The Ex and Her Riches

Jennifer mentioned that Mrs.

Newton had a red mark on her wrist.

However, Craig is her son and the head of the family.

Why would he harm his mother? Something suspicious is going on.

As Gwendolyn graciously accepted each spoonful from Cedrick, she asked curiously, “Craig is the deputy director of the Federal Bureau of Investigation, isn’t he? How well-acquainted are you with him?” Cedrick’s hand froze in mid-air.

His chiseled features contorted into a cold and stern expression, betraying a hint of displeasure at the sudden topic of discussion.

“Why are asking about him all of a sudden? Did his appearance at last night’s banquet captivate you?” His words held a tinge of bitterness.

Cedrick remembered the striking resemblance between Charles and Craig, except for their different eye colors and auras.

Gwendolyn was stunned speechless by his reply.

She playfully tapped his forehead and teased, “What’s going on in your mind? Are you getting jealous again without reason?” Cedrick maintained his silence, his expression conveying a deep-seated resentment and lingering agitation.

Gwendolyn took a deep breath and said sincerely, “I asked because I’m genuinely concerned about Jennifer’s situation.

You and our precious babies mean everything to me.

No other man could ever grab my attention.

” Her words provided him comfort, alleviating his doubts and insecurities.

“Craig is a cunning and calculating person.

Having known him for many years, I know he is driven by self-interest and practicality.

Familial and romantic relationships are a low priority to him.

” Gwendolyn seemed to have understood the situation.

“So, if his interests are threatened by Mrs.

Newton, he may potentially harm her?” “Well…” Cedrick lowered his head and pondered for a moment.

“It’s hard to say.

After all, she’s his mother.

It’s unlikely he would abuse her.

” Gwendolyn’s worry for Jennifer grew further.

“I truly hope Jennifer can survive the homecoming feast unscathed and establish herself as a legitimate heiress within the esteemed family.

It would be wonderful if she could become engaged to Treyton and marry soon.

” Setting aside the half-eaten risotto, Cedrick embraced Gwendolyn’s waist and leaned his head gently against her belly.

“Instead of concerning ourselves with other people’s weddings, why don’t we focus on planning our own?” “Uh… Our babies are just over a month old.

Maybe we should wait until they are a bit older before we proceed with the wedding.

There’s no need to rush.

” Cedrick decided not to say further as he did not want Gwendolyn to be mistaken that he did not care about the babies.
