry home now, Gwenny.

” Gwendolyn played along with a smile.

“You’re right.

The wind is kicking up a lot of dust.

If we stay here any longer, even my eyes will turn red.

” With that, both of them held each other’s hands and clasped their fingers tightly together.

Even though registering the marriage was a glorious occasion, Cedrick and Gwendolyn decided to keep the matter under wraps.

They didn’t receive any congratulatory messages or spark an uproar.

All they did was spend the day quietly as if it was just another uneventful day of their lives.

When evening arrived, Cedrick invited Nico and Summer over for dinner.

They planned to open a bottle of wine and enjoy a simple celebration together.

Since Nico didn’t know how to cook, he assisted Cedrick in the kitchen.

As for Summer, she watched TV together with Gwendolyn while helping her peel some fruits.

Once in a while, voices of men arguing could be heard from the kitchen.

“Cedrick, what should I do with this vegetable?” “Remove its stalk and cut it into smaller pieces.

” A short while later, Nico’s voice rang out again.

“How many pieces do you think is appropriate?” Thereafter, another question was heard.

“Cedrick, how do I peel garlic?” “Cedrick, what shape should I cut the meat into?” “Cedrick, the prawns look pretty clean.

Do you still want to remove their veins? By the way, how do I do it?” “Cedrick…” Unable to endure it any longer, Cedrick blew his top.
