The Ex and Her Riches

Jasmine who finally realized who she had offended, turned pale. She lost her appetite for her food, for the food was made by Cedrick.

“Gwendolyn, did I just… cross Mr. Jenson again? Will I live to see tomorrow’s sunrise?”

Gwendolyn held back her laughter. “Don’t worry. He’s a magnanimous man who won’t hold you accountable for this, let alone someone as young as you.”

It was only then Jasmine held her chest and let out a heavy sigh of relief.

“So, do you still want to teach my servant a lesson?”

Jasmine quickly waved her hands and shook her head fervently. “No, no, no. That’s your right. I wouldn’t dare to cross the line. Mr. Jenson will definitely have my head.”

Forcing away another laugh that threatened to escape her, Gwendolyn took some food and placed them on Jasmine’s plate. “Keep eating. Get some rest once you’re done. I’ll ask Elven to take you out for some fun tomorrow.”

“Sure!”

After the meal, Gwendolyn brought the fruits she washed to the nursery on the fourth floor.

Despite how tall he was, Cedrick was seated on a short stool, rocking Zendaya’s bed as he shook the maracas with his free hand.

Putting down the plate, Gwendolyn then walked over to look at the smiling babies.

They were pink and plump, and their lashes were quivering as they blinked their bright eyes.

Zendaya, who was sucking on her thumb, beamed when she saw Gwendolyn coming closer to her.

Gwendolyn smiled in return as she wistfully pondered about the miracles of life.

Cedrick still did not turn around to look at her, however, and he continued shaking the maracas as if he was sulking.

Gwendolyn gently brushed her finger on his earlobe, she whispered, “Are you angry with Jasmine, or are you jealous of Maverick?”

Maverick…

It was a name that he had not heard for a long time.

Cedrick turned around. His dark eyes remained gentle, but his tone was serious as he said, “I’m angry about how mean Gwenny is. She could have changed the subject, but she insisted on getting an answer from Jasmine about who is more handsome between Maverick and me.”

Gwendolyn’s finger continued trailing up his ear before gliding past the spot between his eyes. Finally, she ended with a flick to his forehead.

“It’s you anyway, so why are you angry? Everyone has a terrible history. I never retaliated when the Wright family bullied me for loving you for three years at Fairlake back then.”

Cedrick fell silent.
