The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick stopped blowing on the soup, stunned for a moment. However, he quickly returned to his senses.

“Darling, did you forget! Last night, you said the bedside lamp was too bright and asked me to take it away. You also told me not to put something like that near the bed anymore.”

Gwendolyn was dumbfounded.

“Why can’t I remember anything? Besides, that lamp wasn’t even that bright. Why did I think it was blinding?”

Cedrick smiled warmly as he continued to blow on the spoonful of soup. He brought it to her mouth and asked, “How should I know? A woman’s mind is an unfathomable thing. You’ve been exhausted from work lately, so you might not have cared about small matters like these. It’s normal to forget about it after waking up.

Is that normal? I don’t think sof Gwendolyn felt it was strange. Although deep in thought, she obediently opened her mouth to let Cedrick feed her

Cedrick stared at her fondly and tenderly while his hands continued to stir the soup to cool it down.

While Gwendolyn ate, her gaze drifted over to the other side of the bed. The strange feeling in her heart increased. “Hubby, why is your bedside lamp still there?”

To a perfectionist like her, if she were to remove the bedside lamp on her side, she would also have Cedrick’s removed since the bedroom would look weird with only one lamp. Why would I remove only one bedside lamp because it was blinding!

Cedrick remained calm as he coaxed her, “Darling, I’ll take it away later if you don’t like it.”

I will not put arry more dangerous items on the bedside tables. If possible, I want to me Gunny’s dresser out of the bedroom too. We don’t need anything else but this bed.

However, he could only keep his thoughts to himself.

Seeing that Gwendolyn was still ruminating over the unusual situation in the room, Cedrick held out another spoonful of soup. “All right, Gwenny. It’s just a small matter. You don’t have to get worked up over it. You have a lot of work to complete today, right? It’s almost one in the afternoon. I’ll send you to Harris Group after you’re done eating”

“It’s almost one!*

At that point. Gwendolyn was beginning to grow doubtful about her life. Why do I sleep until noon every day? Why would either have a headache or feel exhausted when I wake up? Why don’t I make up in between?

Cedrick quickly fed her more food to stop her from further thinking of the recent mysterious events.

Gwendolyn obediently finished the bowl of food. After that, she laid down on the bed while Cedrick gave her a massage.

The soreness she felt all over her body was soon relieved. She sat up and wrapped her slim arms around Cedrick’s slender waist.

Since his waist had injuries from the whipping last night, Cedrick trembled slightly in pain as he scrunched his eyebrows

Afraid that Gwendolyn would notice his odd demeanor, he forced himself to keep a neutral expression. He straightened his back and endured the pain as she hugged him.

Gwendolyn gently pecked his lips. “My husband is so considerate. If you continue to spoil me like this, I’ll become a spoiled brat who doesn’t know how to do anything herself.”
