The Ex and Her Riches

Cedrick pulled the quilt over her body and helped her lie down properly. He said in a gentle tone, “Sleep tight. I will stay up tonight. If Benny wakes up, I will prepare his milk for him. Don’t forget that I did all these things when you had just given birth to him. I’m more familiar with this than you are.”

Since he had said so, Gwendolyn nodded. “All right. This can help to exhaust your energy as well.”

Cedrick bent down and kissed her soft lips. He couldn’t seem to get enough of her.

Gwendolyn closed her eyes and slept peacefully.

Cedrick stayed by her side for a while. Once he was sure she had really fallen asleep, he went to Benedict’s crib.

Time flew by for those who were sound asleep.

But for Cedrick, who was wide awake now, the night felt very long.

Sometimes, he even wondered if their lives would be more relaxed if he and Gwendolyn weren’t from wealthy families, he didn’t have a military background, Gwendolyn didn’t have to bear the responsibility of being Ms. Harris, and they were just a normal married couple with a pair of adorable fraternal twins.

However, these were all just his fantasies.

Both he and Gwendolyn had too many responsibilities that couldn’t be avoided.

Cedrick slowly fell asleep when he was in his own thoughts.

At five o’clock early in the morning, he was woken up by Benedict’s cries.

Alerted by years of military training, Cedrick woke up as soon as he heard Benedict’s faint cry. He quickly carried Benedict and gently soothed him.

Then, he turned around carefully and glanced at Gwendolyn, who was on the bed.

Thankfully, Darling is still sound asleep.

He carried Benedict and left the baby’s ward to the nursery next door to prepare milk for Benedict.

The next day, Cedrick had only slept for two hours when Nico arrived.

As Gwendolyn was still asleep, Cedrick gestured for Nico to stay quiet and walk softly.
