The Ex and Her Riches

Gwendolyn did not answer right away. Instead, she turned to look at the man by her side, Cedrick.

Then she saw the gloomy look in his eyes as he resentfully stared at her.

He was ready to submit, but right as he was about to have it, someone interrupted. It was torture.

Realizing that Gwendolyn rejected the person on the other end of the line, Frostine. “I’m not free today. I’ll be resting at home. Let her stay if she wants to wait, but do serve her snacks and drinks. If she wants to stay and wait, then let her be.”

“Of course, Ms. Harris.”

“Mm. I have something to do today. I’ll be busy. Don’t disturb me unless it’s something major like the imminent closing of the company.”

“Understood.”

After ending the call, she moved to pin Cedrick down again. “Hubby, are you satisfied with that?”

Cedrick could not help but curl his lips as joy bloomed in his chest.

Leaning toward Gwendolyn’s ear, he hoarsely whispered, “Yes.”

Gwendolyn bent down to kiss his lips.

It was intimate and sweet as the two spent a rare afternoon together.

From their afternoon nap until evening, the two never left the bed. After the lovemaking, they continued, teasing each other on the bed. It was as if the two of them were the only ones in the world during that time.

When the sun was almost gone, Gwendolyn’s phone rang again.

This time, it was not a call from work; it was from Jennifer.

Ever since Jennifer lost her past four years of memories, Treyton brought her back to take good care of her. It had been a long time since Jennifer called her.

Once the call went through, Jennifer’s gloomy voice traveled out of the speakers. “Gwendolyn, are you free? Can you meet me for a while?”

Gwendolyn could hear that something was off about Jennifer. “What’s the matter, Jennifer? Are you in a bad mood?”
