The Ex and Her Riches

Chapter 484

Apart from the sparkling blue eyes, there was no denying that the man’s face had lost all youthfulness. His skin was rougher than before, and the beard he kept only made him look like a foreign middle-aged man.

It was as if he had endured several hardships in the past year, and the stress aged himn rapidly.

Despite that, his eyes were still full of love and tenderness as he gazed at Gwendolyn

“Hello, Gwen. It’s been a while.”

Gwendolyn, on the other hand, stood transfixed in shock and disbelief.

Wow. It’s been almost a year, huh? I never thought Charles would change this much, but he does seem far more mature now…

After scrutinizing him for the longest time, Gwendolyn finally broke into a smile. “It’s been a while, Mr. Newton.”

Even though Charles was a little taken aback by how she had addressed him, he quickly understood the situation when he saw Cedrick standing behind her.

“It’s been way too long since we last met. Can I get a hug for old times’ sake?” he said, spreading his arms wide as he looked expectantly at Gwendolyn.

Instead of replying, the latter turned toward Cedrick, only to realize his head was down and his expression unreadable.

Hmm… It’s just a simple hug, and it’s not like I’m doing it behind his back. He wouldn’t mind, would he?

With that thought in mind, Gwendolyn stepped forward gingerly and opened her arms.

Alas, she was about a meter away from Charles when she suddenly felt a nudge on her arm.

Upon turning around, she saw a grim-faced Cedrick marching toward Charles, looking like he was poised to fight.

Oh, no! This is only the first day of Charles’ return. Is he going to get a knuckle sandwich as his welcome-home gift?

“Hubby…”

Before Gwendolyn could finish her sentence, Cedrick had walked over to hug Charles, albeit reluctantly and awkwardly.

“My wife’s a married woman, after all. I’ll stand in for her.” Cedrick muttered before patting Charles on the back.
