The Ex and Her Riches

Because of the matter with Gina, both Gwendolyn and Cedrick were particularly careful in recruiting a nanny, going as far as screening the candidates’ family background and experience.

In the end, they decided on a kindly middle-aged woman known as Zoey Yarde, who preferred to be addressed as Mdm. Yarde.

Ever since they hired Zoey as a nanny, Cedrick was finally liberated from his duties, enjoying a far more peaceful and comfortable life.

The days of peace and comfort flew past.

In the blink of an eye, it was the twins’ welcome baby party. Gwendolyn’s postpartum recovery had also gone well, and she was back on her feet.

There was a horde of guests during the party. They all surrounded the twins and praised them to the skies, beyond fond of them.

Gwendolyn ordered Cedrick and Zoey to keep a close eye on the twins, asserting that the babies must always be within a meter of their line of sight.

As newborns were fragile, the guests were merely allowed to look without touching, much less cradling them.

Meanwhile, she went to the door to welcome the guests.

Shortly after, a handsomely-dressed Treyton arrived with a sizeable gift in hand.

Noticing that he was alone, Gwendolyn asked in curiosity, “Why did you come alone today without waiting for Jennifer?”

A hint of embarrassment showed on Treyton’s face. “She’s pretty busy with work recently. I suspect someone said something to her, for I can’t shake off the feeling that she’s deliberately distancing herself from me these days.”

“Did you anger her?”

“No.” Treyton pondered for a moment before adding, “It’s nothing unusual for couples to have a few quarrels occasionally, no? She never acted like this in the past, but she’s been exceedingly cold toward me lately.”

“I’ll help you feel her out when I’m free, okay?” Gwendolyn proposed.

“Forget it. I’ll handle my own matters.”

Patting her brother on the shoulder, Gwendolyn urged solemnly, “How could you take offense with a woman when you’re a man, Treyton? It’s best to quarrel less in the future. Give way to her as much as possible. Too many conflicts will hurt the relationship.”

“Got it.”

Treyton bobbed his head, listening to her lecture obediently.

Recalling Kieran’s message, he continued somberly, “Oh yes, Kieran happened to fly over to Fairlake last night, so he probably won’t be able to make it today. He asked me to give you a monetary token, promising to buy the twins a gift when he returns to Salinsburgh.”
